    EKOS is the only polling group showing momentum for the Liberals, and I’m really scratching my head over why that might be. They don’t traditionally have an overwhelming bias like this. They also are showing an exceptionally clear, almost linear rise in the polls from the point of Trudeau’s resignation, while no one else is showing any kind of pattern other than “dismal holding pattern”.

    I want to believe that EKOS knows something that nobody else does, but because of that I need to guard myself from getting excited.

      Maybe the polling companies have realised that in the post-truth world, narrative is where the money’s at? If it works for Mainstreet and the Conservatives, who cares anymore? Find a base to play to, tell em what they want to hear, make that money.

      Skeptical because it’s EKOS again but girl do I wish it true…

      Can you imagine the meltdown at CPC central if they lose following a 25 point lead?

        Historically, it would signal the removal of PP from party leader and the CONS can search around for yet another SOCON that’s unpalatable by the citizenry.

          I hate playing the con leader slot machine. I wish cons could keep a weak leader over many years like the other parties do. I’d be much happier with Scheer still leading them. 😂
