Ekos, Forum and Mainstreet are getting similar results.

Aggregates show a Conservative minority right now and they will need a huge boost to get anywhere near a majority.

Conservatives may do very well as undecideds make up their mind on election day. Undecideds traditionally vote for the Devil they know!

Danny Williams says Stephen Harper's tactics are borderline racist

Former Newfoundland and Labrador premier Danny Williams says some of the tactics of Conservative Leader Stephen Harper are borderline racist.
Williams, who led a Progressive Conservative government in Canada's most easterly province from 2003 to 2010, launched his latest scathing attack against Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada on Sunday during an interview with CBC News.

Scared Yet? How Fear Hijacked Campaign 2015

Harper lobbed three 'dead cats' to make us forget the Duffy trial. It's working.



What do you do when you're six weeks from the biggest election of your life, your party is mired in scandal and shedding candidates almost daily, while you're trailing behind a bearded socialist and the son of the man you hate most in Canadian political history?
If you're Stephen Harper, you clean house, hire the most-successful Conservative strategist in the world, and pledge to ban the niqab, restrict refugee claims and set up a tipline for Canadians to report "barbaric cultural practices."
And now, with two weeks until election day, you're back in striking distance of another majority government and no one is talking about $90,000 cheques from your office to a sitting senator you appointed.
Lynton Crosby, Stephen Harper's lead campaign strategist is credited with pulling the Conservative campaign out of the weeds. One charming name to describe their path to victory? The "dead cat strategy." Boris Johnson -- a once client of Crosby and current mayor of London, England -- attributed the phrase to an unnamed "great campaigner" and described it thusly:

Boyoboy, you all seem to place a lot of faith in polls. I wonder how many other people in Canada do like hubby and I and lie like blankets to pollsters.

Won't happen now Cliffy. Harpo has the trade deal going for him and Mulehair was in high dudgeon on the noos tonight.

Don't matter - one person's lie likely cancels out another person's lie.

I think what it all boils down to Anna, Tom Mulehair ain't Jack Layton and until Jack Layton arrived on the scene Gilles Duceppe had a pretty strong hold on Quebec and methinks he may be reclaiming some of it and Jr. is probably reclaiming seats that Ignatieff couldn't hold.
