Yet another source said the campaign has a "weird fixation" with relatively minor issues, like how the media is reporting Poilievre's rally crowd sizes. This Conservative said this should not be a concern for senior leaders like Byrne, given other issues they are grappling with.
You cannot make this up.
Honestly, I just couldn't find a Canadian news source that had run with a description of the call yet, so I figured I'd go looking for the PMO press release.
The leaders agreed to begin comprehensive negotiations about a new economic and security relationship immediately following the election.

We should never go back
I agree...but at some point, there will have to be normalization. Whatever that new normal ends up being.

On the campaign trail? I can't say that he's been particularly inspiring so far.
The video's pretty light on details on the model, aside from what it's made of, but Memory Alpha has some info on it.
Hence, "for what it's worth."
Polling methodologies are pretty flawed in many ways, but this is what we have to go on right now.
For what it's worth, 338 Canada considers the riding an NDP/Liberal toss-up right now.
I'm not one to tell people whether they should vote strategically, because I have a lot of misgivings about the concept myself.
Just...do your best out there.
Sure, but I think...
Smith was, let's remember, a media pundit in her past career(s) — known to workshop or test-drive different ideas or theories live on air. Rhetorical spaghetti flung on the wall.
...covers that pretty effectively.
I don't think so. It delves a little into "politics as sports," which I never appreciate, but Jason Markusoff isn't prone to carrying water for Smith or the UCP.
He made the comments in January. He apologized on Friday. It's now Sunday, and not a word from the party...
