Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : It's perplexing that a former Conservative MP's well-documented history of anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-abortion positions did not come up during the campaign, though that might reflect a desire by Liberal strategists to draw as little attention as possible to a vote they knew they were doomed to lose.
55% : In 2018, Jansen began appearing in the media as the face of a group purporting to represent "small business owners" that were opposed to changes to the federal government's Canada Student Jobs program that effectively cut off access to funds for anti-abortion groups.
44% : As Justin Trudeau takes time over the holidays to contemplate his future as prime minister, right-wing forces are seizing the moment and riding a wave of anti-Trudeau sentiment into power.
