Our latest Alberta poll finds the UCP at 49% and the NDP at 36% among committed voters. The UCP’s lead is driven by overwhelming strength outside Edmonton and Calgary. But healthcare is emerging as a key vulnerability for the government. Details: https://t.co/NZos05AtZL

Most Albertans oppose independence (64%), and only 1 in 4 support it. Still, 53% say they believe Premier Danielle Smith would vote to leave Canada in a referendum. That belief extends well beyond independence supporters. #ableg Details: https://t.co/1hvqTI7r8o

The national mood has stabilized. 42% say Canada is headed in the right direction, 45% say wrong track. Pessimism about the world remains high, but views of Canada are more balanced than at any point in the past two years. Details: https://t.co/XHIOwonXX2

After a high-profile floor crossing, the fundamentals haven’t shifted. Liberals hold a 6-point national lead, Carney’s net favourability is +20, and turnout intensity favours the governing party. Stability, not volatility, defines this moment. Details: https://t.co/09SNECST2N

Our latest Nova Scotia Omnibus finds the PCs starting the winter session from a position of strength: 48% vote intention, strong regional dominance, and net-positive approval. But issue ratings on affordability (18%) and housing (22%) suggest real pressure heading into budget
