In a recent interview with far-right U.S. media site Breitbart, Smith handed Carney a gift-wrapped sledgehammer in the form of an admission that Pierre Poilievre would be "in sync" with Trump.
Since we’re in the doldrums between elections I don’t imagine a whole lot of polling is being done right now, so no idea when that will update. But even with the numbers as they are, it’s really not bad - NDP got 44% last election so 41% is still in the same ballpark, and the NDP has a new leader that obviously hasn’t done any campaigning. He’s a former mayor of Calgary and Calgary’s the battleground that the election hinged on last time around.
Yeah, I’m skeptical about those numbers. They’re from February 9, and that’s about when Trump’s 51st-state bullshit first started making headlines. Nobody would have known what Smith’s reaction would be yet.
