The fact that younger Canadians seem disproportionately drawn to the far-right is deeply troubling. In the US, the younger generations are overwhelmingly more likely to support progressive policies. It makes zero rational sense for any Gen Z Canadian to support the CPC. They should overwhelmingly support the NDP.

Minimal changes within the margin of error this week. Liberals are down 2%, but none of the other parties had any visible movement.
A 10% lead is still pretty good for the Liberals.

I think the Liberals pivot to their historically normal positions (generally whenever a Trudeau hasn’t been in power) has allowed them to swallow up a good amount of the traditional Liberal/PC vote, while generally making mostly savvy political choices that overshadow the things people disagree with etc. Historically, voters that leaned Liberal to Progressive Conservative prior to 1993 were collectively the largest single voting bloc in the country and the CPC dysfunction and baggage on social a climate issues being on full display right now tends has resulted in the Liberals getting back a lot of that support that Trudeau was unable to inspire in voters etc.
Though it also helps that this government is addressing long neglected issues like inter-provincial trade & defense while dealing with Trump additionally gives Carney a strong mandate etc.

Still a very commanding lead.
However, it should be noted that this poll is still for the period before the US strikes on Iran. Those strikes are deeply unpopular with Americans, and likely even more unpopular with Canadians.
Therefore, this lead could take a hit, depending on how the public decides to prioritize that issue among everything else that’s going on.
