Tarot Canadian Politics, halftime show!

 We find ourselves halfway through the election cycle and now comes the time to test the progress of the Candidates. As I prepare to read their cards, the CPC is polling in first place, with the Liberals in close second, followed by the NDP, greens etc.


Here's how the cards play down...

LPC
Empress Rx, The Moon, Queen of Pentacles Rx

That Empress reversed shows the feeling of frustration and anxiety the Liberals are feeling, they've got get really bright and shiny about where they are looking for their votes, they're feeling a little more shaky than they actually are. So they have to ground themselves and stop listening to the egoes.

CPC
Five of Wands Rx, Eight of Cups Rx, Three of Swords Rx

So, these cards don't make any right sense given the polls. Essentially, the five has them battling and struggling to move ahead, and mostly fear that at the end of they day, they're dead in the water. Possibly the energy refers to the inability to bring in anything more than just their base in spite of OTooles plan. 

NDP: The Sun Rx, 4 Wands Rx, Page of Pentacles

The positive aspect of the three cards is not lost on the fact that there is a probability for gains, but not enough to get any further ahead than still building. The NDP needs to focus on grounding their positive energies and bringing those to the fore and there they'll find the growth they seek.

GPC: 2 of Cups jumped out of the deck; a possible merger? followed by the 9 of Swords, 3 of cups and 8 of wands. 
This doesn't look good for the Greens, there is a large amount of energy encouraging their supporters to cross the floor in order to further their goals.

BQ: The Bloc got a boost in the arm from the debate. All that remains in putting their winning campaign together is to not lose it in the English debates and just go with the flow.

Others: Seven of Pentacles Rx, Lovers Rx, King of Pentacles Rx

Bad news but here we see the bitterness at being left out in the cold, a jilted lover and and an unfulfilled King.


Justin Trudeau: The Devil, Ten of Swords Rx, Ace of Swords Rx

Our incumbent PM is feeling a mite like he isn't as in control as he'd like to be, and is feeling rather enslaved to the situation in spite of the fact that it isn't over until election day. He still has a few cards up his sleeve. 


Jagmeet Singh: Knight of Wands Rx, Six of Pentacles, Ten of Pentacles

The leader of the NDP wants to ride into Parliament on his trusty electric bike, and he'll find that his consistent give and take and compromising is going to pay off for him, in spite of the fact that he is not Jack Layton. 

Annamie Paul: Wheel of Fortune, Ace of Swords, Six of Wands

You pays your money, you takes your chances. Hiding behind the truth created a situation that may have created an unnecessary battle for Ms. Paul. If she can get out of her head, she will see her way to some victory.

Erin O’Toole: Strength, Queen of Swords Rx, Knight of Swords

Mr. O'toole is stalwart confident, but he is petrified that a perceived gaffe of his has spun his campaign out of control! He is hoping the campaign will pay off in spite of it, but knows he is in for a wild ride.

Maxime Bernier: Eight of Pentacles Rx, Death, Judgement

Tearing down and unbuilding has created the slow bleed that will be the death of his party. The writing has been on the wall for a while, now it's time to heed the call of the universe.

Yves-François Blanchet: Wishing to inject positive energy into a campaign that just consistently seems to leave him wondering what to do next, he will be left with a choice he does not care to make.

Summary

Based on these cards, I suggest that a minority Conservative Government may be in the works. Right now the cards suggest it will be very close. We have two weeks until election day.

Can the Liberals pull it off?

We shall see.
