- Canada’s sovereignty is explicitly being targeted by the failed state of America. We will need to continue to rip down inter-provincial trade barriers like our country depends on it. We will need to be unified in the fight to maintain Canada as a sovereign democracy, not pitting regions against each other or trying to shoulder a better outcome for one group over another.

- We are at the halfway point in the election, but much could happen in the yin and the yang of the campaign.
- The Liberal leader is leading in all demographic groups except for men aged 35 to 54.
- Pierre Poilievre’s polished daily performances continue to be, primarily, laments for the sorry state of the country, extended complaints about the 'lost Liberal decade,' simplistic policy promises and the occasional tangle with any real journalist who breaks through the daunting line of party enforcers that police every large rally.

- If polls and general chatter are accurate, voters may be ready for more content, less contempt.
