Are you ready for a new government?

I watched Trudeau today. He even LOOKS like there is nothing between his ears. Vacant. Lights are on but nobody is home.

I can't wait to see him in a debate with Harper and Mulcair.

He can't even handle himself in the House.

Even his supporters admit is isn't very good in the House......completely incompetent.

Now, that leaves the question: How much do you have to hate Canada to support an incompetent moron as Prime Minister??

And there is only ONE incompetent moron leading a major Canadian political party.

And it ain't Harper.

While it may be dangerous to totally ignore him, I think he's just a flash in the pan and the more he talks, possibly the shorter the flash! -:)

It's clear that Trudeau will separate the old, angry people into Harper's camp which will work in his favour just like it did for Wynne against Hudak and just as it is working for Tory against Ford (s).

Harper is hardly a crack-smoking obscene ward politician.

The old angry people are the ones that have been around long enough to recognize a dangerous imbecile when they see one.

Show a little respect. :)

Those were the same ratios before the Liberals got their majority in Ontario.

Eligible + likely voters ÷ party preference = Huh?


We've been told for months now that the Justin Trudeau-led Liberals have taken a considerable, almost shocking lead over the Conservatives, a putative fact that has spawned a veritable cottage industry of idle speculation among journalists about whether or not Stephen Harper will resign.
By the numbers,
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and his party have widened their public-opinion lead over the ruling Conservatives in the past few weeks, according to a new poll by Forum Research. Liberals were the preferred party for 39 per cent of poll respondents, compared to 31 per cent for the Conservatives and 19 per cent for the New Democratic Party.​
That was in June. About a month later, on July 25,
According to a survey from Forum Research released Thursday, the Liberals have widened their lead over the governing Conservatives to 16 points. Forum has the Grits at 44 per cent support, followed by Stephen Harper's Tories at 28 per cent and Thomas Mulcair's NDP at 18 per cent.​
A more recent report put out by EKOS on August 10th showed the Liberals ahead by 13 points:
This poll...(reinforces) the notion that the now profound lead enjoyed by Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party is far from a blip.​
Fast-forward to yesterday:
September 30, 2014 - Support for the Liberal Party of Canada increased slightly over the summer and is now tied for support with the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) among likely voters, according to the latest monthly poll from Angus Reid ..​
So, just to straighten things out: According to various polls, the Liberals led the Conservatives in June by eight points, and widened their lead to sixteen points (44% to 28%) in July. Their current 33% support, which ties them with the Conservatives among likely voters but puts them ahead by three points among eligible voters, is a three-point increase in support since June.
Hope that clears everything up.


Eligible + likely voters ÷ party preference = <em>Huh?</em> - Small Dead Animals

There will be goodies and there will be some sway however this is becoming an
election of throw them out and not so much even about issues. Conservatives
had a majority and the promised land didn't happen for everyone so they need a
new promise and a new promised land. I am watching with interest and listening
for a change, as I won't be voting for Harper but I also have doubts about the other
guys as well. I won't vote Green and Harper did what he said and I don't like the
direction he's going so Mulcair or Trudeau it is a rock and a hard place for sure.

I hear you, but sometimes you just have to hold your nose. All we'll get from the Dippers is more debt and fewer people pulling their weight. We saw what happened when Pierre was at the helm - he turned a few $million surplus into $400 billions in debt, so I figure Jr. at best will just be a watered down version of the old man. We pretty well know the seniors will lose the advantage of income splitting with either the Libs or the Dippers.

The problem is the Conservatives have amassed bigger deficits and more debt
than even Trudeau did. Actually I don't think income splitting for Seniors will be a
thing of the past with Mulcair, its some of the other stuff that bothers me.
Harper is on the way out but who is next and what course will they take remains
to be seen

How it all plays out will be interesting, but I think when all is said and done not very much will change. N.D.P. will probably lose 50 seats and the Libs may gain about 50 seats and that will be about it.

It will likely be a Conservative minority.

I look forward to the coalition.

Safe bet. Coalition will be tricky since currentlythe libs really don't have much support west of Ontario. Leadership changes in either party would turn things upside down but I expect the libs to chearfully go down with their messia.
