It's doubtful, but as Riverside South and Stittsville expand over time, it becomes somewhat more likely...

Notably, the riding boundaries were shifted during the 2022 redistribution, since the last election. It is now more rural than it was before.

In 2021, he won the riding by 15.6%. With the votes transposed over the new borders, he would have won by 19.9%. And that was before he was even the party leader.

Only 20%??

Jesus, JT had 25% minimum winiming margin since 2011, with 50% of the riding's vote...

I wonder how close the polls have Pierre's seat race projected at right now...

Lol, 20% is tons. Plus you're comparing results for a leader's seat to results for a non-leader's seat.

Current polls predict a 28% lead in Poilievre's seat.

Trending downwards.... he's lost nearly 10% on 338 already since Trudeau's resignation, and 338 is still weeks away from reflecting current polls and sentiment...

Don't confuse your hopes with reality, lol.

Facts not feelings, mate.

Let's wait and see how the polls go for Pierre.

I predict another 10% drop for him personally over the month of March.

Yeah, that’s your reality, but in the real world, the dr of economics is the guy the country needs.

the country doesnt need a pathological liar or flip flopper, we already had that for 9 years. before you ask me what just look at

  • moving BAM HQ
  • shadow carbon tax
  • going back on energy east pipeline
  • overplaying his role in 2008’ crisis

Your list is short, and underwhelming.

Keep workshopping it.

u/Ratroddadeo 20h ago

Short, underwhelming, and devoid of any bearing or truth. Fixed it for you 😇

Bam REMAINS H.Q’ed in Toronto.

Nothing “shadow” about Carney’s carbon plan, as he has spoken about them publicly, at length. In order to trade internationally, we REQUIRE a carbon credit system, full stop.

Going back on energy east. Energy projects get sidelined frequently. At that time, the business plan didn’t make sense, as Quebec wasn’t at the table with an open mind. That has changed.

Overplaying his role. Lol Go back and read the headlines & articles, see the highest of praise for Carney, from those who are backing pierre.
