Pick the last Federal election(s) in Canada where the winning party received 50% or better of the popular vote?
Why do I ask? An Ekos poll that polled people on March 23 had sentiment at: LPC 50% CPC 35% NDP 7% Bloc 4% GPC 2%

#CPPotD update and continuation!
Well! According to reporting from multiple sources this morning, the 68% of you who thought an election would be called this week or before the 28th were right!
Carney will call the election on Sunday!
That leaves one last question before then, so I will make this poll 3 days. Will the Election Date be April 28th or May 5.

#CPPotD Canadian Politics Poll of the Day - Mark Carney Goes to Europe Edition!
I have been supportive of talk of Canada joining the EU, but I admit, I feel a little... conflicted.. about this quotable quote from PM Mark Carney today alongside President Macron.
What was your reaction to Carney saying we are "The most European of Non-European Countries”?

“B.C. MLA Adrian Dix says he gets texts, emails, and even stopped at his local Safeway. He says people urge him to cut off power or even water to the U.S.
"People are angry," said Dix, B.C.'s Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions and the minister responsible for the Columbia River Treaty.
"They ask me, well, can't we cut off something? People want to take action.”
_____
Well? Do you support cutting off electricity and/or water to the USA if tariffs happen?

SImple question today as Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of Canada and of England, announces his bid for leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada and, as a result, to be our next Prime Minister.
Will Mark Carney be the next Prime Minister of Canada?

What does it say about Canada that the only time we have had a female Prime Minister... and likely again if Christy Clark were to be successful in the upcoming leadership race… is as a stand-in for a doomed party in the next election?
So here's a #CPPOtD poll! (Multiple Choice!)
Let's say Christy Clark wins the leadership race and we go into a Spring #CanPoli Election. #PleaseBoost
The answer:
#1: 1958 Diefenbaker’s Progressive Conservatives won 53.6% of the popular vote and 208 seats. He beat Lester Pearson’s Liberals. The CCF came third with 8 seats.
#2: 1984 Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives won 50.03% of the popular vote and 211 seats over John Turner’s Liberals with the NDP finishing third with 30 seats.

WITHOUT SPOILING :)
If you want to find the answer afterward you can go here and step through each election from 1949 and quietly celebrate or rue your choice. 🤣
I’ll post the answer after the poll closes.

#CPPotD Post-WWII (1949), Canada has only had two elections where the winning party garnered more than 50% of the popular vote. Name the two! (Without googling of course! :)) Boost for reach! :)

Will Justin Trudeau take his "walk in the snow" and resign before the New Year likely causing an immediate election, or will he call an election before June, or finally, hang on until the last possible moment with an election in Summer or Fall 2025?
Will Trudeau announce his departure before the October 28 deadline some members of his causus has given him?
CBC: “Some Liberal MPs issue a deadline to Trudeau: make up your mind to stay or go by Oct. 28 “
