Few if any of the pollsters predicted it. The resulting bafflement was expressed by one tweet: “How could polls, from every company, for months including exit polls taken on election day not just be wrong but spectacularly wrong?” It was a massive intelligence failure and one worthy of examination. All political parties presumably pay for accurate polling, even if it shows them losing, because possession of the true facts is the only way to adjust their strategy. But after three failed predictions in three major Anglosphere elections, it may be time to ask how the polls got it wrong.

Scheer also said that he would not allow Huawei — the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world — to participate in the development of Canada’s next-generation 5G wireless network.
Update: and good observations in the comments.
Oh, Shiny Potato!
Amusing, yes — but let’s be fair. This is hardly a scientific survey.
Thus this is where we, the SDA Nation, step in to invoke the scientific method by attempting to replicate the Rebel’s results:
Stay tuned for findings.
Oh, Shiny Prime Minister!
This time it is Stephen Harper’s fault.

As he gears up for the most important political battle of a generation:
In the short time since he has been elected, there has been no shortage of voices saying that Kenney will not be able to get Alberta’s oil and gas to international markets because of the political realities in Vancouver and Montreal and Ottawa and Paris and the UN, etc.
But that’s the current ground, upon which not even the super progressive Rachel Notley could get a pipeline built. What Kenney will do, as he always does, is to shift the terrain.

A Climate Change Poll Goes Horribly Wrong
But first, this message from the poll sponsors;
A large group of Canadian climate scientists, environment advocates, business owners and corporate executives want climate change to be the No. 1 issue for voters this fall, including problems and solutions beyond the federal carbon tax.
A hundred of them signed an open letter to Canadians this week, urging them to understand the impacts of climate change and the solutions each party offers before casting their ballots in October.
Those behind the letter fear important discussions about climate change are being lost in the sea of political rhetoric for or against a national carbon price.
“It’s a national emergency,” said Gavin Pitchford, the CEO of recruiting firm Delta Management and executive director of Clean50.

Alberta Election – Open Thread

Despite the best efforts of the Protectocrat Press, the Creepy Joe Biden memes have finally caught up with him.
Now they’re signalling that it’s “time for you to go, Joe“.

The Libranos: SNC Lavalin
Wait, I thought it was all Scott Brison’s fault.
The usual anonymous sources are now whispering to reporters that the reason Jody Wilson-Raybould was fired as minister of justice and attorney general in January had nothing to do with her refusal to kill the prosecution of a Liberal-friendly firm in a province critical to the party’s election chances, as the prime minister and a phalanx of top officials had pressured her to do. No, according to reports by Canadian Press and CTV, it was because of her pick for a judicial appointment. […]
Several points are worth noting about this obviously deliberate leak. One is the casual violation of the very confidentiality provisions that are supposedly so sacred to Trudeau that he cannot fully release Wilson-Raybould, even today, from their clutches.
The second is the willingness, in the service of undermining the credibility of the former attorney general, to smear not only her — apparently in addition to being “difficult” and “in it for Jody,” she’s a crazed social conservative — but a sitting judge.
Sounds cordial.
Next: HERE COMES DA JUDGE!
