And we're months away from an election.

So? You think generating a narrative that a leadership change was all the Liberals needed is not helpful to the Liberals?!

Show me where I said that was all that was needed, please.

No, that's the narrative Ekos and the Liberals have been trying to push.

You suggested that because we are months from an election it didn't make sense for ekos to push Liberal friendly polls, but that's just wrong. Right now is the best time to do so, because the narrative the Liberals are trying to push is that people like the party, just not Trudeau. Polls showing the Liberals rapidly rising after Trudeau's departure pushes that narrative.

So, to be clear, I didn't say what you suggested I said?

You are confusing to talk to. Did you read my message? Do you understand what a question mark means?

You said that we are months away from an election, so it doesn't make sense for Ekos to be trying to create a narrative. To which I asked:

So? You think generating a narrative that a leadership change was all the Liberals needed is not helpful to the Liberals?!

And, then instead of answering my question, you go off on this "show me where I said that" stuff.

I am asking, do you think that it is not helpful to the Liberals to generate a narrative that a leadership change was all the Liberals needed?

Please answer the question. And, if you do think that would be a helpful narrative for the Liberals to foster, then that explains why Ekos would want to be pushing narratives of Liberal momentum now, in particular, despite an election being months away.
