MODERATORS
 

Approximately a month ago, following Freeland’s dramatic exit from the Liberal cabinet, the Conservatives opened up a seemingly insurmountable lead of 25 points. Since then, the entire complexion of what appeared to be an inevitable Conservative majority has changed. This massive lead has virtually evaporated over a one-month period.

Apparently putting all your eggs into the "Fuck Trudeau" basket fails when Trudeau is no longer your opponent.

There’s definitely some “Biden said he’s not running again” energy in Canada right now. The Conservatives had a single page in their playbook and it’s just been made obsolete.

That didn't work out for the US as much as a lot of people expected it to. Stay vigilant.

It did until Harris' campaign managers told her that calling Republicans "weird" might hurt some of their older donors' feelings, so she basically stopped going on the offensive at all. They were on a roll, then decided to "play it safe" and lost the interest of people who are tired of the party being for nothing but corporate interests.

Give people a reason to stay invested.

At least Trudeau resigned early enough. There was a spike in "did Joe Biden drop out" on election day in the US.
