I've never voted liberal, never liked chretien when I was young. Voted cons to give them a minority back in the day, saw what they did and said never fucking again. And have voted other parties since. But god damn, I'm going to vote for mark Carney.

Not that my 86% conservative voting region will give a fuck.

Based on Carney’s speech, he’s aiming to take votes from both the NDP and the conservatives.

Sadly, I do not think he will pull many conservatives. All he needs to do though is hold them to the 30% of wing it’s who love the blue and to pull enough NDP votes to win.

There’s loads of voters who go from conservative to liberal and vice versa - case in point - look at Ontario. Goes conservative provincially, now almost guaranteed to go liberal federally.

Clearly.

However, look at the polls before and after the recent swing in Liberal fortunes. There is little movement in the conservatives. It mostly a shift to Liberal from NDP.

So the Liberals have gotten back people protesting the Liberals, not people the genuinely like the Conservatives.
