Speaking of Sun Forum polls, latest one claims Wynne's gonna be Campbelled. Like you, Adam, I have trouble taking Forum seriously.

Star hints again that Wynne could resign this summer given the Mulroney 1993 situation on her hands. Grit MPPs swarming exits, bad fundraising & internals showing them a distant 3rd.

Albertan merger talks heating up, agreement might even happen this weekend, but plenty of moving parts. Rempel is considering challenging Nenshi for the Calgary mayoralty.

If he means people in high-profile ministerial/critic roles during the Martin government or Harper's first term.

Mid-mandate housecleaning inbound.

On this province: count me extremely skeptical CAQ surge will hold. Happens every 5 years: ADQ 2002/7, CAQ 2011 & now. PQ missed their chance a decade ago (as Josee Legault, Michel David & others have said then & now) to nip these problems in the bud, like Unionists did with BP & RIN. Too late now. So they're stuck in a weird purgatory where QS is an erosion which can't be squashed but not a fatal one a la 1970.

How exactly did Union Nationale squash BP & RIN?

To simplify a bit, co-opted their issues in a diluted form then steamrollered them. BP fell apart pretty quickly once the war ended. RIN was different: Johnson and Bourgault negotiated an electoral pact whose effect was bleeding Grits in suburbia both on & off-island, allowing UN to come up the middle there. Especially younger lefty nationalists/separatists who couldn't stomach voting for conservatives. Johnson's death (per Black, Johnson saw '66 as '44 & '70 as '48) ended the prospect of Phase 2. The pact was 1) consolidate behind UN candidate in 12 swing ridings while leaving poteau on ballot 2) no-comp in leader ridings 3) concentrate their combined energy on Grits. Pretty much what Lisée would want now.

I agree with Bélanger that GND's arrival ends what little prospect there was for NPDQ. Léger poll showing a potential QS-ON alliance at 18% & increasing regional strength should start worrying the PQ IMO.

Caroline Mulroney is considering running for Parliament, presumably in the 905.

Mainstreet-QC: 33/27/22/18. Grits lead here on the island with PQ/QS tied at 19%, CAQ leads in Quebec City, 3-way race elsewhere. We'll see how long GND-manie lasts.

Yes, QS originates from PQ's fiscal hawkishness under Bouchard and to a lesser extent, Marois - "déficit zéro" as it's known here. Just one of their major structural weaknesses.

Leger confirms Mainstreet: 31/28/22/15.

No summer shuffle. Though IMO we'll still have a fall prorogation.

They're polling around 25%, so no. Or she can ask David Peterson and Pauline Marois for advice.

Bipartisanship or holding pattern?

Grit backbenchers want Justin to guarantee their nominations.
