....of course with context
The context is another restaurant closes on Queen St W. I could name a dozen or more restaurants/bars on that strip that have shut their doors within 3-5 years of opening from US conglomerate Carls' Jr, to a really good Argentinian restaurant to my local watering hole at the time (and then the one after that).
I find it very difficult to believe a viable business would be close it's doors based on a couple of trolls, likewise a landlord isn't going to allow a tenant to walk out on a lease because of hurt feelings.

A week to go before the election. A few weeks back in what might have been a bit of madness on my part after an in depth chat with some Torontorians I put $50.00 on the conservatives to get the most seats in the election. After placing the wager I looked at the polls and when translating the polls to seats it looked like that was a really good way to flush $50.00 down the drain...since then though the picture seems to be changing and I might just get away with it.
Now with early voting open I'm guessing there probably isn't going to be anymore make-up or student bombshells..still I hope that there is a nice 5 or so percent liberal polling bias to make the pick work out.

What was the feeling on the ground?
My sense in the suburban Toronto/401 corridor swing ridings is that while there will be a swing away from Liberal but they hardly seem to be lining up with baseball bats to give it to Trudeau.
Those observations and the national polls mean nothing when it comes to how much the BQ will win in Quebec, the pipeline seats in the prairies and the 10-20 ridings where there is a strong third party candidate.

@rotated A couple in their 60's, small business owners. Seething at the cult of Trudeau and see him as an international embarrassment. Obviously their thoughts are still within their own social bubble but coupled with recent election results around the world its got me thinking that the time might be up for some of these popes of woke, might not be baseball bat worthy but enough to put off some traditional liberal folk from showing up on voting day.

The stay at home element is a big one. I've spoken with a fair few 60+ year olds (mostly immigrants, or parents immigrated immediately post-war) who openly will say they basically voted Liberal last time in the hopes of a fourth Pierre Trudeau term and are now somewhere between disappointed and embarrassed but would never vote conservative or NDP in their life... they stay home IMO.

Today’s the day for the canucks , will they ditch this ridiculous cuck or carry on with Fidel’s boy?
There isn’t really a whole lot of choice to be fair. Scheer has a resume that makes Ardern’s time in the fish and chip shop look like extensive private sector experience.
Polls have tightened somewhat, but all political arithmetic says a first term PM who won in a landslide and hasn’t done anything egregious to his base will outperform the polls and be returned with a reduced margin.

You are of course right...but damn imagine what Mr Trudeau would be saying had a conservative been busted with even one of these photos, let alone multiple!
Will be following it closely tomorrow, seems to have firmed up slightly for the Liberal party in the late polls.

In the Canadian psyche Scheer being unveiled as a closet yank probably was worse!

Hoping for a polling bias. Way more exciting than horse racing.

The minstrel is out to an early lead
Polls pretty close to the mark so far. Only surprises are greens may have taken 2 districts from the Libs and the Libs taken one from the conservatives. Safer conservative seats won't be in until later in the day Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Alberta which will even things up a bit.
