Liberals now pulling away from Cons into majority territory

I guess he has every right to dream as much as the next person. A year is a long time in politics.
God help us!!
This guy is a drooling idiot.
And come the election campaign, he won't be able to hide behind the CBC.

Not entirely his fault. He just doesn't have any concept of the real world and you'd have to be very leery of him trying to handle a crisis. "Fuddle Duddle" is past its expiry date. -
Fear not CON supporters.
Other than the 'evil weed' you won't notice much of a difference if the Libs win.........
Jetset Tories entitled to their entitlements, so the fleet of private jets remains in use
Former defence minister Peter MacKay, in early 2013, ordered that the majority of the aircraft, long cast as a symbol of Liberal excess by the Conservatives, be retired within the year as they reached the end of their service life.
But newly released memos, written last fall, show the plan was scaled back to the deactivation of just two planes — something the government waited until after Parliament recessed in late June to announce.
The jets have a storied history of being used as political footballs.
The Conservatives claim they've cut the use of the Challengers by 75 per cent compared with the Liberals, but it’s tough to verify those numbers.
National Defence was asked on Friday if it planned to decommission any more Challenger jets, and if not were upgrades planned for the two oldest jets to make them conform to new international standards.
In both cases the answer was, No.
"For the foreseeable future the intent is to maintain four Challenger jets," said Maj. James Simiana, an air force spokesman.

Cons have always promoted rampant consumerism, so it's no surprise that they are the first in line for a sense of entitlement.
I guess Dingwall was a Conservative even though he was a Liberal MP and cabinet minister.

It's only an advance poll, but still it could be a little disconcerting, until you think about it for awhile. Jr. is like most celebrities- a flash in the pan, strong possibly on personality but pretty much non existent in substance.
There's no flash in the pan here.
He has been leading comfortably over a year now based on the fact that most Canadians are rejecting Harper's policies.

Don't kid yourself, there is always the temptation to dream when there is no risk, when it comes down to the nitty gritty and people know they have to live by their decision, they usually do the sensible thing. What's happened in the past two days with Timmy's and Burger King makes Canada's excellent financial footing clear, which is the sort of thing our pensions etc. depend on. Jr. will be back to about 25% come election day.
Yea American companies buying us out is a clear indication of a thriving economy and Harper is known for maintaining our pension plans lol
Yeah, I think Jr. will have a tough time wrestling the seniors vote away from Harper and seniors are quickly becoming the majority at the polling booth.

He's not my buddy, but the NDP are still holding much higher ground in the polls than they did under Layton.
