Selling more memberships doesn't mean you're going to win. Just because you sold someone a membership doesn't mean that person is going to vote for you.

The survey noted millennials are positive about the economy. I thought that weird until I realised the oldest people in Abacus' millennial subset were 29, and would have been 22 in 2008. The bulk of the 18-29 group has only known recovery/never known the pre-2008 good times depending on your POV.

Poilievre: if re-elected we will enact legislation requiring a referendum to change the electoral system. Of course, it could be defeated from the Senate in opposition...

I just got an invite to "like" Julien Feldman's candidacy for the NDP nomination in NDG-Westmount.  I am told he is quite formidable.

That's disappointing, but the NDP might have an equally strong candidate in Clyde River mayor Jerry Natanine

Harper will go to Rideau Hall next month, perhaps as soon as next week.

Mighty curious to see if Kinsella's right. If true, reminds me of Iggy replacing Davey with Donolo a few years ago.

Latest Ipsos poll has NDP at 34%, Tories at 33%, Liberals at 25%. 

http://globalnews.ca/news/2135999/tories-close-gap-but-ndp-still-leads-poll-as-election-draws-nearer/?hootPostID=06419f9a58d85e7b211359b6b3fcd7c3

The Liberals are running in third in Ontario, which suggests the Tories will dominate the 905, the NDP will win big in the cities and the Liberals will get scraps.

Oh dear! Looks like Leona will get back in because of the vote splitting (Like in 2008)

Leona Aglukkaq (Kitikmeot region)
Hunter Tootoo (Kivalliq/Keewatin region)
Jerry Natanine (Qikiqtaaluk/Baffin region, unofficial)

Kivalliq is second largest region of Nunavut, they will vote Hunter because he is FROM there. Just check election 1997 results...

Will it work against Tootoo that he doesn't speak Inuktitut? Is Nunavut very tribal/regionalist in that sense (your from my area so I will vote for you, regardless of party or positions, etc)

Harper may go to Rideau Hall Sunday, before a rally here in Montreal.

I'd be surprised if Harper could actually get a rally together in Montreal where support for the CPC is almost non-existent...but i guess they can bus in all the Tory staffers from Parliament Hill to fill out the room.

Metro Montreal has 4 million people. I'm sure they can find a few hundrend Tories there to fill a gymnasium.

They will probably round up drunks from the local homeless hostel and promise them beer money if they pretend to be enthusiastic for Harper

Well, this is certainly interesting, in a menacing kind of way

Link for the dissolution confirmation. Longest campaign apart from the two staggered ones.

Harper to start re-election bid by being forced to take 'no' for an answer on Keystone

It's astonishing how long this has taken to finally collapse. This was being debated in the 2006 campaign, no?

Keystone will be dead so long as there's a Dem in the WH.

Radio-Canada firmer than CBC. Says Sunday or Monday.

Only insofar as there's also a Harper at 24 Sussex refusing to give even a patina of environmental consideration to plans for tar sands exploitation.
