According to virtually all the polling, that choice is between Liberal Mark Carney and Conservative Pierre Poilievre. One wants to bring back fiscal prudence; the other, plastic straws.

Remarkably, the Liberals have held a five-to-seven-point lead in the polls from the beginning of the campaign, which they carry into the last, mad dash to the finish line.

In fact, according to the latest Nanos Research survey, Carney now leads Poilievre by six points. Several other polls, including on 338Canada, CBC/The Writ and Mainstreet Research, project a Liberal majority government of between 178 and 189 seats.

    This sums my view up. I would have voted for Pierre, if it was him vs Trudeau. But…Carney came along and seems logical and competent. Plus I can’t read or watch anything about the conservatives without them applying some grade-school level bullying tactic. Libs got my vote this time.

      I’d have agreed, until it became obvious what a Trump-fellator Polievre had become. I think if Harris had won down south, even Carney couldn’t have saved the Liberals. Charlie Angus was not wrong, the Liberals have Trump to thank if they win.

      You were perfectly ready to cut off your nose to spite your face and that is the big problem with Canadian politics that will never be solved with electoral reform alone.
