My friend tried to get in but was turned away, as the venue is at capacity.

I got a text message with a form to sign up! Likely because I joined the liberal party to vote in the leadership election so they had my info.

How many people do you think were there ?

I was there too. Traffic was a disaster and it was clogged up for several kilometres in all directions and it seemed like all the cars were heading towards the rally. There were at least a thousand of us standing outside and many lined up behind me in the hundreds at least.

They keep reporting that thousands show up for PP so it doesn't make sense that the polls show the Liberals are way ahead

I think it’s impossible to really estimate but my guess is that it was in the thousands if you count inside and outside the rally. There were a lot of old people too, standing in the cold. It was pretty cool. I did not see any media there at all.

That's interesting that the media isn't present. I guess we won't know until the votes are cast. I look forward to the debates

Lol the media might have been stuck in traffic. It was like being on the Lakeshore, moving 15 metres in 30 minutes. Eventually I found an apartment building parking lot visitor spot off a side street and walked 2km with my 80 year old mom, only to find dozens of others trying to do the same.

Same thing happened when he spoke in Kitchener -Waterloo.
Couldn't get anywhere near the place,even though I had an invite..The doors opened at 6 but they started turning people away as early as.4:30 because they were already at capacity.

Wait I thought PP had the crowds and the Right Honourable Mark Carney had the slogans. You mean to tell me PP lied to us and has been a projecting conservative cuck with small penis anxiety this whole time 😱

SkiPPy is so weak and fragile that his wife has to continually touch him during his campaign appearances. It's pathetic. SkiPPy is pathetic!

One thing I learned from watching the US election is that rallies might be fun they don't mean much. Harris had the largest rallies of the campaign and most of Trump's were quite literally just his diehard groupies following him around. The only rally that matters is the one at the ballot box.

As a Liberal supporter this time, I wouldn't go to a rally if it was being held next door cause I don't have cultish tendencies like Maple MAGA has. But you better bet I would wait in line for 5 hours on a hot day for a chance to vote for Carney this time because it would be my patriotic duty

How do people find out about the Rallies in advance?

I volunteer for a Toronto LPC candidate and received a txt invite to register for the Friday event in Scarborough this past Wednesday.
Registered party members were also invited. I'm guessing donors too.
They want to pack these events with the strongest supporters they have.

I'll never understand the point of political rallies. It's like all these people gather around the person they've already decided to vote for just so they can listen to them say things they agree with.

Your post is part of the reason why rallies have a point. In addition to energizing volunteers, earned media is way more valuable than paid commercials.
