If this poll is accurate it would seem to suggest that the opposition parties' shift to the right has been a monumental blunder. Harper has certainly taken the country there but, unlike the Liberals and the NDP who compliantly followed, the Canadian people, it seems, have stayed put which could plausibly explain the public disconnect with federal politics and the growing support for dissent and protest.
This should be a lesson, especially to the Liberals now looking for their next leader. With Trudeau, Garneau and Hall Findlay parked so comfortably up Harper's bitumen backside, it's time the LPC came to its senses and finally embraced a good measure of progressivism.
