MORGAN: Canada's election is in Trump's hands
If nothing else, President Trump taught Canadian Conservatives there is no such thing as a forgone conclusion. Only a few short months ago, the Liberals appeared to be in an impossible spot as they languished at the bottom of the polls. Even with the replacement of Trudeau, nobody thought the...
The Liberal lead isn’t a solid one. When the polls swing wildly in one direction, they can swing the other way just as quickly. The electorate is volatile and their support remains fluid.
The Liberals don’t feel terribly secure with their lead and it shows with their recent actions. Having staffers try to disrupt and create a scandal at a Conservative event looked pathetic and weak yet that’s exactly what the Liberals tried. The abortion card has been played as well. The Liberals traditionally save that issue for the final week of a campaign.
The Liberals aren’t acting like a party confident it will win.
Totally agree with this take, which would mean polls are as wrong here as the were in November for Kamala. Yes, every boomer is going to vote, and vote Liberal. But the rest of the electorate is undersampled, and the wildcard is zoomer turnout.If polls continue to show softening support for the Liberals, rest assured they won’t wait any longer for Trump to stir the pot. They will pull a stunt to try and strategically provoke him. It's usually not tough to get a reaction from Trump.
How Trump acts in the next couple of weeks whether provoked or not will likely determine Canada's election outcome.
