With 30 days to go, here is the state of the race and my thoughts. From now on every 10 days, I will combine these posts with the four upcoming elections (New Zealand, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and US) although in first and third only if major news. Since nothing major in those two, will skip… Continue reading 30 days until US election with October surprise and other upcoming elections

Below is my thoughts on throne speech and Trudeau's televised address while on four upcoming elections in order of election dates. First New Zealand, then British Columbia, then Saskatchewan, and finally the US. Throne speech was very vague and had both good parts, but some very worrisome parts. I was happy to see attention to… Continue reading Throne Speech and four upcoming elections

Horgan has decided to call an early and opportunistic election. While he has been riding high in the polls, BC is seeing a strong uptick in cases, so this seems like an incredibly dumb idea. Its one thing if government already had a scheduled election like Saskatchewan does, that is fair. But to call an… Continue reading BC early election call

Tonight New Brunswick will vote while in 50 days it is US election. Below are my thoughts on both. First I will start with New Brunswick election and then onto US election. For New Brunswick, Higgs called an early one in order to try to win a majority. I believe with pandemic despite New Brunswick… Continue reading 50 days to US election and New Brunswick Election

Yesterday, BC court ruled on the Cambie surgery clinic. For full disclosure I went there for my shoulder surgery back in early 2018 and yes I am enrolled in MSP and yes I paid for it. So essentially the surgery I got then may no longer be allowed in future. My view on ruling is… Continue reading Cambie case decision

Erin O'Toole has had his first week on the job and so far has done reasonably well. Definitely a huge step up from Scheer and also more moderate than Harper and Scheer. While I would prefer party return fully to its PC roots, at least O'Toole is not a Reformer like Harper and Scheer and… Continue reading 60 days until US election and Erin O’Toole’s first week

Normally every ten days, I will give an update on state of US election. However with little polling and few shifts, the answer is not much has happened here. Only change I would make is I would give Trump North Carolina instead of Biden, but its always been close all along so really unless a… Continue reading Erin O’Toole next Tory leader, Chrystia Freeland next Finance minister

It's now official, Kamala Harris will be Biden's running mate and a fairly good chance she becomes next vice-president.  If she does become vice-president, she will be the first woman to ever occupy this position.  On balance I think this was a good choice and while initially I was skeptical of her, I had been… Continue reading Biden’s VP Pick – Kamala Harris

I plan to every ten days until US election do an update on state of race.  On the presidential front, not much has happened and state of race is more or less the same as 10 days ago.  As such this will focus more on senate since if Biden wins White House but Democrats don't… Continue reading 90 Days until US election

In 100 days and a few hours, the first polls will close and depending on closeness, good chance we will find out who will be president of the US for next four years.  Below is a summary of where we are at and where things could go.  Without question, if an election were held today,… Continue reading 100 days until US election
