Well, this is sure making the future look brighter.

However, I am saddened by this but this is just a poll.

Canadian voters don't change.

Conservative governance is on populist ideals which result in deficit and the Liberals steal our money. So you get two crappy governments. Both Con and Lib.

I guess people don't learn to vote NDP.

it's a poll it means just as much as the stuff on the bottom of my shoe

These polls are accurate.

 

[Jersay]

Not on election day. Someone could say they are going to vote for the Libs in a poll but decide to vote for someone else. And what about the people who don't take part.

Also, Finder, what's on your shoe??

What's on his shoe?
Brown or Blue?
Stinky pooh?
Or something you chew?

Yeah, and how exactly do you know that? Wishful thinking perhaps? Or are you god? :roll:


As for the poll, it looks like we're back where we started three months ago. Its practically the same as the election night results. I don't see that as an improvement, especially if the Conservatives continue to act as if they have a majority.

They will act as a majority for two very good reasons:

1. The Libs have no leader and are in debt. They do not want an election any time soon.

2. The NDP is in debt and has no leader...............oops, forgot about Smilin Jack.

There will not be an election for another year and a half to two years. Unless, of course, the unelected Liberal controlled senate decides not to pass legislation. Even the Lib senators cannot be that stupid, though, can they? Have another election at the whim of some has been liberals who have stayed too long at the trough? Yeah, I would like to go to an election on that premise. Hope they try.

wrong. Harper's going to call an election before the next full budget.

 

[Finder]

Well the polls do not matter because it is not taking into account the fact we havea fptp system, the fact that only a limited amount of people were asked and the fact the only poll which matters any is the one they do on election day. Every election you have different groups taking polls and the difference in numbers on the same day or time period is shocking at times.

before the last election they thought that the Liberals would form another minority from the looks of the polls.

You should know, bluealberta, that the Senate of Canada doesn't have the right to stop legislation that appropriates funds. To suggest that the Senate has any power to "force" the precipitation of an election is entirely untrue — any election, unless there is a failed want of confidence in the House of Commons, is going to be the wish of the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P., the Member for Calgary Southwest and the Prime Minister of Canada. If Mr. Harper decides to go to an election because the Senate rightly rejects a two-hundred-page piece of legislation that the Government of Canada wants to ram through the Commons in two weeks, then that just shows the contempt that this Government has for the Parliament of Canada.
