Imagine:
With the new seats, Harper wins a solid majority without significant support in Quebec.....thus demonstrating that the National Political Carbuncle (the need for any gov't to command large support in Quebec) has finally been lanced. The BQ becomes largely irrelevant, and the Quebec tail ceases wagging the RoC dog........
Ah...the hopes.
A sane foreign policy.
A sane policy on gun control.
A sane policy towards our friends.
A military maintained.....
Our position in the world properly cared for....
It is to hope.

I still like a minority Govt - Harper can change his spots pretty quickly - He has to prove himself to a lot of Canadians - and the BS from the both regarding No Taxes - No Spending cuts for the deficit - Pure BS- PS - I am in favor of gun control - cannot recover the billions spent but it does not cost that much now to maintain- While Iggy - he never knows what to do - Read that if an election had been forced he could have ended up with less seats than Dion -

Maintain what? It doesn't work...so what's there to maintain? It still isn't in
place in any effective manner what so ever...several provinces (including
Ontario) even refuse to recognize it as far as the courts go. It's so inacurate,
that it isn't even admissable as evidence.

OTTAWA -- To what depths can Michael Ignatieff sink in unpopularity before he begins to climb back?
A new Strategic Counsel/Globe and Mail/CTV poll puts the federal Conservatives within range of a majority government, with 41 per cent support, compared to 28 per cent for the Liberal Party, a yawning 13-point gap.
Stephen Harper and his Conservatives are ahead of the Liberals among voters regardless of age or education, among both men (46 per cent to 28 per cent) and women (36 per cent to 28 per cent), and in every income level except for those with a household income of less than $50,000 a year.

With the Conservatives high in the polls the big question is if Stephan Harper will go to the Governor General and ask for another election.

It would be nice if politicians of all stripes would quit sucking up to the crybabies in Quebec and worry about the rest of the country for once.

Conservatives extend poll lead over Liberals
Thursday, October 8, 2009
The federal Conservatives have widened their lead over the Liberals when it comes to voting intentions, a new poll suggests.
As the Tories' support shows signs of growing, disapproval ratings for Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff are also going up.
The EKOS poll, released Thursday exclusively to the CBC, found that 39.7 per cent of respondents supported the Conservatives, while the Liberals had 25.7 per cent backing. The New Democratic Party had the support of 15.2 per cent of respondents, with the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois both at 9.7 per cent.
Conservative support was up 3.7 percentage points from a poll released last week, while Liberal support was off by four points. The NDP's support was up by 1.3 points, the Green Party was off by 0.8 points and the Bloc slipped by 0.1.
Since early September, when the Conservatives and the Liberals were in a virtual dead heat in the polls, the Tories have pulled ahead.
The latest poll was conducted between Sept. 30 and Oct. 6.

http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2009/11/13/john-ivison-ignatieff-slips-closer-to-dion-territory.aspxThe good news for Michael Ignatieff in a new Nanos Research poll is that he is still more popular than was his predecessor, Stéphane Dion, after he lost the last general election just over a year ago.The bad news is that another month like the one just passed and the Liberal leader will be in Dion territory — that is, where only one in 10 Canadians think you would make the best Prime Minister.The latest poll shows that Mr. Ignatieff's popularity has fallen off a cliff since the summer. When he became leader, he was within touching distance of Stephen Harper, with the percentage of people thinking he would make the best prime minister consistently in the high 20s, compared to Mr. Harper's numbers in the low 30s.
(Click here to listen to more from John Ivison on the Posted Podcast.)
But his attempt to force an election in September was one of the most spectacular miscalculations in recent Canadian political history. The new survey, taken before and after Monday's byelections, suggests twice as many people think Mr. Harper would make the best PM (34.8%) as Mr. Ignatieff (17.7%). Jack Layton, the NDP leader, was considered best PM material by 15% of respondents — a significant drop-off from his pre-coalition score last year, when he regularly out-polled Mr. Dion.The regional polls have large margins of error but it is interesting to note that even in Quebec, Mr. Harper is considered a better bet than Mr. Ignatieff.

On the Agenda one night, a former Liberal party hack was talking about Iggy. Before he even came to Canada, the Libs were looking his way. Many in the party thought that he would make a good leader but knew he had heavy baggage to dump. They felt that he should come here and get the type of position where he could slowly become known to Canadians over a two to three year period.
Iggy had other plans and now he is paying for his egrigious lack of humility.
But then, that's just my opinion.

Canadian Liberals hit new low in poll
Published: Nov. 21, 2009 at 9:57 AM
TORONTO, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Canada's main opposition party, the Liberals, hit a new low in popularity of 24 percent in a poll published Saturday.
The -- telephone poll of 1,003 adults for the Canwest News Service and Global TV found Liberal support fell one percent from a similar poll last month.
Support also fell for the minority Conservative government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, down three percent to 37 percent, the poll showed.
However, the socialist New Democratic Party surged six percent to 19 percent national support. The Green Party had 10 percent of respondents' favor, while the separatist Bloc Quebecois had nine percent.
The Liberals' showing is the lowest for the party since Michael Ignatieff became leader last December, the pollster said.
The Conservatives are 10 seats short of a parliamentary majority, with 145 of the 308 seats. The Liberals have 77, the Bloc Quebecois 48, the NDP 37 and there is one independent.
The poll was conducted Nov. 17-19 and has a 3.1 percentage point margin of error, Ipsos Reid said.
Hurray for Harper.

Re: Bye Bye Iggy Bye Bye -
Dec 1st, 2009Michael Ignatieff was invited to address a major gathering
of the Indian Nation in B.C. this summer. He spoke for almost an
hour on his future plans for increasing every First Nation's present
standard of living if he were elected Prime Minister. He assured them he was
always urging the present government to address more of the native
community's concerns.
At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribe presented
Ignatieff with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name -
"Walking Eagle". The proud Ignatieff then departed waving to the crowd.
A news reporter later inquired to the group of chiefs of how they came to
select the new name given to Ignatieff. They explained that Walking Eagle is
the name given to a bird so full of **** it can no longer fly.
True? I doubt it.....but funny as Hell....
