Great to see this new book on Canadian PMs & their cabinets! It looks like an excellent resource. Along with co-authors Jeni Armstrong & Dan Arnold, I contributed the chapter on Justin Trudeau’s ever-changing team -- constantly updated right up to Mark Carney becoming PM.

Details are scanty about party/leader polling in Newfoundland & Labrador. No public polls in 2025! Narrative Research found that support for the NL government before the election call was 66%. Survey was Aug. 7-29. Source: Chronicle Herald Sept 18. #nlpoli

Look what arrived in the mail! Right up my alley. Rob Currie-Wood has gone deep into an assortment of Conservative, Liberal & NDP documents. Just the kind of research we need to better understand how political parties operate in Canada. #cdnpoli @ubcpress.bsky.social
