That’s why it’s an outlier spot on the card, but these are interesting times.

if i vote CPC this year it will be in spite of PP not because of him
Pretty sure Poilievre thoroughly ate the PPC’s lunch. While PPC could still cost the CPC a few seats in close ridings - and while this time around that absolutely could matter - there’s zero prospect of the PPC actually winning any seats outright.
A hypothetical LPC victory and political collapse for Poilievre could conceivably see a bit of popular support shift back towards PPC, but the poll that means anything would already have happened. I definitely will be checking the data after the election to see if PPC end up meaningfully impacting any races. They probably cost CPC a half dozen seats last time.

Carbon tax coming off fuel in the middle of an election might be worth a couple of points
Certainly won’t hurt.

Agreed.
A Political collapse for PP could actually see the CPC fragment again. The more extreme elements finding refuge under a PPC banner, a regional element and the centrists either trying to make a go of it or accepting their fate within a more centrist LPC.
I don’t actually see a lot of depth in the CPC to see who would pick up the leadership banner from PP.

John Ivison? I generally like what he writes but not sure he’s up to that task.

Huh ? I assume you're an adult and you're free to vote for who ever you wish for what ever reason that works for you.
Why are we talking about you casting a vote ?

What I find amusing is all the calls for the CPC to launch a full platform with no election called, particularly when the LPC keep stealing CPC ideas to to boost their polling.
If the poll slip for the LPC again, I can see them considering a common sense firearms act... Anything to hold power.

The days of voting for policy are long gone in my opinion, if everyone in the Liberal party switched places with everyone in the Conservative party, I'd say 50% of voters would still vote for whatever party they always have.
More then 50 in the USA....

I would love to see that.
I mean their firearms legislation does as much for public safety as carbon tax does to help the environment.
Maybe the precedence is set now to walk back ineffective policies?

I'd love to see a LPC that didn't consider me worse than actual criminals, but that may be asking for too much.
Has worked for Doug Ford. I’m fine with walking back bad policy.

I think that's why he's my favourite politician right now. Certainly not afraid to say "Oop's, my bad."
The Order in Council for the consumer carbon tax being dropped to zero as of April 1st has now been posted. SOR/2025-107. That was fast.
