The Numbers: Majority means no election soon, right?
Per fixed-date election law, Canadians will go back to the polls on October 15, 2029. Unless...
With the majority now secured, Mark Carney’s Liberals can look ahead to another 3.5 years in office without going back to the polls. That is, of course, if they don’t want to go back to the polls before then.
This week on The Numbers, Eric and Philippe discuss the current polling landscape and the fallout from Monday’s by-elections and what they could mean for the longevity of this Parliament.
We also chat about our experience at the Liberal convention in Montreal and how it contrasted with the NDP convention in Winnipeg (as well as the CAQ convention in Drummondville).
We then break down new provincial polling numbers from Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia and end with another edition of The Quiz.
