Just to understand, if conservatives win more seats than liberals they won the election with a minority government?
From what I read. Liberals have chance in maintaining government. Basically it will be asked if they want Trudeau to remain. If 170 votes yes then he remains a minority government, if he doesn’t get those votes, the Governor General would nominate the party with the plurality as minority government like it happened in 2008. I doubt NDP would vote against Trudeau, since that would mean a minority conservative government.

So that means the chance of Cons winning the election is virtually non existent. That’s good then
Yeah, conservatives seem to have a very different mindset than all of the other parties and there is no way NDP will back them.
The chance of a minority conservative government happening would be something a bit worse than this poll. Where NDP wins way less than liberals lose. For example if liberals only win 130 seats while NDP only wins 39. I doubt Trudeau would remain, without plurality and needing 2 parties for minority government.

I believe the deaths are still low. But the numbers seem slightly higher due to a lot many data corrections by different provinces in the past few weeks / month or so.
How bad is Canada’s 4th COVID-19 wave getting? Here’s a look at the data
Canada is now fully in the grips of a fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which data is suggesting could be more dramatic than past surges of the virus thanks to the highly contagious Delta variant.
Provinces and territories are now reporting more than 3,000 new COVID-19 cases every day — a sharp turn from the plateau earlier this summer.
Friday marked the highest daily increase since May 24 of this year, with 3,755 new infections. The case count outpaced those reported on Wednesday and Thursday, which were also over 3,000. The last time cases were that high for a three-day stretch was the week of May 24.
Over the past week, over 20,000 new cases were reported — a seven-day average of nearly 2,934, the highest since May 31.
It marks a 640-per cent jump from the low of 396 cases per day on average in July, which had not been seen in nearly a year, before the start of the second wave last summer.
The increase is the sharpest from a plateau than at any other point in the pandemic, where past waves have seen more gradual spikes over the same period of time.
As with past waves, hospitalizations have begun to spike again as well. Thursday marked the first time since June that more than 1,000 patients were reported in hospital across the country. As of Friday, that number has climbed to 1,046.
Although the seven-day average sits around 900, that only reflects how sharply hospitalizations are rising. Over the past week, 300 more patients were admitted, adding to the over 700 already receiving care.
About 350 of the patients currently in hospital are in intensive care, according to provincial data.
Deaths have been somewhat harder to quantify, as some provinces — notably Ontario and Quebec — have recently reported fatalities that occurred earlier in the pandemic due to data corrections. But signs are pointing to an uptick similar to past waves.
While an average of about seven people were dying per day during this summer’s plateau, the average has now climbed back into the double digits. Twenty-six new deaths were reported Friday, 17 of them in Ontario alone.

It's kinda stupid to ask people for more than to get vaccinated. I don't know when Canada will understand this simple fact. The rest of the world already did. Covid is a reality, it'll be here for decades and continue to kill old people. We don't have more to do than get vaccinated and go on with our lives. Covid is not the only thing that kills people everyday.

Yeah and as is expected, most of the cases, hospitalizations and deaths are amongst the unvaccinated / partially vaccinated.

Lol. You want JT to lose the elections? Opening to the US was a calculative move. They've got a lot going on between them that might sway the election out of his reach if not handled properly.

I want him to get a minority and it's still not guaranteed that he'd not get a majority.
Not looking good according to the polls but that might change pretty quickly too.

Yeah there's still a long time. We'll have to see how it goes in the week of Sept 7. If he somehow doesn't get a boost from somewhere or something that week, he'll probably end up getting a minority which is good for us.
One month until my CRS drops below OINP lower band and I say good bye. 
Two years have passed.
