You might have missed it but the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave an emphatic 'no' to the question of whether he'd fulfill a promise to replace our first past the post electoral system with proportional representation. So what does he want instead? Pollster Nik Nanos and CTVNews.ca's Michael Stittle discuss.
Then, Nik and Michael break down the Conservative leadership race. Pierre Poilievre may be the frontrunner, but Nik thinks that Leslyn Lewis' support shouldn't be discounted. Nik also makes a prediction on what will happen on the day after the race decided — no matter who wins.
Finally, the tale of two provinces — the leadership of Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford has been a study in contrasts that Nik thinks the federal Conservative Party should pay close attention to.
Also in this episode, the latest numbers from Alberta between the NDP and the UCP in the province.

I’ll ask again who tf voted for a coalition?
you’ll know when the next election comes.
just over half of the ndp!!
In Canada citizens vote for the perso in the their riding. We don’t vote for a prime minister.
Limits on 2 terms would be a great start for many reasons.
Obviously not for the party right?
@ryan radcliffe honestly this goes for all of them. No party loyalties here, although this clown needs to go asap.
@Derrick it would have to be for individuals in the party and not the party itself
@ryan radcliffe exactly, two terms and vote.
Term limits. That would prevent the likes of Trudeau from further harming Canadians.
Famous last words! Canada can’t wait to vote this incompetent PM out.
Elected 3 time lmao
Toronto , Atlantic.
Amen
Lol. You’re living in a right-wing bubble.
Shocker JT u-turns again …… I can’t believe we’ve had 7 years of this muppet
Hope so, it ends this corrupt deal between Trudeau and NDP
We need better seat allocation across the country. You can’t have 3 cities deciding for the whole country.
Term limits across the board and restriction of lobbying from former seated politicians.
The only under represented area would be the Yukon
@Sacreligious74 population size is the only way to determine representation and it would make no sense to do it based on land mass
@ryan radcliffe then you have 3 largest cities deciding what is best for rural citizens that grow your food, supply your energy and deciding things that city folk don’t understand. The gun debate is a big one. I have always been a liberal that supported gun rights with hoops to jump through to acquire one. It’s issues like that and the fossil fuel debate.
What affects do you think will happen to our agriculture sector when you increase fuel by double? It’s easy for city folk to say “take transit” “buy electric” when that is not feasible in rural Canada. Which is MOST of our country. Then on the gun debate, the city say “no one needs guns” and rural citizens use them for protection from wildlife protect crops and cattle.
That’s where the disconnect from urban and rural living is.
@Sacreligious74 those rural mp are voted in by rural canadians and those mps have to fight for them in the house
@Sacreligious74 and most of the issues you talk about can be taken on at a provincial level
nik nanos was the liberal choice for a polling company!!
I agree that ranked ballots should be implemented…AND proportional representation
Is it not one or the other ? you can’t have both ?
@Henry lhd2 Sure you can.
For individual positions like mayor in towns and cities, have individual candidates fight via ranked ballots. But for national government legislatures like parliament, use proportional representation
@Pandastical ok, I misunderstood. Thought you meant both procedures for the same vote.
It’s adorable that you think Jagmeet would stand up to Justin who he so obediently serves
You’re basing this on?!?!?
@ransom182 Haven’t you seen the colour of his nose?
This guy never wants to leave, be wary of any type of electoral “reform” whatever the f that means.
Election reform would be devastating for the liberals which is why they wont do it . Popular vote should form government and all the votes are counted out and based on a percentage the seat count is determined. You would see party’s like the Greens and the PPC have more seats in parliament and it wouldn’t matter if you lived in a liberal or conservative riding, your vote would actually count.
Cansda didn’t vote gor Ndp liberal regime!!!!!
I simply can’t believe Nik when he says the JT image has not been significantly damaged.
See how the ontario election played out??? The Liberal government is barely in existence 🤣
Justin Trudeau ” No I don’t believe in proportional representation … ”
So Justin Trudeau said he doesn’t believe in Proportional Representation .
The 2015 Liberal Campaign platform says “We will make every vote count ”
…
” We will convene an all-party Parliamentary committee to review a wide variety
of reforms, such as ranked ballots, proportional representation, mandatory
voting, and online voting. ”
Wonder if Canadians are getting angry about being lied to ?
.
New Conservatives will leave after a new leader is picked?? Don’t think so Nik. I’d say most paid 15$ to join out of hatred for Trudeau, not love for Conservatives. Most would vote for a Baboon before Trudeau. Don’t hold your breath on that one.
term limits need to be in place for the safety of all Canadians.. JT is a clown, expect a circus
Trudeau needs to go before he finds a way to stay.
This alliance needs to crumble
