Summary
Michael Walters, a former Edmonton councillor, is sounding the alarm ahead of October 19’s vote, warning that complacency could sink the “stay” campaign. With polls showing a strong lead for remaining in Canada, he fears low turnout—and points to past election surprises like Trump’s win and Brexit as proof polls can mislead. He’s calling for grassroots action: call 25 friends before the vote to remind them to show up. While economic arguments on both sides are being made, experts say emotion trumps numbers. The real danger? A lack of engagement. Turnout is everything. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
