BURLINGTON, ON
Current polls have Gould as “leaning”.
And they are off.
The Governor General accepted Prime Minister Carney’s request and dissolved Parliament and issued writs for an election that will take place April 28th, one day short of the absolute minimum amount of time for a federal election.
Set out below is data on where the parties stand if the voter were to take place today.
What is interesting is the hold that Karina Gould does not appear to have on the Burlington seat. They were ranked safe, likely, toss up and leaning Gould is listed as leaning at this point.
Seats by party
These are very early stage numbers that will undoubtedly change.
The race in Burlington could be very interesting.
As a loyal follower of Justin Trudeau and his policies this could now be a detriment for Karina Gould.
The main reason for the upsurge in the polls for the Liberal Government was that Justin Trudeau resigned.
I don’t think she did herself any favour running for the leadership of the Liberal Party. Her platform did not resonate with Mark Carney who did not select her to be in his present cabinet.
