    I’m giving my $200 vote buying cheque to my local hospital for their CT machine campaign. That’s where my tax dollars should have gone in the first place not to trying to buy an election.

    I hope people actually go out and vote this guy out this time.

      I wish… Doesn’t seem likely but I’m hoping for knocking him down to minority government.

      He’s insanely popular, anything less than an absolute majority would be an upset

    I don’t see why he needs a new mandate for the next two years.

    He already has a strong majority, running an election now actually decreases his strength during a key period of the Trump administration.

      I think he’s hoping to capitalize on the current good press and the fear of what Trump will do to make himself look good and get another 4 years (ie gaining 2 more years).
