Better check the polls again. At least for now the liberals arent as safe as they thought they were.
I've been keeping an eye on the polls, yballa. The Liberals are out in front, especially in Ontario.
Geez what a surprise Ontario is going to vote the Libs back in :roll: Nice national election we got
Hi. I also live on Vancouver Island, but I thought Nanaimo-Cowichan went to the NDP last time.
Being my first time voting in any election because I thought the NDP won, I was going to vote for the NDP this time.

according to This site Nanaimo Cowichan is a NDP riding and will stay that way after next election. The NDP won Nanaimo/Cowichan by over 6000 votes in 2004. Jean Crowder won that riding for NDP in 2004. .
Maybe you meant Nanaimo/Alberni which went Conservative last time? and according to above link is too close to call. If it is too close to call vote NDP *nudge nudge wink wink* seriously though, vote for who you want to, just vote.

from the link:
* In Ontario, the Liberals (47%) are up 6 points, while the Conservatives (28%) are down 6 points - the Liberals now have a 19-point lead on the Conservatives in this key province.
* In British Columbia, the Conservatives (33%, +6 points) have gained while both the Liberals (33%, -2 points) and the NDP (25%, -5 points) have slipped.
* The Conservatives (31%, -11 points) are down in Saskatchewan/Manitoba, as the NDP (34%, +12 points) have come on strong.
Seems Ontario is going to elect more Liberals this time, why the Con slip in Sask/Man? It will be tight in BC but that could change.
I thought this part was interesting as well:
When those who say they do not plan to vote for Stephen Harper and the Conservatives (those who plan to vote for Liberals, NDP, Bloc Quebecois, or Green Party) are asked why:
* 26% say "because they don't like Stephen Harper the Conservative leader";
* 48% say "because of the policies of the Conservative Party"; while
* 22% have some other reason for not voting for the Conservative Party.
Obviously people do not like Harpers policies or Harper themselves. The cons need fresh faces and fresh modern ideas to be seriously considered as an alternative to the liberals.
Lastly The Cons tv ads are not making much of an impact:
Among those who have seen the recent Conservative Party TV ads, most (58%) say that the ads have had no impact as to whether or not they are going to vote Conservative -- a further 25% say the ads made them "less likely" to vote Conservative. However, one in seven (15%) feel the ads will make them "more likely" to vote Conservative.
The Conservatives need better advisors and PR people, and a new leader as well.

If you read my last two posts, you will see that the Liberals have been in the lead since the election was called. Every party has moved up and down but the relative positions have pretty much remained the same. On the other hand the last poll you posted puts the NDP in the lead. That would be good. I don't know if that was a slip or if it is something we might see. We'll find out.
PS - I think it might have been a typo.... :wink:

Man I wish some of those fringe parties would get elected, and maybe the NDP and Greens get into power. It would make for some lively debates.
It would make for some lively debates, Papachongo. It would also release us from the stranglehold of myopia and greed that the corporations have on this country.
