Westcoastmaven 🇨🇦<p>Did you catch it? When <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Carney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Carney</span></a> asked PP why he didn’t have a security clearance? After a long-winded answer, Carney looked directly at PP &amp; indicated it was more than a China problem &amp; left the rest hanging implying PP knew why. I suspect the India interference in the last Conservative leadership campaign when Brown (another candidate) was suddenly tossed had something to do with PP’s win.

Vanni Di Ponzano ⁂🚴 ❤️ ☕ 🍎<p>As for voting intentions, the situation is nothing less than historic. Six months ago national polls gave Poilievre a twenty-point lead, as he savaged Justin Trudeau daily. Now the Liberals (in our poll) have almost as strong a lead, even as PP tries to destroy Carney. This 40-point swing in such a short period of time is without precedent in Canada.</p><p>It appears Mark <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Carney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Carney</span></a> is about to be handed a majority government. </p><p><a href="https://www.greaterfool.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Final-Poll-Results-April-14-2025.jpg?x77405" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">greaterfool.ca/wp-content/uplo</span><span class="invisible">ads/2025/04/Final-Poll-Results-April-14-2025.jpg?x77405</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/canpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/election2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>election2025</span></a></p>
Westcoastmaven 🇨🇦<p>Notice how quiet Trump has been about Canada recently? Notice how Conservatives are rising in the polls? I don’t think they are unrelated. I suspect a reminder to Canadians about the threat &amp; chaos Trump wants to further unleash on Canada would be very helpful to the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Carney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Carney</span></a> campaign right now.

Westcoastmaven 🇨🇦<p>I've watched a couple of Carney's non-political interviews (Jon Stewart &amp; Nardwuar) pleased to find a candidate who is quick-witted with a great sense of humour. And, nobody can match <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Carney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Carney</span></a> on economic knowledge. He has also sat around global board tables with their expertise &amp; held his own. I take all of this as a sign he's going to be very good in the debates next week when matched against PP, the master of venomous comments with his biting one-liners &amp; populist slogans. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/elxn45" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elxn45</span></a></p>
