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.

What is left of the Liberal party is falling apart in Quebec. I would expect to see the Conservative popular vote increase a bit in Quebec, whether that will reflect any extra seats there will remain to be seen.

Not true. If you are to believe SJP he is not poor and yet he slobbers on count iggy's feet.
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.

I normally jump on the bandwagon of anti-Iggyness but after hearing him say we need to take the deficit seriously and might need to raise taxes to pay for things he's winning me over. A refreshing change from the reckless deficit spending politicians catering to selfish and near sighted canadians

Phezziweg - Now if you believed that the deficit could be reduced without cuts to everything that the feds pay for well you were not thinking at all. So Iggy comes out and say we may have to make cuts - now you are all agleam with Iggy - Shallow and non thinking is something you should consider as that is how it comes across.

Catman- I remenber all the Political Pundits running to their local pulpits and yelling now Harper is in trouble - Dion was an utter failure but now he doesn't have Dion to kick around he is going mano a mano with Ignatieff - Harper was sure to lose - Recent polls show the Conservatives making inroads into the 905 are - women - etc - If an election had been called it was as one person wrote quite possible that Iggy would have had less seats than Dion - The Liberals are starting to run out of Lemmings -

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.
