The latest Canadian public opinion poll suggests there has been no impact from the seismic events taking place in U.S. politics and that the excitement generated by Kamala Harris has not rubbed off on voters north of the border.

As Abacus’ David Coletto and I discussed in June, 20-point comeback election wins are as rare as world-class Australian break-dancers.
