The votes in Ontario were actually quite close in the last election and many
ridings were decided by extremely narrow margins. And yes something has
changed. The conservative base is losing faith for a couple of reasons.
1 Harper promised the faithful there would be no political scandals and he
personally appoint all but one of them what a mess
2 If Harper carries on with his changes he loses the public who now want a
different agenda 55% say he's gone too far, in addition if he doesn't keep
going he angers the base
3 The one thing I have noticed is the Tories would sink and come back in the
polls just beyond the forty percent mark. That is no longer the case they
are in the thirties and never regain what they lost
I believe Harper's days are numbered as more and more MP's make their own
remarks in the last couple of months which means his control of the party is
slipping. Some are looking at the polls and thinking about alternatives and he
has stifled leadership renewal
All is not well in the land of the Reform Tories, Majority is out of the question
and minority could see an opposition coalition before the new house would
meet. Could be an interesting year leading up to 2015



1 If you mean changes i.e. lowering taxes, I doubt if he loses support for that. Only NDP and Liberals want to raise taxes and think that government can actually create jobs. Government cannot create jobs (oh, they can increase the size of government) and you and I will have to pay increased taxes to support that.


2. I'm sure when Harper appointed those individuals to the Senate he had in his mind - lets see who I can appoint to ensure that there's a scandal. Guess he needed to be a mind-reader! NO ONE - not one person - objected to his appointment of Duffy and the others involved in this. They did it all on their own. I don't doubt he was p.o'd!


3. The pollsters of late have been absolutely way off base in recent elections so even six weeks won't necessarily tell you what the end result will be.

I love reading common sense posts- you should post a lot more often. By the time Jr. or Mulehair get all the refugees over here, our tax bill will eclipse anything seen in Canadian history and our own indigent people will still be starving.

There is no democracy. Harpo is just a bag man for the ruling elite, the banksters and corporate owners of this country. George Carlin said it best and it applies to Canada as well:

Listen girl, our tax bill already eclipses anything seen in Canadian history in fact it can only be satisfied by ceding the actual physical entity to our creditors, an exorcise already being worked out behind closed doors by the TPP gang and you and I are not parties to the negotiation or details therein. The new owners already deny you any say in the governance of your former property and homeland.

ANd out numbered.

Don't democracy suck?

It can at times. Especially when the retards outnumber the rest of us by quite a margin. Fortunately the fight a lot amongst them selves over who is the biggest looser.

Only the fittest among us can live independent of the banking scum. Money grows on trees and schrubs. Yes they lied to you about that too. I just sent away a truckload of wooden money.
I sell truckloads of rock as well.

There can be good money in rocks. Especially when they are gold colored.

Voters in Canada's most populous province go cold on Conservatives


A senior Conservative deeply involved in the campaign says that as of now, a dozen Ontario legislators or more could easily lose their seats as support for the party in some parliamentary constituencies is set to drop by up to 15 percentage points.

The Conservatives took 73 of the 106 seats in the 2011 election, cementing Harper's first majority. The number of Ontario seats will increase from 106 to 121 this time as the House of Commons expands to 338 seats from 308.

Conservative voters say they are tired of the government after a decade in power and variously cite concerns about the sluggish economy, unhappiness over a scandal in Harper's office as well as increasing antipathy towards the prime minister and his take-no-prisoners political style.

Two senior cabinet members from the province said it was becoming harder to persuade people - including committed supporters - to vote for the party.

Labour Minister Kellie Leitch said the campaign in her Simcoe-Grey constituency north of Toronto was going "outstandingly well" but conceded that for some people, voting Conservative was "not a gut reaction any more".

Treasury Board Minister Tony Clement described the situation in his constituency of Parry Sound-Muskoka, about 200 km north of Toronto, as fluid and volatile and said some voters were genuinely grappling with what to do.

"All leaders have some millstones," he said in an interview, citing "the longevity of government" in Harper's case.

Although Clement did not mention Harper as an issue, others are less reticent. The senior Conservative Party source said campaigners were discovering widespread unhappiness with the prime minister, who critics accuse of being dictatorial.

I'm tired of the games and the mudslinging," said Terry Denbok, 40, a church pastor. Asked about Harper, he replied: "I'm just over him."

Denbok says he will not vote Conservative again and might back the Greens.

Others are mulling a switch to the Liberals led by Justin Trudeau or the NDP of Tom Mulcair.

"I've voted Harper for the last 10 years and I'm one of the guys considering Mulcair. This is insane," said advertising salesman Alf Ens, 58. "And I'm not the only one. I think Harper has pissed off a lot of people."

Ens said he was unhappy that Harper had adopted a strong pro-Israel stance in the Middle East.

"I'm not sure their own people will turn up. There is no enthusiasm for the Conservative campaign," said Ipsos pollster John Wright. "Ontario is in play."

It will be quite neat to watch the mal contents if Harper is gone and one of the goofs get in. If they think they've seen hardship, they ain't seen nothin' yet. :) :) :) :)
