Well it’s worth noting that poilievre got almost the same popular vote as carney did. And there’s no doubt the Carney had his own trudeomanium moments there in the campaign where people flock to him because they believed in him not because they didn’t believe in Poilievre. In fact based on the polling poilievre was gaining ground through most of the election.

None of the polling I saw indicated that defense was a major issue. And it wasn’t really brought up a lot during the election, that was more post-election. So while anything is possible I’m not seeing a lot of evidence for that being a major driving force

I don’t know that the new NDP is going to be pushing terribly hard for military spending.
