    Orange Crush or Orange Crushed?

    In one corner, we have a Liberal slump and an NDP surge. In the other corner, we have Liberal dominance and a listless NDP. In both corners, the Conservatives are stuck. But what’s really going on? This week on The Numbers, we try to make some sense of the latest polls that don’t seem to agree on what’s going on with either Mark Carney’s Liberals or Avi Lewis’s New Democrats. We also break down the results of the B.C. Conservative leadership race and what it means for the province going forward. Then, Philippe has a Quiz. Looking for even more of The Numbers?

    Buy or Sell: Quebec Election Edition

    Quebec's election is looking like a tough one to predict. But, we're going to try to anyway. In this subscribers-only episode, we play a game of Buy or Sell with a focus on the upcoming Quebec provincial election. Based on where the polls and projections put the parties do we think they're over- or under-valued? Will the Parti Québécois hold its narrow lead? Can the CAQ comeback continue? And will the Quebec Liberals finally breakthrough among francophones? We set our expectations with four months to go before voting day. Thanks for your support!

    Will Alberta's referendum pit Conservatives vs. Conservatives?

    Premier Danielle Smith has added a question on Alberta separation to the October 19 referendum ballot, a move that will have repercussions for the country and the province. But is it primarily a debate being held amongst the supporters of her own party? This week on The Numbers, we discuss what the polls suggest could be the motivations behind Smith’s referendum push, as well as what it could mean for the future of the United Conservative Party — and Pierre Poilievre’s federal Conservatives, too. We also chat about the latest federal polls and what they say about support for the Liberals after what looked like a dip last week. Then, we break down new polls out of Ontario and Nova Scotia and briefly chat about this weekend’s B.C. Conservative leadership race. Finally, Philippe has a few trivia questions about past referendums in Canada. Looking for even more of The Numbers?

    The Numbers Mailbag #31

    In this members-only mailbag episode of The Numbers, we answer questions from our Patreon members including on whether Mark Carney's pipeline push could push environmental voters out of his coalition, if a Montreal Canadiens victory could help boost one party or another ahead of Quebec's election and why pollsters tend to avoid publishing their own seat projections.

    Carney, Poilievre and Lewis. Buy or sell?

    Mark Carney’s Liberals continue to hold their lead in the polls over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, while Avi Lewis and the New Democrats have yet to breakthrough. As the summer slowly approaches, we look ahead into our crystal balls at where the polls might stand later in the year with a game of Buy or Sell — are any of the parties and their leaders over-priced in the polls compared to where they’ll be in three months, or are there bargains to be had? This week on The Numbers, we set our expectations for the coming months as we return to a game we last played in September. We also dissect the latest federal polling numbers and take a look at what could be a CAQ comeback in Quebec. Looking for even more of The Numbers?

    Is Smith playing with matches in Alberta's referendum powder keg?

    This week’s court ruling on the Alberta separation petition has only raised more questions about whether the province will be holding a referendum on independence this fall. Whatever next steps Premier Danielle Smith takes will come with a great degree of risk — for her party, for the province and for Canada. This week on The Numbers, we discuss some new polling numbers out of Alberta and what they say about the path forward for the UCP government. We also chat about Ontario Liberal leadership hopeful Nate Erskine-Smith’s nomination defeat in Scarborough Southwest and recent polls that show Doug Ford’s Ontario PCs losing support. Plus, we have new federal and Quebec polling numbers to dissect before closing with a byelection-themed Quiz. Looking for even more of The Numbers?

    Carney's got the boomers — and the youths, too?

    Mark Carney’s Liberals are still holding a lead in the polls over Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives, thanks in large part to their increased support among older Canadians. But are the Liberals also out-polling the Conservatives among younger voters? And, if so, what does that mean for the New Democrats and their new leader, Avi Lewis? This week on The Numbers, we take a dive into some of the latest federal polls. We also break down new fundraising numbers and discuss the ongoing Conservative leadership race (and provincial voting intentions) in British Columbia. We then close with a prime ministerial Quiz.
