I really like Rob Ashton's speaking style, he just needs some actual content. Not sure if Duolingo will be sufficient though.

There's also the hard-to-explain-to-outsiders cultural clash between the Plateau - the highly gentrified bourgeois neighbourhood that is the heartland of Projet - and the rest of the city.

It should be a very basic principle of Canadian foreign policy that big countries don't get to bomb small countries without, at minimum, some kind of UN approval. Whatever you think of Iran, this principle protects Canada too.

Currently the smaller parties are on the left, so a right-leaning Liberal party would lose voters to them, while Conservative support would stay the same. In a multi-party system, the current level of Conservative support gives them government, if the Liberals even a small number of voters.

I spent 4 very stressful years trying to get my infant children safely across the de Maisonneuve bike path to their daycare. Please stop at stop signs, red lights and pedestrian crossings. Thank you.

I remember the night of the de-merger referendum local journalist Henry Aubin pointed out that the divide was between areas with majority home owners and those with renters, more than language or overall affluence. That explains Montreal-Est and some results on the South Shore.

The first party to release is at a disadvantage, because then the others can re-write theirs to steal ideas/target weaknesses. There needs to be a debate commission-style authority to oblige them all to release at the same time.

But there are some ridings - Vancouver Island - where it's the Liberals who are splitting the vote, and the NDP who can defeat the Conservatives.

I get that neither the NDP or Greens are doing well in the polls at the moment, but why are pollsters making the decision about who gets to be a legitimate candidate? Seems undemocratic and untruthful.
