@Martyupnorth Many of them are childless, which I believe is a root cause for much of this.

@WidowHouse @Smil3yAngel @MizJfromtheDot I think it's unfortunate that you view criticism as a desire to fail. To critique, is to improve. There's a reason our system is set up this way. Only recently has this been viewed as treasonous as opposed to loyal.

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 A world class economist and intellectual can't create his own 100% accurate 'future prediction' company? I'm shocked. Lol. You're amazing Kyle. Thank you for the chuckle.

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@1945_1973 @Smileyyeg This is not a serious person we are arguing with.

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 (and please, show your work)

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 Good Lord.

Okay Kyle, please....make that prediction for me.

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 When was the last time a poll called for a CPC majority? A legit poll that is. That would have been MONTHS before the election was called. Maybe prior to Carney even being leader??

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 Okay Kyle, so you think it's possible to use "statistics" to accurately predict Carney's popularity 24 months from now?

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 But it does. Polls called for a Liberal Minority, which is what happened.

Again, polls the year before asked about intentions *at that moment*, not a year in the future. That would be silly.

You're just being obtuse here.

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@1945_1973 @Smileyyeg That's right. Pollsters ask "if an election were held TODAY".....

Not, in six months time who are you likely to vote for.

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 And you disbelieving it without evidence.

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 So they should have predicted that Carney would be Liberal Leader, that Trump would threaten tariffs, that Mike Myers would make a catchy commercial and that Canadians would fall for it, costing PP the election?

High hope, Kyle.

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 Do you expect a polling company to act as some oracle? They can't predict world events and then calibrate accordingly. It's a snapshot in time of sentiment.

I would have thought a world-class intellectual would know this ;)

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@1945_1973 @Smileyyeg Exactly. I wasn't at all surprised with the results, there were just as predicted by most pollsters (sadly)

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Mellyfax @KatKanada_TM @CPC_HQ So we can't talk about the recession, because it's not that big of a deal. And we can't talk about transitioning children without their parents' consent. What can we talk about?

We can't talk about censorship either, so we can't talk about what we can't talk about...

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@Smileyyeg @1945_1973 Are you telling me that on election night, you personally thought that the CPC were going to win a majority? If so, was that based on polling?

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@CanadaMom73 @nationalpost For sure.

The divide with Canadians now isn't so much young and old, rural and urban; it's "those who have stuff and those who don't"

Elbows up Boomers have stuff, and that's all they care about.

[Fake Plastic Tree @esoteric_fix]

@CanadaMom73 @nationalpost Exactly. And that's my point; there are millions of them. Millions.
