CTVNews.ca's Michael Stittle and Nanos Research's Nik Nanos discuss the latest federal polling showing the Conservative Party has a 'statistically significant' lead over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party – but in Nik's experience, it could be for reasons you might not have thought about.
The 'Rolling Thunder' convoy protest is expected to arrive in downtown Ottawa this weekend, this time on motorcycles. How do Canadians feel about the seemingly growing trend of protests?
Also, Nik breaks down some exclusive numbers from New Brunswick, after the People's Alliance closed up shop with the leader throwing his support behind the premier.
Finally, what does Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter mean for political speech in Canada?

We should have had this leadership contest before the last general election. O toole could not have been worse
The entire Conservative Party is a joke.
@Justin Harasyn PP couldn’t win against either of those puds but now they think he’s going to be successful?
@Paul speaks volumes of your character doesn’t it? When a so called male votes Trudeau one wonders.
@Lorne Myers ad hominem attacks are a weak argument, and speak volumes of your character.
Lets be real here. Canada is progressing toward the American 2 party system.
This will only lead to further societal polarization.
@Thrill House I’m a conservative and not right wing I’m center right. I’ll never support Justincompetent, or Jagmeet
@Derek actually, it’s you that has no clue…you think NDP voters would vote conservative? ya right…
@Thrill House you base that on what? Half the country doesn’t even vote. Maybe it’s because there isn’t a right wing party to vote for.
@Cody Perry I based what I said on an assessment of the general electorate. Do you think government policies and our social system represent that of a conservative country? 🤔
Sure, one week later Nick.
Sort of irrelevant at the moment. We are likely years away from an election.
You can Thank JUghead Shyte for that….
Not to mention the almost guaranteed disappointed conservatives not voting conservative after the leader gets picked and they don’t like it.
Grasping aspic dandies.
Now you just have to keep that lead for about 3 more years.
Not when he’s in Jail
@RicK Oshay nah, his wife Jagmeet Singh will bait him out
Maybe we are just fed up with the Liberals. We are not happy at the Liberal/NDP collaboration. It provides certainty for the Liberals and same old, same old. No solutions! And since the truckers we are watching Parliament and the no answers, it is very unattractive.
The Liberal-NDP coalition currently has support of half the electorate, while Conservative has only a third. So let’s no kid ourselves that there is some sort of backlash.
If that were actually true the could have kept O’Foole and gotten a non confidence win
@Paul not with the NDP constantly supporting the LIEberals
Feedom is “divisive”? I don’t think there’s a more unifying idea on the planet!
Not according to liberal extremists
Are you referring to the freeDUMB protests?
Disagree. I am a Canadian living in Japan and have been through the entire pandemic here. It’s the upside down world here in many many ways and Japanese seem to love it. The average Canadian would go mad here
Pierre for the win!
” Significant”????? more like a land slide. I don’t know where you get your numbers????
you do know a “landslide” is a significant margin of victory?
Maybe a landslide on Mars, not on this planet tho.
Pierre ALL THE WAY
how can you have free speach if the goverment is tranical and vengfull towards the ones that have elected them .
that made zero sense bud…all of it.
How can a guy that can’t even spell tyrannical talk about it?
Nanos said he has not seen numbers like these for the Conservatives since Erin O’Toole was leader of the party.” – lol how did that turn out
Got 2 clowns running the country.
Maybe we don’t want a dictator
what?
Canadian energy independence. STOP BUYING ENERGY FROM OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD!
So you don’t know how it works and what it would take to put the infrastructure in?
Pierre all the way!
Pierre Poilievre For Prime Minister!! 🇨🇦
Being from New Brunswick, I truly appreciate you both taking the time and talking about the provincial politics here! Great work!
And where did otoole end up? Under Treadue
If poillievre isn’t the leader of the torys, I will vote for PPC.
