Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don't complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.

I'm of the belief they use polling to help maintain the status quo of only really having 2 partys people want to choose. The polling helps them ensure no 3rd party steps in and starts gaining traction. A lot of people tell me its a waste of a vote if it isnt for the libs or the cons. The absolute reliance and normality of strategic voting is an obvious sign we are due for electoral reform and some new faces in parliament.
