UPDATE | When approached for comment by the CBC over the role of Indian interference in the CPC leadership race, namely how agents of the Indian government may have asked MP Rempel to retract her support for Brown, the MP quickly stood up & ran away saying something about lunch.

This is such a new level of cope Trump won all the swing states and even, incredibly so, won the popular vote

not a landslide

They're asking for like 24% wage increases in 4 years...

Yet something like 70%+ of people don't want the carbon tax anymore People just lie

Good news guys, the level of discourse around election forecasting on this site has just increased tremendously! Crushing for X really to lose the keys!

PR isn't super useful in the US with really only 2 parties Obviously this could change but a reform is a lot less important than in Canada for instance

Brendan Nyhan@brendannyhan.bsky.social · 2y ago

Endorsed by 200+ political scientists, legal scholars & historians (including me), who call for "inclusive, multi-member districts with competitive and responsive proportional representation" because "[o]ur arcane, single-member districting process divides, polarizes and isolates us from each other"

I think BlueSky could become this digestible Substack for experts to share stuff while X will remain the political townsquare

One of the saddest parts about Twitter over the last couple of years has been the completely hollowing out of the intellectual sphere Twitter used to be a hotbed for experts that provided unique insights into our society Hopefully Bluesky can restore that, because it was a net good for us

POV, you are a party with no ideology trying to maintain government in Quebec

So there's supposed to be 'starter packs' of people to follow? Anybody has a pack for pollsters or economists?

So basically we'll now need to have a X account to follow right-wing people and a BlueSky account to follow left-wing ones? Avoiding echo chambers is getting tedious

The Liberals have gone from "we're proud to increase the carbon tax during high inflation, it shows our commitment" to "let's actually pause it for 3 years". Incredible really

Federal Polling: CPC: 40% (+6) LPC: 24% (-9) NDP: 19% (+1) GPC: 8% (+6) BQ: 5% (-3) PPC: 5% (-) Nanos Research / October 20, 2023 / n=1000 / MOE 3.1% / Telephone (% Change With 2021 Federal Election) Check out federal details on @338canada.bsky.social at: 338canada.com

The "apple video" has brought Poilievre as close as ever to Trudeau on Google Trends I genuinely expect Poilievre to be tied in this metric during the campaign, something unthinkable before him

Okay people explain to me why this poll shows that Crombie, supposedly a right-wing leader, is the most popular among NDP voters!

My current projections (based on fundraising and Google Trends) for the OLP leadership race: Crombie 42% Naqvi 21% Erskine-Smith 20% Hsu 17% Bonnie Crombie well ahead then it's a close race for second. I think Crombie wins this

How is the PC still at 40%? Will Ontarian Boomers just support Trudeau and Ford forever?

What are some of the best polling/election accounts on Blu?

I know the OLP race only interests like 5 people total but why is Nate doing sooooo bad on Google Trends?

Well since it's impossible to talk to a real human being on Twitter, I guess I'll post my Ontario Liberal Leadership projections here Hi everyone!
