I agree 100%. It's actually unbelievable how many opportunities there were. Even though it was an incumbent government, there were so many softballs. | ||

Real Median After Tax Income Rose by 3.3% from 2016 and 2017 ... and based on the preliminary #s out there it appears there was another similar jump from 2017 to 2018. Also, just based on "feel" , in southern Ontario at least things are still rockin' in 2019 like they have been the past 2 years. When the economy is rockin' this good the incumbent usually wins... usually they win big. Trudeau expressed this success another way ... by stating the # of children no longer living in poverty. I think it was 900,000 Canadians over all and 300,000 children. If Trump's tenure includes an annual Real Median After Tax Income increase of 3.3% or better each year ... the 2020 election will be a repeat of Reagan's 1984 sweep. In conclusion, I'm not surprised Trudeau skated past several foibles....the economy is rockin' | ||

I have to admit I'm smiling a bit at seeing Bernier fail miserably at fomenting some kind of far-right movement. The Bloc's had a very solid showing, while the NDP hasn't seen their late Singh popularity surge translate into seats. Mad Max is losing to a Conservative hahah | ||

Confirmed the Conservatives have taken Bernier's seat. While the CBC hosts are being neutral I'd bet there's some satisfaction in reporting the guy who wanted them defunded is reduced like this. | ||

I heard a CBC reporter say the NDP's results were actually below Mulcair in 2015. | ||

Both the NDP and Greens were off compared to their polling. The NDP are down a bit, the Greens are down a lot.

It is technically, but given a month ago the NDP were on track to only get about 10-14 seats, and things had been looking that way for a long time, they've done okay to mitigate damage by nearly matching their past result. They did get wiped out in Quebec though by the looks of things. The Bloc took nearly all their seats. | ||

Kicking out Mulcair was one of the worst decision in canadian politics, the guy did the second best score in the history of the party. | ||

I say things are better than the #s indicate because the underground economy is a lot bigger due to the minimum wage skyrocketing and increased labour regs. If Ontario had the equivalent of the 1981 minimum wage of $2.65/hour today it would be $7/hour. The Ontario minimum wage is $14. The CRA is well aware of the booming underground economy and going to interesting lengths to get people to pay their taxes. | ||

Lisa Raitt was being pointed to as a potential leader to replace Scheer so this seems pretty big. She's being interviewed by CBC right now and in the span of this 1 minute interview she's shown more personality than Scheer has in the entire election campaign. | ||
