So the (likely high) "undecided" percentage is . . . Oh, wait . . .
Plus, we're not in the run-up to an election right now. There's plenty of time for Polievre to shoot himself in the foot before it starts to matter. Or for Trudeau to do something that garners him a lot of positive press, although that seems less likely.
(To put it another way, this is fearmongering. Vote when the time comes, but don't pay too much attention otherwise.)
Voter suppression like with the last Ontario election. News media is in on it. Fuck I wish we had proportional representation. We have a clear majority of parties that represent the majority of Canadians and aren't Conservative fuck wits.
I hate our electoral system as much as the next person, but as an Ontarian I can tell you that our low participation was entirely our own doing.
I'm definitely mad that DoFo won a majority with a minority of the votes, but with something like 40% turnout I mainly put the blame at the feet of the apathetic losers who didn't show up. Young people especially, out of my close friend group of 10 people there were 2 of us (including myself) who voted.
Voter suppression is why the turnout was so low. For WEEKS prior to the election, all you saw in newspapers, TV, and internet was how dominating DoFo's lead was.
All Polievre has done is shoot himself in the foot
His shoes are de facto crocs already and somehow enough people still think he's able to stand for them.
