Strange how the LPC is running a front runners campaign but isn’t leading. Could be a decision they end up regretting.

As I read commentary on this forum in which advocates go into great detail about how fair the CGT increase is, how it targets only the right people, etc I’m reminded of the Ronald Reagan quote - “in politics, if you’re explaining, you’re losing.” 4/4

Thinking today of my Mom who we lost in July. She was always so proud of the military service of our family. A proud member of the @RoyalCdnLegion . Here she is getting ready to place the Legion wreath at the Waterloo cenotaph. #LestWeForget

When I first started in political polling one rule of thumb was the biggest block of persuadable voters was always Liberal-Conservative switchers. Not anymore. It’s now Lib-NDP switchers. Especially in Suburban ridings. They are the group to watch in the next election.

@shaunhaney @JohnIbbitson If you want a country with a declining and old population like Hungary or Serbia, cutting immigration makes sense. Almost all of Canada’s population growth today comes from population aging and immigration.

Challenging motives, questioning interpretations requires superior credibility. The polling shows making it about credibility plays to JWR’s strengths, not the Libs.2/3

In public opinion the federal carbon tax has transformed from being about carbon and climate into being about the tax. It has morphed into a political liability for the Trudeau Liberals similar to what the GST was for the Mulroney PCs in the early ‘90s.

My advice? Ignore twitter, columns, political shows. Go on Stats Cd website and learn how Canada is changing. Go to the suburbs and walk around. Look and listen. How do they see things? What are their struggles? What do they value? Connecting with this is key to winning. 4/4

Our latest poll on housing for @globalnews shows how desperate it has become. 80% say owning a home in Canada is only for the rich. That’s up 11pts since last March. 72% (+9%) say they have given up now on ever owning a home. Numbers are higher for Gen Z, Millennials. 1/n

If budget was supposed to please Gen Z and Millennials, they are slightly more positive about it than older generations. But reaction among Gen Z and Millennials still overwhelmingly negative. The same goes for every other major demographic group and region. 3/n
