The Orwellian double-speak of (some) pollsters

Check it out: Trudeau has “collapsed” – but it’s “reversible”!

I love Will’s comment.

But, on the horse race stuff, it’s clear. And it means Trudeau needs new advisors, among other things:

Nationally, this latest poll shows the NDP slightly edging the CPC, with 36 per cent of decided support among likely voters (see notes on methodology at the end of this report), just ahead of the governing Conservatives (33%), while the Liberals pull up third at 23 per cent.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing, and I am so, so sorry for Ray and Gillian. I met Jenn at many political events, and always admired her determination. She will be missed. 


From this guy, this is a big deal

Apart from Bob Hepburn – who has taken to writing fiction – Den Tandt was the only commentator they had left. 

Either way, Liberals cannot gild this lily, and their supporters would be better off not to try. They may conceivably wind up in a fight to hang onto what they now hold, which is 36 seats. Having the leader cut a lower profile while he bones up on his debating skills will not cut it. I would venture a guess that Trudeau either embraces his underdog status and scraps it out, mano a mano, or he loses, big.

Have the feeling this is all going to end badly? Me, too.
