Season 4 is here!

Yesterday marked 10 years since we lost Jack Layton. Agree with him or not, he was giant in the world of Canadian politics and his impact and influence is still felt, and missed.

The Liberals seemed to have grossly misjudged the ease to which they would sail through this campaign. They seem to be regrouping on strategy and rolled out their ‘platform’ — spoiler alert, it’s policy bullet points and literally nothing we haven’t heard from them yet. Did they botch this whole thing?

We look at the current polling and ask, can the NDP continue their upswing?
