Really enjoyed your coverage of the unprecedented swing in the arc of this election. Interesting that the polling picked up the narrowing of the gap in the last week which proved directionally correct. I have two questions:
1. What do you think was the biggest factor in the CPC gains in the last week?

2. If the NDP loses party status with just 7 seats, does that provide an opportunity for the Liberals to offer 3 of those "independents" a role in forming a majority government?
1) I think the Liberal campaign was coasting off Trump and new Carney smell in the first weeks but that started to wear off. I’m curious what local dynamics were so important in the GTA and SW to swing so many seats to the Conservatives.
2) The remaining NDP MPs don’t strike me as opportunists, so I don’t think they’ll have much success trying to lure any of them over. Collectively, they hold more influence than they would be crossing the floor.
