EDay -27: No party leader likes to ditch a candidate. It’s embarrassing. But when a crisis hits, you have to game it out to its inevitable conclusion. The Paul Chiang thing was bad — and a missed opportunity for the leader to demonstrate leadership #CanadaElection2025 #cdnpoli

EDay -21: The deadline has just passed to register as a candidate in #CanadaElection2025. If this election is like others, this deadline will be a starter pistol for “oppo” - leaking criminal records or extremist musings to try to wipe an opponent off the ballot. #cdnpoli

EDay -20: Crowds. A lot of effort is put into putting in a good show at rallies. But how much does crowd size matter? #CanadaElection2025 #cdnpoli

EDay -7: GOTV. With one week to go before #CanadaElection2025, campaigns are now shifting aggressively into Get Out The Vote mode. After weeks touring, talking about issues & identifying supporters, they’re now unleashing armies to actually get those supporters to vote. #cdnpoli

EDay -6: High Engagement. 2 things stand out this weekend: high use of advance polls, & huge viewership for the #CanadaElection2025 debates. The latter suggests a high # of undecided voters. Whatever the leaders set out to do, they had a big audience ready to be swayed #cdnpoli

Canada has a diminishing window to seize the frozen Russian assets denominated in CAD & remit them to #Ukraine for defence and reconstruction. Honoured to be a co-signatory alongside such an august international group, incl. 4 former PMs nationalpost.com/opinion/opinio… #MakeRussiaPay

EDay -3: Heading into the final weekend of #CanadaElection2025, pay attention to where the party leaders go. They have reams of local polling data telling them where they need to spend their time. Playing defence in held-ridings, or venturing boldly onto opponents’ turf #cdnpoli

Mark Carney’s Cabinet shuffle worked hard to demonstrate two competing interests: demonstrating change, & preserving the best experience he has to work with. From size & structure, to who holds which job, it’s a delicate balancing act between “new” and corporate memory #cdnpoli
