Interesting if true

If we compare these national numbers with the previous poll from Angus Reid (December 2024), the Liberal Party climbs 26 points from 16% to 42%, the Conservative Party loses eight points from 45% to 37%, and the New Democratic Party loses 12 points from 21% to 9%.

Today's unexpected discovery. Remember Dead Like Me, one of Bryan Fuller's many, many, many supernatural TV shows? IMDB asserts that it was inspired by Piers Anthony's On a Pale Horse.
