I have a feeling that our government, even now, has no idea as to the state of influence by China (and other countries) in Canadian affairs. There are probably far more traitors, spies and saboteurs operating here now than the government knows. The Chinese are that good at what they do.

Conversely maybe certain government officials (elected) do know but either won't buy into it and dismiss it or outright refuse to do anything about it.

Those who signed the NDA are prohibited from individually disclosing any information they were provided, without the Government’s permission.

Probably will need another week of data to see if the aggregate moves.

Not surprising as this is likely the leadership choice “yuck” factor realigns with reality.

The next election will likely be about the economy and our relationship with the US. Trump and Daniel Smith may be the “events” that the LPC needs to make this a closer race.

Give it another week and some more polling, but nobody should be surprised to see a bit of a reversion. So much of the LPC’s unpopularity is tied to Trudeau personally. The election issues are also shifting somewhat. As we’ve discussed here before, nobody can ride the crest of peak popularity indefinitely; it always eventually falls off a bit. This is exactly why PP has been screaming for an immediate election since the fall. They didn’t actually want Trudeau to step down without it being from an election loss.

LPC and NDP know this and will still be scrabbling at any possibility of holding the CPC to a minority so they don’t have to sit it out for four full years. I don’t think holding them to a minority is likely to succeed, but it’s probably the larger objective.

That’s why Singh will support the new PM right through to October…27th. Singh can easily justify it by saying that the Trudeau menace is gone, and he’s here to help PM Carney shield Canada from Trump.

I think we saw in the letter from Jagmeet this week the NDP intended to prop up a Carney led LPC until the fall.

I have that suspicion.

I have that suspicion.

I'm not convinced Carney is the shoe in for the LPC leadership. It would be interesting to see what happens should Carney lose. And how the NDP handles that.

Oh the sweet irony of the NDP propping up a former Goldman Sachs executive and Bank of Canada/England Governor!

Do you think the Desmarais family wants someone else shaping the future fortunes of Power Corp.?

He isn’t. The NDP would give CF the same leeway I think despite her links to JT. Plus they won’t want to be seen as taking down a newly appointed female PM too soon etc

JS knows he’s got more power in this situation than a potential next one.

The NDP had lost its way as the party of the poor and downtrodden

That is rather interesting eh ? Especially with Carney being another rich, white male.

 

[Halifax Tar]

Good summation on Clark and her fumble...

I expect the CPC to play the identity card for sure.

That's better

I don't think I'd call that playing that card, I think it's more questioning the sincerity behind that messaging.

But yes, that could be an exploitable spot.

I can almost guarantee my vote is going for Freeland. Unless Tracey Wilson runs.

So a male white millionaire career politician in a fight with another older male white millionaire about their stances on women.

Sounds about right.
