Polls are everywhere, but I have never once been asked for my opinion on any poll at any time. 🤔 So I’m curious, who are the people that are getting contacted with these polls? Do they sign up on a list somewhere? Seriously, all these years and I just realized I’ve never contributed.

This poll surveyed 432 people - that’s roughly 0.00001% of Canada’s population. Assuming respondents are randomly selected, that means that even if 100,000 polls like this were run, there’s still a 99% chance you’d never be surveyed.

I think some you can sign up for and others just call randomly by phone.

Since Carney doesn't have a seat currently I'm wondering how it's going to work assuming he wins.

I vaguely remember a situation where another MP had to step down to allow the PM to have a seat (could be miss remembering), but I would imagine carney would have to run/get nominated somewhere that might not have a candidate first before coming to that.

That was Jean Chrétien who took up a safe seat in New Brunswick for a few years after first being elected Liberal leader. That being said, I suspect the more relevant comparison is John Turner who was never actually an MP during his short stint as PM.

Also bit of trivia, William Mackenzie King actually lost his seat in the 1945 election but someone quit a safe seat for him to return to parliament. He remained as PM the whole time.

Okay that's why WMK was in my mind when I wrote that, but I was unsure it was him.

Just a reminder that whoever wins the leadership race WILL be prime minister, even if just for the time of the federal election campaign! So will be interesting

I don't think you can be Prime Minister without a seat in Parliament.

f4dy.bsky.social•11 days ago

You can, and it has happened before!

In the 1890s, mind you but it did happen and there’s technically still no requirement to be an mp!
