What are the main target seats for the NDP, Liberals, Bloc and Greens? (I'm guessing the Tories have largely maxed out their seats.)

Man, Tories are getting obliterated in the Atlantic under your model. Not doing too fine in BC either...

Who is the other in Monitoba? speaker?

Wow, Mulcair is being super condescending to Trudeau.

Justin suddenly coming alive on Canadian federalism.

IMO, nobody really won decisively. Mulcair had a commanding presence, to the extent that whenever he spoke the entire debate everything else stood still; and he seemed to own the moderate ground on pipelines (Mrs may and Mr Harper are both extremists!). However a lot of his stylings, probably picked up by an overzealous debate coach, were condescending as f-ck. that sing-song bit to Trudeau made him sound like a complete douche, and it elaborated a position the NDP are weak on (federalism).

May was armed with a battalion of info and certainly seemed the most "human"; but never rose beyond the status of an outsider looking in. Obviously she is not seeking to become PM, but a lot of the time she seemed vaguely conspiratorial.

Trudeau? Well, he seemed very rattled. Perhaps it's all the "not serious" enough jabs, but his speech was panicked and mile a minute (in strong contrast to the grandfatherly, lackadaisical Mulcair). He was flat-footed on c-51, and often seemed rather petulant in his zingers. (People are disagreeing me here) his best moment was when he channeled his father in regards to federalism.

Harper was obviously being overly defensive. I noticed he has copied the "lets be clear," phrase that Obama loves as well. The guy came across as arrogant and smug, but capable. (No news to the majority of Canadians). However, I don't think he really made a strong case for renewing his mandate.

Wait Greens are higher in Ontario and the Plains than BC, where they only get 4%! That doesn't seem right.

I've gotta say, "strength in democracy" ranks along with "True Finns" and "Party for the Future Generations" as some of the most unbelievably creepy names you can give your party.

I would have thought Wynne putting all her eggs in the Trudeau basket would have hurt the Grits in Ontario...

FF

Also:

“He must be someone who is adept at Stephen Harper’s trickle-down theory of economics,” Mulcair said.

Canada will respond differently to the dog whistles that Crosbie likes to blow than in Britain though.

Quote from: ottermax on September 13, 2015, 02:06:08 PM
Does anyone think there will be a shy Tory effect in Canada? Or maybe a lower NDP turnout than the polls suggest due to unfamiliarity with the party?

I only ask because on my flight to Toronto today the person from London I was talking to didn't even know who Mulcair or the NDP were - which might mean that a significant chunk of the electorate still isn't used to the idea of the NDP as the opposition even after 4 years...

I'm guessing he did know who Justin was?

Glad to see Quebec nationalists living up to their stereotype!

Pretty soon candidates will have to be formed ready-made from test tubes.

It's a very classic thing for Bloc and its provincial counterpart to fall back upon certain dog-whistles. To a certain segment for the Quebec nationalist base, Quebec should be for the Québécois alone.

More Social media dirt being dragged up, this time on a Toronto dipper, disparaging JLaw and Francophones.

Has such a situation ever occurred provincially, where a plurality party is shut out by an alliance of smaller parties?
