“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

KRUGGEL: Canada Election 2025 Prediction: Liberal Majority Government


It might be too soon to call it but I'm going to call it. Mark Carney's Liberals are going to win a large majority government and I'll peg that number around 190-200 seats.

There is plenty of data to accurately gauge a few things.

First, the Liberals are in control of the narrative of the election campaign. They've seized every issue first with the Conservatives following behind them usually trying to one up them.

Second, the Liberals have all the momentum. While that is something we really cannot quantitatively measure it is something those of us long time followers with some training in political science can recognize. This campaign is barreling towards election day with the Liberals riding it to the finish line.

Third, the polls are showing clear trends that are not changing. The Liberal lead is expanding by fractional amounts every single day. While Manitoba appears to be somewhat in play the rest of the provinces are all but decided.

The Conservatives will sweep Alberta and Saskatchewan -- that's it.

British Columbia, know for its volatile politics and wild swings was trending to the Conservatives just a few months ago with them leading at between 46% and 51%. Today they are behind the Liberals by 5pts.

Consider that the last by-election in BC in December saw the Liberal candidate pull in a mere 16% of the vote. Traditionally, the Conservatives could count on around 20 seats in BC. Today they are looking at 18 which is a low for them.

But the biggest reason the Liberals are sailing to victory is Jagmeet Singh and his mismanagement of the NDP. He has completely boned the NDP for the last 4 years rendering them irrelevant.

The NDP vote went from around 18-21% to 6-8% today. The NDP has fallen by 10 to 15pts. That's a near collapse of the party. They are still projected to get anywhere from zero to 7 seats. Let's just consider the growing possibility that the NDP might be kicked out of Parliament for 4 years. If the trends continue that is almost guaranteed.

Yes, it is increasingly likely that the NDP will have no seats after April 28th.

I do not believe the Conservatives or the NDP will turn this around and I am 100% confident in declaring Mark Carney and the Liberals will win a majority government.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
