TORONTO – A cinque giorni dal voto, conservatori e liberali si trovano in una sostanziale parità statistica. Gli ultimi sondaggi confermano come la distanza tra i due partiti sia al di sotto della soglia del 2 per cento, che rappresenta il margine d’errore e che quindi certifica come i rapporti di forza, espressi nelle intenzioni di voto dell’elettorato canadese, si siano cristallizzati in una parità generalizzata. Per cercare di capire quali siano le dinamiche che stanno caratterizzando questo nuovo equilibrio tra le forze politiche in corsa occorre andare ad analizzare la situazione su base regionale… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

TORONTO – Five days before the vote, conservatives and liberals are in substantial statistical parity. The latest polls confirm that the distance between the two parties is below the 2 percent threshold, which represents the margin of error and therefore certifies how the balance of power, expressed in the voting intentions of the Canadian electorate, has crystallized into a generalized parity. To try to understand what are the dynamics that are characterizing this new balance between the political forces in the race, it is necessary to analyze the situation on a regional basis. (more…)
TORONTO – Con i dibattiti televisivi Erin O’Toole ha avuto la possibilità di chiudere la partita, ma evidentemente non è stato in grado di sfruttare l’occasione. È questa la chiave di lettura che deriva dall’analisi di tutti i sondaggi realizzati in Canada nel mese di settembre, che mettono in luce come nella prima settimana di questo mese i conservatori avevano consolidato un buon margine di vantaggio sui liberali, ma come, allo stesso tempo, dopo il doppio confronto tra i leader dei partiti questo vantaggio sia stato dissipato. In questo momento, dopo una fase di sostanziale parità statistica tra il Partito Conservatore e il Partito Liberale, è Justin Trudeau ad essere tornato a recitare il ruolo di front runner in vista del voto del 20 settembre… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – With the televised debates Erin O’Toole had the chance to close the game, but evidently was not able to take advantage of the opportunity. This is the key to reading that derives from the analysis of all the polls carried out in Canada in September, which highlight how in the first week of this month the Conservatives had consolidated a good margin of advantage over the Liberals, but how, at the same time, after the double confrontation between the leaders of the parties this advantage has been dissipated. At this moment, after a phase of substantial statistical parity between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, it is Justin Trudeau who has returned to play the role of front runner in view of the vote on September 20.

TORONTO – The difficulties of Jagmeet Singh and the rise of Maxime Bernier are holding back Erin O’Toole. And, as a result of the inertia that has been created, Justin Trudeau is smiling, relaunching his ambitions for the conquest of the third term after those resulting from the vote of 2015 and 2019. To provide us with the change in the balance of power in this race for the federal vote is the snapshot taken by the latest polls that highlight how between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party there continues to be a tight head-to-head on which, however, weighs enormously what is happening on the right and left in the Canadian party arc.

TORONTO – L’ultima settimana di campagna elettorale si apre sulla falsariga del filo conduttore che sta caratterizzando il percorso che ci porta alle urne: quello dell’incertezza. Gli ultimi sondaggi, realizzati dopo i due dibattiti televisivi dell’8 e del 9 settembre tra i leader dei partiti, hanno confermato come i liberali e i conservatori siano impegnati in un serrato testa a testa, con i neodemocratici in difficoltà e con una impressionante crescita a destra del People’s Party di Maxime Bernier… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – The last week of the election campaign opens along the lines of the common thread that is characterizing the path that leads us to the polls: that of uncertainty. The latest polls, carried out after the two televised debates of 8 and 9 September between the leaders of the parties, have confirmed that the Liberals and Conservatives are engaged in a tight head-to-head, with the neo-Democrats in difficulty and with an impressive growth to the right of Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party.

TORONTO – A dieci giorni esatti dalle elezioni è iniziata la grande sfida tra i partiti per convincere gli indecisi. Una fetta dell’elettorato ancora molto cospicua, come confermano gli ultimi sondaggi, una fascia che alla fine dei conti potrebbe spostare definitivamente gli equilibri e i rapporti di forza tra le formazioni politiche. Certo, dopo il dibattito in francese di mercoledì e quello in inglese di ieri sera, bisognerà aspettare ancora un po’ per tastare il polso dell’elettorato e vedere se i confronti televisivi avranno avuto la forza di cambiare le carte in tavola… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

TORONTO – Un’incognita, indecifrabile e imprevedibile, pesa su queste elezioni federali. A undici giorni dall’appuntamento alle urne, con i sondaggi che confermano il vantaggio del Partito Conservatore sui liberali di Justin Trudeau, la presenza del People’s Party minaccia di scardinare gli equilibri e i rapporti di forza tra le forze politiche in corsa per il voto del 20 settembre… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – An unknown, indecipherable, and unpredictable factor on this federal election. Twelve days before the polls, with polls confirming the Conservative party’s lead over Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, the presence of the People’s Party threatens to upset the balance and balance of power between the political forces running for the September 20 vote. For now we do not talk about it, or rather we talk about it little. The movement founded and led by Maxime Bernier at the baptism of fire in the 2019 elections did not do very well: just 294 thousand votes throughout the country, equal to 1.6 percent, no elected deputies and the same leader beaten in his electoral district of Beauce by former party comrade Richard Lehoux.

TORONTO – The debate in Quebec on September 2 between the leaders did not shift the balance of power between the parties. The confirmation comes from the last 8 polls carried out after the debate in French which highlight how the Conservative Party led by Erin O’Toole continues to enjoy a comforting margin of advantage over the liberals of Justin Trudeau. Jagmeet Singh’s NDP continues to play the role of third inconvenience while the percentage of undecided remains high.

In general, tories are stabilising at around 35 per cent, while grits range from 28.1 per cent to 33 per cent. (more…)
TORONTO – Con i conservatori che rafforzano il loro vantaggio sui liberali, nella campagna elettorale irrompe il “fattore Ford”. Il premier dell’Ontario, dopo un lungo silenzio durato più di cinque settimane, è tornato – abbronzatissimo – davanti alle telecamere mercoledì per presentare il passaporto vaccinale che entrerà in vigore il prossimo 22 settembre, due giorni dopo il voto federale. E durante la conferenza stampa ha lanciato due “siluri” contro Justin Trudeau… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

TORONTO – La tempesta perfetta, uno scenario da incubo, si sta materializzando per Justin Trudeau. I nuovi sondaggi certificano il momento di grande difficoltà per il primo ministro uscente, che non solo incassa il rafforzamento del Partito Conservatore nelle intenzioni di voto, ma che è anche costretto a subire la crescita dell’Ndp. Il Partito Liberale, partito alla vigilia della campagna elettorale nettamente in vantaggio, in questo momento è fortemente ridimensionato, stretto tra due fuochi, con Erin O’Toole che continua a rosicchiare voti da destra e con Jagmeet Singh che inizia ad erodere il consenso da sinistra… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – The perfect storm, a nightmare scenario, is materializing for Justin Trudeau. The new polls certify the moment of great difficulty for the outgoing prime minister, who not only collects the strengthening of the Conservative Party in voting intentions, but who is also forced to suffer the growth of the NDP. The Liberal Party, which started on the eve of the election campaign clearly ahead, is currently strongly downsized, caught between two fires, with Erin O’Toole continuing to gnaw votes from the right and with Jagmeet Singh beginning to erode the consensus from the left. And this is precisely the most alarming fact that worries the entourage of the liberal leader: the rise, completely unexpected, of the neo-democrats. (more…)
