Summary
A record 7.3 million people have cast their ballots over four days of advanced voting in Canada’s election, marking a 25% increase over the 5.8m advanced ballots cast in the 2021 vote.
There are further indications the election campaign dominated by threats from Donald Trump has galvanized voters, including unusually high ratings for two debates last week.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is the frontrunner, though Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative party is incrementally gaining ground.
This year, polling points to a two-party Liberal-Conservative race.
Wouldn’t call carney and the liberals lefty, there centrists. The left NDP party under Singh has been losing ground as people have ben rallying around the liberals to make sure the conservatives don’t win.
Still would probably piss off trump and his crew. They just probably won’t get much progress, but considering the direction of a lot of other western countries not backsliding into fascism is pretty good.
Singh has the charisma of a rock. The NPD died with Jack Layton and that is a damn shame.
I just hope that the NPD can find it’s footing again because we need a strong left leaning party
I think Wab Kinew should go federal and take lead of that party. I think choosing an indigenous person might still be a bit too progressive for some parts of Canada but I genuinely think he could do really well.
