Il giorno delle elezioni si avvicina: come voterete?

TORONTO – Ho votato col voto anticipato. Come molti lettori del Corriere Canadese, sono rimasto sorpreso dai profili dei distretti descritti quotidianamente da Priscilla Pajdo nelle nostre pagine. Nessun’altra pubblicazione ha fornito ai propri lettori un quadro così ampio e dettagliato di qualsiasi circoscrizione elettorale come i suoi articoli. Si è concentrata sui distretti in cui il 9% o più della popolazione è di origine italiana… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

Election Day coming up. How will you vote?

TORONTO – I voted in the advance polls. Like many readers of the Corriere Canadese, I have been taken aback by the riding profiles offered daily by Priscilla Pajdo in our pages. No other publication has been providing their readers with as extensive and detailed a picture of any constituency as her pieces have. She has focused on districts where 9% or more of the population are of Italian origin.  Continue reading→

Effect of debates: liberals catch up the lost ground

TORONTO – With the televised debates Erin O’Toole had the chance to close the game, but evidently was not able to take advantage of the opportunity. This is the key to reading that derives from the analysis of all the polls carried out in Canada in September, which highlight how in the first week of this month the Conservatives had consolidated a good margin of advantage over the Liberals, but how, at the same time, after the double confrontation between the leaders of the parties this advantage has been dissipated. At this moment, after a phase of substantial statistical parity between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, it is Justin Trudeau who has returned to play the role of front runner in view of the vote on September 20.  Continue reading→
