According to virtually all the polling, that choice is between Liberal Mark Carney and Conservative Pierre Poilievre. One wants to bring back fiscal prudence; the other, plastic straws.

Remarkably, the Liberals have held a five-to-seven-point lead in the polls from the beginning of the campaign, which they carry into the last, mad dash to the finish line.

In fact, according to the latest Nanos Research survey, Carney now leads Poilievre by six points. Several other polls, including on 338Canada, CBC/The Writ and Mainstreet Research, project a Liberal majority government of between 178 and 189 seats.

Which part are you skeptical of, I'm assuming the petro Canada part?

It was my comprehension of this:

We have dwinding productivity investment in Canada, as the Bank of Canada always points out in their pressers, and have had for a while now. Much of this is high tax, regulation, and bureacracy; this is being combated by trying to seed private investment using tax dollars, as Freeland has been talking about for a while now.

Just consider yourself when you go to invest, would you invest in the US who is cutting regulation and corporate taxes, or Canada who is worried about indigenous groups and is talking about having corporations pay their fair share? The answer is likely why the US is 62.70% of the global marketcap, and that is what we are trying to entice while not cutting our regulatory burden. This is my take on it anyways, but I'm just some guy.

You need to work on reading comprehension because I asked where you get your information from and considering none of the nonsense you have spewed can be gleamed from the source you presented without a hearty helping of right wing ignorance I can safely assume you aren't worth further time.

Take care.

I said so many disparate things, I'm not regurgitating a blog I read, there is no single source.
