[ad_1] Before polls opened on April 28, Mark Carney had already staged a remarkable comeback. In mid-January, the Conservatives held a commanding 27-point lead over the Liberals. But by election night, Carney’s party had surged to 168 seats, just four shy of the 172 needed for a majority. Some projections, including one by EKOS on April 27, had even forecast the Liberals crossing that crucial threshold.In the event, however, they fell four seats short. A late-campaign softening of President Trump’s anti-Canada rhetoric helped narrow Carney’s early advantage and allowed Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives to close the gap to a mere two percentage points in the popular vote.Julie Simmons of the University of Guelph, while speaking to TimesofIndia.com, argues that the fading of outside pressure and Canada’s voting system explain why a once-likely majority didn’t happen.A majority in sightBy the final week […]
