“An election takes the country’s temperature”: in Election 2021, Canada remains “a hotbed of cold feet”

At Campbell Strategies we don’t compete with the newspapers to provide you with statistics . We strive to provide perspective and broad context for outcomes you can read about in the media. As we’ve thought about how to characterize Election 2021, we think no one can say it better than journalist Andrew Cohen in the Ottawa Citizen recently: Status quo election shows Canada is not a divided nation.

Sometimes to have perspective you have to step back and “come from away”, as Andrew so brilliantly does in his analysis.
