Back in 2019 the combined CPC/PPC polled at 33-35, now they poll at a combined 35-40. The election matched the polling with CPC taking some PPC strategic voters.
I understand it’s very difficult for O’Toole to thread this needle, but if conservatives of all stripes can’t see the opportunity in this numbers they might not be politically literate.
Doesn't matter in a FPTP system. If the CPC gets 30% nationwide and the PPC 10%, then say hello to a Trudeau majority government again.
Last time CPC probably got about half of the PPC vote on election night from strategic voting.
I doubt the left elements of PPC support will migrate back to the socialists on election night, but many more of the conservative elements will likely strategic vote at the booth.
Shifting left wing votes to the right matters.
The PPC wants to reduce immigration which will solve all the problems the left is concerned with
Environment and climate goals? Nothing can beat a population that is naturally shrinking. Every other party wants a population of 100 million before the end of the century. How the fuck can you meet emission cutting goals while growing the population three-fold? Personally, I'm more concerned with keeping our backyard clean than CO2 hysteria, but either way immigration needs to be drastically reduced.
Suppressed wages? Sky-high housing prices? All fixed by cutting immigration
Woman rights? Egalitarianism? Nothing has been worse in recent times than importing a bunch of backwards thinking people and then boosting them to leadership roles with affirmative action
I actually wish the PPC would lean in left a bit more on issues like environment, housing, and labour. I think they could pick up a lot more voters and would lose a lot of criticisms.
I heard a comment on one of the podcasts I was listening to so I really can't confirm any of this, but the speaker was saying that the Chinese community is moving their votes to PPC because they fear what is happening in Canada and the PPC is the only ones pushing back on all this.
Guess we'll see how true that is on election night.
the older chinese voters who remember communism are going for CPC or PPC. the younger generation I'm not sure of.
