According to virtually all the polling, that choice is between Liberal Mark Carney and Conservative Pierre Poilievre. One wants to bring back fiscal prudence; the other, plastic straws.

Remarkably, the Liberals have held a five-to-seven-point lead in the polls from the beginning of the campaign, which they carry into the last, mad dash to the finish line.

In fact, according to the latest Nanos Research survey, Carney now leads Poilievre by six points. Several other polls, including on 338Canada, CBC/The Writ and Mainstreet Research, project a Liberal majority government of between 178 and 189 seats.

    Pierres plan on the economy seems to be to reduce regulation, like C69 and create pre-permitted pathlines for pipelines, which would make it so that more private investment would happen. While Carney wants to fund infrastructure, splitting the budget into consumption versus infrastructure spending, and having Canada own the assets like Trudeau Seniors original vision with Petro Canada. So is it starving the beast, but on the left, in order to get more government ownership rather than less?

    Thats how I’m seeing things anyways, though the cons have yet to even release a costed platform. Its also been a decade of stagnant per capita GDP, skyrocketing home prices, and now rising food bank usage, was that all part of this plan as well or was Trudeau just economically challenged?

    Also how much do the same MP’s have as far as power, is Carney controlling every puppet string now in a dictatorial fashion, and why did he let abject failures like Sean Fraser, whose policies he publically denounced as destroying the poors standard of living, back into the party?

      It’s funny how Pierre and his voters criticize liberal plans without providing their own, and use speculation as to what PP will do cause he don’t actually have a plan

        No you misunderstand, I want him to act like a dictator, since his entire cabinet has been the worst thing to happen to Canada the last 10 years. As I said Carney basically crapped on their performance himself, in a more or less polite way.

      Care to share what information has informed any of this? You seem to know more than everyone else and I would like to know where the fountain of information you use is.

        Which part are you skeptical of, I’m assuming the petro Canada part?

        It was my comprehension of this:

        https://liberal.ca/cstrong/costing/

        We have dwinding productivity investment in Canada, as the Bank of Canada always points out in their pressers, and have had for a while now. Much of this is high tax, regulation, and bureacracy; this is being combated by trying to seed private investment using tax dollars, as Freeland has been talking about for a while now.

        Just consider yourself when you go to invest, would you invest in the US who is cutting regulation and corporate taxes, or Canada who is worried about indigenous groups and is talking about having corporations pay their fair share? The answer is likely why the US is 62.70% of the global marketcap, and that is what we are trying to entice while not cutting our regulatory burden. This is my take on it anyways, but I’m just some guy.

          You need to work on reading comprehension because I asked where you get your information from and considering none of the nonsense you have spewed can be gleamed from the source you presented without a hearty helping of right wing ignorance I can safely assume you aren’t worth further time.

          Take care.
