    He’s gotta win a difficult election and unfortunately winning isn’t done on a slate of issues when the electorate is laser focused on a couple. He’s found a good thread on Trump and the economy and he’s hammering those into people’s heads. That’s a good strategy that seems to be working. I wish electoral reform was still a top issue in this race but it doesn’t seem to be and I’m afraid him bringing it up might be counterproductive given the trauma from Trudeau on this file. I hope we can bring this issue to the forefront when a Carney government falls in the need of PR itself. Unlike Trudeau who was ideologically opposed to it, I think there is a decent chance Carney the pragmatist might do a reform to save his ass.

    E: To clarify, Carney’s win is not assured at all. There’s plenty of shit that can go down over the next two weeks which can make this a tossup or even a likely PP.
