Regarding #2 “elections on a Monday”, Australia does it right - always on a Saturday. The upcoming one, May 3, is the every-3-years-or-so Federal election in which, like Canada, the conservatives were until recently favored to take over Government from Labor, but the latter has made a comeback, though less spectacular than Canada’s libs. The political spectrum is colorful: the conservatives are Blue, leftwing Labor is Red, there’s the Greens, and a bunch of climate-concerned independents are informally Teal. As an expat, I’ll be watching!
Regarding parties in Canada, for context, the "Liberals" are the center to center-left party. The NDP (New Democrats) are more to the left than the Liberals.
John McCain's comeback in the 2008 GOP nomination race was similarly dramatic. He was polling in 5th place at one point in December 2007.

Trump's continued determination to torch Poilievre and the Canadian Conservative party is impressive.
“Impressive” is not quite the word I would have chosen.

Yes, I will only read your 100-days recap Gabe, for truths, graphs, and facts — but mostly for my own sanity 😉.
