Absolutely agree with your editorial aside. I think there are some legitimate criticisms of her judgment and who she has chosen to advise her, but the federal council seems incredibly determined to bring her down. The level of animosity must be pretty extreme when they are discussing "reviewing" her membership in the party.
I don't see the end game here for the party. Regardless of the outcome the Green Party progress has been set back at least an election cycle, probably more, and the damage could be enough to turn them into an after thought.
The thing is, both Angus Reid and Leger have always been showing that tighter race. They never picked up a widening gap. So, I don't know if they are showing a tightening or if we are just getting a good look at various pollsters' house effects.
If Abacus and Ipsos show a tightening, then it will definitely be confirmed. If they continue to show a 10+ Liberal lead, then we will be in for a confusing few weeks!
I do note that ARI underestimated Liberal support in its final release prior to both the 2015 and 2019 federal election, while Leger only had a very tiny underestimation.

If she was a white man this wouldn’t be happening.
The polls fielded in June, such as Nanos and Ipsos, look dated now. Two recent polls by Angus Reid and Leger are showing a tightening race.

Good point you raise. I will watch out for one or two of the other polls that come out.
