Conservatives share of vote is slightly higher than the Liberals, making major gains in key areas for the party • Bloc Quebecois (BQ) is a winner in this election, moving up to official party status which will give the party added resources as well as significance in the House of Commons • The NDP managed to win enough seats to potentially play an important role in the House of Commons, but the party took a big hit in Quebec — where they were only able to hold one of the Layton era “Orange Wave” seats • Maxime Bernier, who started the People’s Party of Canada after narrowly losing the Conservative leadership contest in 2017, lost the seat he has held onto since 2006 • The former Treasury Board president Dr. Jane Philpott, who ran as an independent following her departure from the liberal caucus, lost her seat in Markham Stouffville to former Liberal MPP and Ontario Minister of Health, Dr. Helena Jaczek.

    Canada This Month Public Opinion Research Release Date: July 22, 2020 Federal Politics Field Dates: July 14 to July 20, 2020 STRICTLY PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL 2 Federal Politics in the time of COVID-19 The COVID-19 outbreak has set off a series of changes in the Canadian political landscape. Federally, approval of the government’s handling of the pandemic has been rising, which has translated to the highest government satisfaction that we’ve seen in years. Though approval of the government’s handling of COVID-19 has remained stable, general satisfaction with the federal government has been declining since May. Even so, Trudeau maintains his lead as the best option for Prime Minister of Canada and the Liberals maintain their lead in vote. Today, INNOVATIVE is releasing results from our July 2020 Canada This Month survey. This online survey was in field from July 14th to July 20th with a weighted sample size of 2,000 and oversamples in Alberta and BC. Detailed methodology is provided in the appendix. This report covers key results on how Canadians are rating the Federal government’s handling of COVID-19 and the impacts that is having for government satisfaction and vote choice. 3 Government Approval The federal government continues to receive high marks, both generally and for their handling of COVID-19 specifically. Federal Satisfaction: A majority (54%) report they are satisfied with 4 the performance of the federal government Generally speaking, how satisfied are you with the performance of the FEDERAL government in Canada?

  • This Election, Let's Get Results for Workers. Let's Elect Jagmeet Singh
    August 26, 2021 Greetings, The pandemic has been tough on all of us. Uncertain times continue with many parts of the country now in a fourth wave. Calling a federal election is a self-serving move by the Liberal government. An election right now is unnecessary, especially as many communities are threatened or evacuated by wildfires. While we may not want this election, we still need to participate. It’s a chance for Steelworkers to have our say. Elections matter and your vote matters, too! It is with this in mind that the union has created a number of materials geared to give you the information you need. Find out more at usw.ca/election2021. While the Steelworkers union has done our part to keep workers safe on the job during COVID-19, Jagmeet Singh and the New Democratic Party also have been delivering results, for all workers. The Liberals like to take credit for the government supports provided to people through the pandemic. In reality, it was pressure by Jagmeet Singh and the NDP who worked to get help to millions of Canadians who needed it, and who made sure it was done quickly: 1. The NDP got the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB; now the CRB) doubled from $1,000 to $2,000 a month. 2. The NDP got the wage subsidy for businesses enhanced from 10% to 75% so more people could keep their jobs during the pandemic. 3. The NDP won 10 paid sick days for workers through the Canada Sickness Recovery Benefit – a first in Canada.

    May 12, 2021 The Right Hon. Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada [email protected] The Hon. Marco Mendicino, P.C., M.P. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship [email protected] The Hon. Patty Hajdu, P.C., M.P. Minister of Health [email protected] The Hon. Bill Blair, P.C., M.P. Minister of Public Safety [email protected] Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Ministers Mendicino, Hajdu, and Blair, I’m writing to express Mennonite Central Committee Canada’s concern about the continued lack of travel possibilities for refugees to resettle to Canada. Currently, only those refugees with a permanent residence visa issued before pandemic travel restrictions were introduced in March 2020 are being admitted. There are more than 25 million refugees globally. Resettlement has been a small but important tool to provide a durable solution for some of these refugees and we encourage Canada to continue to play a leadership role in resettlement. As the first organization to sign a Sponsorship Agreement in March 1979, MCC is proud to be a part of that work. Since 1979 we have helped resettle more than 12,500 refugees in many communities across Canada. Last March, when arrivals of refugees were cut to almost none, it was devastating for the many sponsors we work with. In 2020, MCC welcomed 118 refugees through Privately Sponsored Refugee (PSR) and Blended Visa Office Referred (BVOR) programs. That is only 20% of the number we resettled the previous year. We encourage the Canadian government to resume issuing visas for refugees approved for resettlement in Canada.
