Federal Election

In a recent turn of events, the liberals have pulled ahead of the conservatives federally. The are ahead of the conservatives for the first time since 2021. The journey for re-election has just started, and there may be more twists and turns.

Thoughts on the election;

  1. Ontario provincial party and federal party are typically opposite parties (Conservatives and Liberals). Usually not the same party in power federally and provincially.
  2. Do Pierre and Trump share similar Conservative attributes?
  3. Mark Carney is also running for leadership of Liberal party. He recently moved his business concerns to the United States. Source
  4. The Conservative Member of Parliament who won the Oxford riding is Arpan Khanna (recent by-election). Who was under investigation by CSIS and is a parachute candidate in the Oxford riding.
  5. The Liberal Candidate in Oxford is David Hilderley.
