Do Canadians want to elect a bumbling government for a third time or will they elect a government that wants to fix the problems and plan for the future.
it has paid off the loan, the party is not broke any more.
Enough is enough the Conservative government has outlived their usefulness in leading this country.
Today on CTV Question Period the two hosts will get the news and off we go.
This election will be different from previous years and this election people will have a simple choice.

The campaign bus is fueled and ready to go.
It is time for a change.

I think the two parties are running neck and neck (the last poll I saw Liberals were slightly ahead). There was no reason for the last election, except that the Messiah thought that he will be able to get a majority (and to give Dion his due, he stopped conservatives from getting a majority).
But with Ignatieff, Liberal party has been revitalized, it has paid off the loan, the party is not broke any more. Conservatives have been in power long enough so that disillusionment is beginning to set in (but yet not long enough for people to get thoroughly disgusted). The next election should be interesting.

I am anxious to hear all about the liberal's secret platform that will magically transform this global recession into another boom.
To date, all I've heard from Iggy is that EI should be altered to allow those that have worked 45 days to qualify for full EI benefits and that the libs are furious with Harper as he hasn't spent enough to ward-off the recession.

Yeah, I haven't heard from him though where the money is coming from- and he's going to reduce the G.S.T.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually that would be a moot point anyway, under Iggy no one will have enough money to spend on anything where the G.S.T. is applicable.
First of all, the guys on CTV Question Period do not call elections.
Secondly, no one would win a majority.
Thirdly, we just HAD an election...
And Fourth.....does anybody know where Saint Ignatieff stands on ANYTHING??????
Anybody?????

The Liberals and Conservatives are not exactly neck and neck. If both parties get an equal share of the undecided vote, the Liberals would win a majority. The following is the latest Nanos poll:
Quote has been trimmed, See full post:
Committed Voters - Canada (N=879, MoE ± 3.3%, 19 times out of 20)
Liberal Party 37% (+1)
Conservative Party 32% (-1)
NDP 16% (+1)
BQ 8% (-1)
Green Party 7% (NC)
(*Note: Undecided 12%)

Possible, yes....but I doubt it.
Heaven knows you can't predict....like someone said, a week is a long time in politics....Harper was fully expecting a majority last time.
I really don't expect a Summer election. As much as I think the Conservatives should be stopped before they bury the country in debt, there is a possibility that the voters might poop all over the party that causes a Summer election.
On the other hand, the trend seems to be moving away from the tories. Harper made the mistake of pissing off Quebec and Newfoundland before the last election and he has done nothing to patch up those problems. I would say that Harper is done like toast.

IF everything went the Liberals' way. It would depend very much how that undecided vote is spread amongst the ridings. I would guess that a majority of the undecideds probably won't vote. Liberals should have the edge solely because Harper isn't doing much to pull us out of the recession (but that's because a P.M. has very little power in that regard)
I don't have any love for Harper but if the Liberals force another election on us before 2012 I will vote for the Conservatives. Besides which the Liberals still have to find a leader. He/she must have some business experience, be able to speak English and been West of Toronto at least once in their lifetime.
From what I've heard, Iggy stated that both a carbon tax and a GST hike were not out of the question.
It's no secret that I am not a fan of tax increases, but increasing a person's overall cost of living via GST and a increase through the carbon tax will be disastrous. The timing on this one is extraordinarily bad.
Your sole focus appears to rest on some form of negative (relative to the cons) that is convenient at the time... Rather than beat this drum about why to not support Harper, perhaps you can provide tangible reasons why someone should support Ignatieff.
That is the reality, Captain, people vote for or against the government, it is rare that people will vote for or against the opposition. Thus Harper won his first election because people were fed up with Liberal scandals and in general got bored with Liberals (hardly surprising, after being in power for13 years) and not because they particularly liked Harper.
So Cons won the first election because people voted against the government of the day (Liberals). After that, it was up to Harper to give Canadians a positive reason to vote for him. Canadians will not keep voting for him just because he says that the alternative is worse.
It is the government’s task to give people a positive reason to vote for it, not the opposition’s task. So far Harper has failed miserably in giving people a reason to vote for him.
