Pierre's party, the Conservative Party of Canada, has a sizable chance of winning our election. Our prime minister up until recently, Justin Trudeau, is not terribly popular with voters, which might push more people to vote left. But since we have first past the post voting, that might help the conservatives win ๐ฅ๏ธ.
The cons have dropped 30 points in polls in recent weeks and now have only a 7 point lead and falling after trump inauguration.
Witnessing trump may have a chilling effect on those who were considering the CPC.
OTOH the historical trend is that when the US votes right, we fall in line and do the same.
Right is one thing.
Fascism is another.
Very true, but are there differences you think are relevant to how Canadians vote in the next federal election?
