  1. What about the polls? How large a sample size? Are they proportional and fair? If the sample size is large enough, it should be allocated proportionally according to the population of each province. If 10,000 Canadians are polled, shouldn’t 1,400 British Columbians, 1,200 Albertans, 400 from Saskatchewan and 400 Manitobans be a part of that poll?
    BIG QUESTION : Is there political interference in the poll? It’s difficult to trust polls.

    1. If you wanted to actually find out you’d go look at the nanos website but you’re not interested in facts only spouting bs in comment sections lol

    2. @Starky513 Nick Nanos is a known Liberal supporter, with a history that goes back YEARS.I wouldn’t trust ANY of his ‘polls’….. LOL

  2. Who knew we’d have such dishonest and disrespectful politicians…I guess we do need law to prevent thief’s and liars from getting away with this.

    1. We do have laws, a wide variety of laws, this is a society of laws. It’s just a matter of using them, and we’ve seen abundant proof that these weasels simply refuse to do that.

  3. The polls are so fake it’s going to be just like the American election a populous win and a big Hilary loss goodbye Trudeau

    1. Economy and job creation is stronger now than it was under Harper. It’s not exactly an easy sell to say we need a new government lol.

  4. Silence bought & paid for with taxpayers money !!!
    Its beyond sicken that the leader & liberal party get away all they have done & no consequences…..
    Shame on everyone who stands with this party
    Go to jail or hell if the pple had thier say …
    Anyone eles would be in jail !!!!! Criminal

  5. It is over for the liberals come October and mr, Mackay surely sounds like a liberal being a conservative and polls are bs

  6. I have lived in Canada for over 50 years and have never been polled for a federal election. Must be selective polling…

    1. Even if they polled a fair range of Canadians there line of questioning is highly flawed and full of bias. They don’t even include the parties other than Liberal or Conservative in the choices they present and they will ask them in a misleading way and record the data to fit their narrative. For example they will ask voters if they are Liberal or Conservative and based off that they will assume where the vote is going to end up. That’s not accurate.. I’m a libertarian but I also have some admiration for classical Liberal ideologies and true conservative economic ideologies. In the end my vote comes down to what platform covers all the aspects I like and which platform wants to take care of Canada first. There is only one that has a bit of all of that and puts Canada first

    1. Vote rich Toronto (416) still supports Liberals at over 50%.. but here in the 905 his support has dropped by 7%

  7. “I thought it was over. I thought it might actually result in the Prime Minister having to step down.” Totally agree. That’s exactly what should have happened.

  8. One set of rules for me, another for thee.

    Ultimate hypocrite. And the fact Canadians support him still is a national embarrassment

  9. Unfortunately some Genders believe Trudeau’s poor acting and bs. He is a very Dishonest disgusting creepy guy. Scandal after scandal should tell the story

  10. Why did Peter McKay retire, he’s still young and experienced and never became PM and had PC roots and he would be way better that Fatsy McDimples guy Andrew Scheer.

  11. I’m hard pressed to understand how any Canadian can view Justin as a success and an effective leader. He has devalued the office of the Prime Minister in both domestic and international affairs. His faltering and scripted speeches, apologies and tears do not reflect my ideal of a strong leader.
