got it a bunch of bomb-throwers and monkey-wrenchers whose entire theory of change amounts to “complain loudly about the status quo / (???) / utopia”.

my usual question applies: do they report "I don't know / I'm not sure / Liberal or NDP?" at all?
Also that 35-49 women category is extremely 👀
I'm still going with "this is a combination of sampling bias and progressive voters 'knowing' that they're 'supposed' to not be rabid partisans".

eugh that's disgusting. Are we talking party contests or real elections?

hey you’ve seen my prior low opinion of the liberal and ndp media teams I’m going to be shocked if they even remember it exists a week from now

I think that’s even more true with polls than voting; the public nature of the response and the vague future-looking nature of the question invite that sort of speculation.

it really feels like the ONLib and ONNDP are stuck on trying to maintain rules of decorum and behavior that Ford has gleefully discarded. While it’s hard to do fundraisers like this without car dealers and landlords and other petty would-be tycoons, they could be doing similar events to pump up the base and coffers. Instead they’re just sitting on the sidelines and occasionally clucking.

In fact we ban “scientific progress” all the time! We ban products containing radioactive compounds; we ban drugs with horrible side effects; we ban vehicles that are unsafe. The whole system of patents is (in theory) about restricting progress so inventors can profit.
