Bailao will probably find that working for a developer in the private sector more lucrative and rewarding than trying to take on an incumbent Mayor Chow. Three years is a long time in politics.

Interestingly enough, though, her vote share is consistent with polling.

Brad Brad truly is the Connor Roy of this election. Assuming he keeps his 1%.

Matlow has never been in power or managed multi-billion dollar budgets. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t really believe in this Bailao bump. Her campaign has been singularly bland and uninspiring and who’s really paying attention re endorsements?

Sure, that’s what investing is all about. I don’t assume that my investments occur outside regulatory environments and, of course, politics. I also mainly stick to the index. And pay a six figure tax bill annually. The landlord-tenant relationship is governed by provincial legislation. There...

How do you figure? Unaffordable rents are just as bad for “mobility”.

Good to get the disclosures out of the way. I suppose I’m also such an “investor” as I own a rental with two units (in-laws live in one right now) and hold units in several REITs. Immoral theft? Sure, developing and maintaining rental properties can be a productive endeavour, but there’s a...

So? He resigned. A poll testing a hypothetical doesn’t tell you much except that Tory was familiar and the incumbent. His last minute endorsement once again demonstrates that his whole “integrity” schtick was just performative.

They lived in a co-op at Jarvis and Shuter. And were accused of availing of “subsidized housing” by people pushing, oh, your narrative. Of course they actually paid market rent in a co-op. Which is the point. And god forbid they decide to buy a house in their 40s instead. And many/most HKers who...

Well arguably the Conservatives should be able to at least approach the results of the last Ontario election. But to be shut out of Peel? Lose Milton? They should be able to win places like North/West Van (Reform did!).

Eh, I don't think we can extrapolate much. It wouldn't be California, but it would be more "purple" than red or blue. Plus there would be "Redmonton" to address.

I think it's time for her to go. And while Vancouver Island has a natural granola-Green constituency, it also has the uniquely class oriented BC political culture that structures things differently. I'm not surprised that the Greens made no further gains there. In Atlantic Canada, only...

Scheer in particular spend only a couple years in Sask before heading back to Ottawa as an MP (AKA where he grew up, graduated high school, and did most of his post-secondary education). So he's basically been in Ottawa his whole life - I mean, I lived in Edmonton and then Vancouver before the...

Not so organized as that yet... maybe. Didn’t work out for him in 1976.

I’m just... WTF. Who is this intended for??????

There's nothing that specific but I"m sure there will be more policies aimed at targeting "rich doctors".

What general election did BoJo win...? I suppose Charles I is one of your role models.

Uh this is so remarkably out of touch with the local dynamics that I don’t even know where to begin. As far the NB situation, I refer you to this Reddit thread:

If Bernier is trying to make us think he’s really just a joke... it’s working. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-peoples-party-outlines-seats-with-prominent-candidates-in-bid-to/
