What are the odds that this will ever come out? Or that elections Canada will pursue this?
Canadian Federal Election Outcome October 20th (or 27th?), 2025.

As Trump’s trade war with Canada fades into the background, there is spiking interest on affordability and the economy — the two issues on which the Liberals have traditionally polled quite poorly.
“For all those banging on about Canadian election being all about Trump, that’s not what numbers show,” wrote Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, in a series of Sunday social media posts.
What will the Libs do about that?

The current numbers still heavily favour some kind of Liberal victory, but a series of new polls show a noticeable trend towards the Tories
I have a gut feeling a "bomb" will be dropped on the Carney campaign soon enough by an American source.As Trump’s trade war with Canada fades into the background, there is spiking interest on affordability and the economy — the two issues on which the Liberals have traditionally polled quite poorly.

Let’s hope not because anytime something comes from America, Carney’s poll numbers jump up. That’s the ONLY reason he’s not a footnote at this point is America and Trump.
Meanwhile, as Trump’s trade war with Canada fades into the background, there is spiking interest on affordability and the economy — the two issues on which the Liberals have traditionally polled quite poorly, etc…you know, actual Canadian centric issues.
LILLEY: Carney campaign's prayers answered with latest 51st state comments — Toronto Sun
Trump's press secretary puts idea of annexing Canada back on election agenda during White House media briefing
Prompted by the CBC? How curious from that impartial news outlet. Directed from the CBC at Trumps mouthpiece “What’s Her Pickle” and voilà!!
Trump has been quiet about Canada of late with no late-night or early morning outbursts on Truth Social, no rantings while holding court with reporters in the Oval Office.
While the words didn’t come out of Trump’s mouth, all of that changed during a press briefing Tuesday at the White House.
“President Trump’s tone when it comes to Canada-U.S. relations, Canadians have noticed it’s shifted a bit in the past few weeks ever since the election campaign started. He’s stopped talking about Canada becoming the 51st state, at least publicly. I’m wondering if that is on purpose and why?” CBC reporter Katie Simpson asked Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
The answer was what everyone working on the Carney campaign in the Liberal war room was praying it would be.
“I would reject the president’s position on Canada has shifted. Perhaps he just hasn’t been asked about Canada by questions from this group in the Oval Office,” said Leavitt.
“The president still maintains his position on Canada. The United States has been subsidizing Canada’s national defence and he believes that Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state of the United States of America.”
Let’s hope we get to hear our political leaders talk about real issues during the debates (around the Habs game) on Wednesday and Thursday, about the problems facing Canada and their respective solutions for fixing the country. Trump didn’t give us a widening income gap, high food inflation or housing unaffordability, the Liberals did.

Only one candidate is ready to go ahead with boosting ties with China to scam Canadians into buying Chinese solar, wind, and heat pumps to benefit Brookfield.
We've been warned by CSIS about election shenanigans....what does CIA know?
That's the kind of "bomb" I speak of. If I can tie Carney to Unifor (autos, media, manufacturing) I'm sure the US spooks have dirt on Carney that doesn't wash of off with eco-friendly detergents.
Trump already grabbed Canada by the pussy and he quit and went away. What did the Yanks have on Trudeau?
The dufas on the right is gone. The commission did the right thing for a change.
We’ve been warned about electoral interference (foreign and otherwise) in Canada for…years, & though some of us swim in the pool of knowledge trying to see behind the curtain, many just don’t.
You could try and connect the dots, and I can try and connect the dots, and others can try and connect the dots, but many are just trying to pay their bills and don’t even look for the dots to connect.
Those are the people that end up scammed, try an MLM or end up jaded with an addiction.
Green Party dropped from leaders' debates for not running enough candidates — CBC News
The Leaders' Debates Commission, which is tasked with organizing the French and English debates, has removed the Green Party from federal leaders’ debates for failing to meet participation requirements.
There are many without a disposable income left over to play with at the end of the day. They meet their bills, or try to, & that’s it. They’re not in the stock market, they are not investing in anything beyond survival and keeping the wolves at bay. That’s the reality for a significant portion of the population.
They aren't the 1%ers who are being pummeled by market losses? Who knew? So the average schlub has nothing to fear? Why are schlubs panicked? Chimps told them to?

Green Party dropped from leaders' debates for not running enough candidates — CBC News
The Leaders' Debates Commission, which is tasked with organizing the French and English debates, has removed the Green Party from federal leaders’ debates for failing to meet participation requirements.
Schlubs are worried about increasing prices for everything that’s not reflected in increases in their incomes. That’s my best guess, & who’s selling the direction of that threat the best.
The schlubs are the first to enjoy the benefits not take the brunt. The waaaaaasy overinflated housing market bubble popped. The schlubs are seeing rents drop making sandwich meat something they can now afford while those midstream have to drop from T bones to rib eye. The top are losing big but are the loudest because the chimps eat their bananas.
Thanks to A1 sauce (AI) we can localize this.
Yes, rental prices in Canada, including in Regina, are experiencing a downward trend. The national average asking rent has dropped to an 18-month low, with some cities seeing more significant declines. This trend is being driven by various factors, including a decrease in international student populations and a weakening labor market.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
National Trend:
The national average asking rent has been declining since October 2023, reaching an 18-month low in January 2025, according to a report from Rentals.ca and Urbanation.
Regina's Situation:
While the national trend is downward, Regina specifically experienced a surge in rents in September 2024, increasing by 23.5% to an average of $1,378, reports Regina Leader Post.
Factors Contributing to the Decline:
Decreasing International Student Populations: The number of international students has been declining, which has reduced demand in many university towns and cities.
Weakening Labor Market:
Higher unemployment rates, particularly in major cities, are impacting rental demand, especially among younger people who are more likely to rent.
Increased Apartment Supply: Multi-decade highs in apartment completions are adding to the supply of rental units, which has put downward pressure on prices.
Impact of the Drop:
Lower rents can lead to increased affordability, potentially boosting demand for goods and services in certain areas.
Regional Differences:
While the national trend is downward, some cities like Calgary and Vancouver have experienced more significant declines in rental prices.
