The Numbers: Carney's Liberals are up big in Alberta. Is it for real?
Once is happenstance. Two is coincidence. Three is Redmonton.
As the polling gap widens between Mark Carney’s Liberals and Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, a surprising new trend has emerged. In Alberta, three new polls suggest the margin between the two parties has closed significantly.
What is behind this shift in the polls, is it the real deal and what could it mean for the next election? We break it all down on this week’s episode of The Numbers.
We also discuss the results of the Chicoutimi by-election as well as some new provincial polling out of Quebec and Ontario, where Doug Ford has dismissed numbers that show he might be losing a step on his rivals.
