“ Fresh data from Léger suggests the federal race has tightened dramatically. #Poilievre’s once-massive Conservative lead has evaporated, and the Liberals under #MarkCarney are surging across the country—especially in Quebec.
We don't know whether Mark Carney’s momentum will last, but early numbers appear favourable to the Liberals.“ #Canada
Ekos had released a poll yesterday showing Liberal support at 48% IIRC with the CPC down and the NDP collapsing to something like 8%. Frank Graves pulled the poll because his gut feeling was it was too much of an outlier.
That may be, but Ekos polls tend to be ahead of the curve, so who knows?
@Sir_Osis_of_Liver I have no idea. I’m just posting his stuff hoping that the trend is in the right direction
I think it's a legit swing. PP has spent most of the last few years identifying with right-wing populists and going along with Trump. At this point, that's turned toxic.
With Trudeau gone, and Carney driving the bus, more moderate conservatives are taking a second look at the Liberals. Carney has a lot of solid connections with Bay St (Canada's Wall St.). He understands and gets along with them. He is one of them. PP has never hidden his distain for those he considers "Bay St Elites".
The big question for me is how Carney does in debates, especially when dealing with the attack-dog and gish-galop style that PP always resorts to.
@Sir_Osis_of_Liver I’m learning. Thanks for that.
“PP has never hidden his distain for those he considers ‘Bay St Elites’. “
Except when he holds fundraisers with them.
“The contrast between the prickly, public Poilievre, who took pleasure in bashing CEOs, and the private politician glad-handing his way into finance circles struck James and me as a story worth telling.”

Maybe he's put in an effort to smooze Bay Street more recently. David Frum relayed a few anecdotes of PP meeting with or giving talks to business associations that didn't go as well.
It’s likely that Bay Street has come to the realisation — like many more Canadians — that with Carney replacing Trudeau, Poilievre is definitely the poorer choice when it comes to governing Canada.
