  2. We need top men. Top Men to insure that these two never wind up in the same room.

    It’s like Ghostbusters “Never cross the streams.” Or CERN accidentally releasing dark matter. Needless to say the concept of an event horizon may be redefined. I’ve long considered the very real possibility of this happening and thought it appropriate to comment on it here. Perhaps this concept will dominate the comments tonight in lieu of the typical nonsense we have all had to endure.

    2. So glad my ancestors departed that miserable island over the three centuries ago. Would have preferred they had picked another colony instead of New Jersey, but at least they had the brains to locate in South Jersey and not North!

    1. Agreed, with a caveat. Those charts are aggregates that includes polls like Ekos. That garbage poll, and there may be others, will skew the results.

      I am optimistic that once the campaign starts (if it ever does), the current trend could reverse itself.

      1. Yes, I am not even looking at the graph, just looking at numbers. When you have too much time, it is fun (in a geeky and nerdy way) to plot each survey over time, one line per survey and compare the trends.

          1. Didn’t we win when JT resigned? Haha
            Cdns vote by proxy for PM
            Trump’s still prez
            Tariffs going up
            Whole lotta shakin to come.

        2. Ekos is garbage best ignored, we all agree, I don’t trust much in Ipsos and Nanos either. The problem is that Abacus, IR and Leger are all showing the gap narrowing and so do other pollsters who poll less frequently to bother with trends. How much of it is just post nomination bounce we will see.

          Meanwhile Dougie is slobbering in his support for Carnage and Trump does his best to mobilize the Molson commercial generation. This isn’t a tragedy yet, but it is much narrower than not long ago.

          1. I don’t believe any polls.
            I have a friend – she’s a lefty but also an independent business owner, quite smart, electrical engineer – extremely arrogant, rude to clerks and cashiers, always right…and therefore on her way to becoming a spinster.
            A few weeks ago she was talking to my girl about buying a weapon…She doesn’t know sweety and me own 6 (4 temporarily prohibited). We’re still laugh.
            Point being people are reacting emotionally, not logically and polls are especially meaningless.
            I read the comments on my MSN feed – I have no idea if they’re people like me – and Carney’s fooled nobody by a ratio of 19-1

        3. Liberals 43.9% in Alberta? Who did they poll? Lawyers?
          If you remove Ekos the CPC still have a majority. Frank Graves is now writing fiction. Did he do the stats for Carney’s coronation Sunday?

        1. Canadians, at this time, are not interested in China. This will not save Pierre in or outside of debate

          2. Insisting on missing the point while agitating for Libranos? Election must be near.

      1. Wishful thinking based on an anecdote makes for a shitty safety blanket.

    3. I always answer polls/surveys as a 25-30 female…college educated….50-70K wage bracket that voted NDP in the past but would vote Liberal in next election. I figure if they want my info for free they get what they pay for. male..no college… Trade work more than 70K for sure……

      1. And just how many people do you think act like you? And why is their proportion appears to be changing?

    4. Orange Tard was definitely a factor, but I’m inclined to think Pierre’s polling was always overrated. By the end of 2024 he had favorability ratings nearly as bad as the other two and had seen them get worse through the year. Getting rid of Trudeau and replacing him with someone so *stylistically* different was smart. New leader = blank canvas to project hope onto.

      1. Ok, I’ll say that maybe, just maybe you are on the right track. Pierre’s popularity was based on an absolute, and total disgust for the Turd, whom you probably support.
        Turd leaves, and look what happens. You may be able to justify PP’s previous popularity (although that would be a stretch), but how can you possibly deny the complete and total unpopularity of the turd?
        I’d like to see how you pull that rabbit out of the hat.

    1. in the 1970s educated Iranians thought the Ayatollah was going to free them. Stupid asses or what? At that time there were lots of bangable Iranian chicks wandering around in the West.

      1. Those girls were legendary at their time. Iran’s best export. Even the generation of their daughters (X) have been very adventurous and made friends easily.

    1. Moonlight Shadow, originally sung by Maggie Riley, from Mike Oldfield’s album “Crises,” covered in German.
      That song made a substantial impact on my life when it first came out. I nearly forgot all about that until your post.

    1. Greedy fellow is making six figures to promote racism but he sees other DEI types making even more.

    2. The only reason Carney appeared remotely competent as the Governor of the Bank of Canada was due to the work of Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. His incompetence was exposed when he took over Governor of the Bank of England.

      1. Flaherty was a total disaster and at the time the worst FM since Trudeau. All he ever did was increase spending.

        1. History disagrees with you, UnReal, and when was Trudeau a finance minister? Pierre or Justin. Take your pick. NEITHER served as finance minister.

          You really are living in your own universe, aren’t you, Unreal?

          1. I meant that in terms of ‘era’ as in ‘the worst since the Trudeau era’. And no history is quite clear that I am right. Flaherty sucked.

    2. For me 12 gauge is what’s not to like for me. I don’t understand manufacturer insistence on 12 gauge for tactical applications. 12 gauge is for hunting and breaching. 20 gauge kicks less, makes it easier to take repeated shots and leaves about the same impression on the ventilated target. A single, standard length and load, 20 gauge shell, carries about as much energy as two 44 mag rounds (speaking from memory). If one needs more they should fight with a spear.

      1. Point taken.
        But I believe if I’m using whatever gauge on an enemy/intruder, they’re probably a spear-chucker.

        1. Valid observation. In Canadian reality I have long been a fan of revolver caliber lever action carbines. They’re easy to shoot, fun, reliable*, you can get them nowadays with rails and easy mounts for red dots (sacrilegious but it works) and they’re inconspicuous enough not to present themselves as evil black guns. Also when used indoors without ear protection (accidentally) they are less damaging to hearing than riffle rounds and shogun shells. A 357mag or a 44mag or a 45 Long Colt from a 16 or 18 inch barrel arrives with authority.

          *apart for the detachable mag abominations.

      1. Only thing missing is the maple leaf on the front of the car they’re driving over the cliff.

      1. I’m pretty sure you’re a communist operative working hard to spread Mao’s cultural Revolution in the West. Yeah … THAT needs to be cancelled.

          2. Speaking of Xi and UnMe… have you noticed how UnMe always sides with Chicoms…

    1. No problem. Simply allow unmen like you perform his service duty for the LGBTQueers latest boy club, or something …

      Psssst … the military doesn’t want you.

    2. Political right?

      He doesn’t sound like he’s on the political right at all.

      He sounds like he stands with our radical left government.

    3. So your Asian masters activated you again to agitate for Libranos? Like they do every election. Oh well, at least we got a clear proof they think an election must be near.
