I've been back in Québec for 3 months and haven't followed the anglo media. Québécois' opinion on Don Cherry is pretty unanimous: a vulgar and outrageous man who's never won a cup. Is anyone in English Canada actually outraged, or have we collectively decided his legacy doesn't count as a problem?

Mainstreet's infamous convergence with other pollsters' numbers in the last two weeks of an election. While all pollsters are stable or see a slight drop for liberals, Mainstreet magically goes from +2PCC to +5PLC just before election day 🙃 #polcan
