Very scary! We can't afford the NDP.

3 months is an eternity in politics but I think Harper is sunk. Too much stacking up against him. Senate scandals, MP's jumping ship, and the economy going downhill. NDP has trended up for weeks and CPC trended down. There hasn't been any good news in weeks. I think we're screwed.
I wonder how long it will take for Mulcair to appoint Buzz Hargrove and Syd Ryan to the Senate? I wonder if JT will throw a tantrum and scoop up all his toys and leave the sandbox or will the Liberals stab him and appoint yet another loser? Either way, I think Harper is done. What is also troubling is I don't see anybody in the PC party to step in quickly and effectively.
Mulcair will increase income taxes, introduce Carbon taxes, increase the HST, increase the size of government, increase the budget at the CBC. All of which will be negative to the economy and erode the private sector. He's in his 60's so realistically likely doesn't want to work another 10 yrs, one mandate will be enough to feed his ego and set him up financially. I feel sorry for my kids. Who knows, Maybe I can learn to like black olives.....Opahh !!!!!!

I think we'll see some pretty wild gyrations in the next while leading up to the election. Everybody and their uncle will come up with poll after poll to try and advance their own agenda. Despite protestations to the contrary,all polls are deliberately skewed to read the way the pollsters want.

Threehundredeight.com is not a poll though. It's an aggregate of all polls in the field. This guy is very credible.

Wild gyrations, wild speculations, wild exaggerations.... usual. The media coverage will be what sink Harper if anything, Wynne thanked CBC for it's help after the win and Trudeau and Mulcair have both promised CBC millions more. The Senate, all the big spenders are Liberal but they talk about Duffy endlessly, economy... just think what a Liberal or NDP gov't would do to that! The attacks and distortion are just starting from CBC, the Liberals and the NDP. They will do anything to get power, heck they took Eve Adams and we can see the fear mongering and lying on C-42 and to win... they will use any tactics for sure to gain power.... and lying and fear mongering worked in Ontario with CBC running as campaign promoters so????

I've posted this before about the Liberals fear mongering and lying but here it is again. (C-42_

Justin Trudeau said
“First, it eliminates the need for owners of prohibited and restricted firearms to have a transportation license to carry those guns in their vehicles. This means they could freely transport handguns or automatic weapons anywhere within their province, whether to a grocery store or a soccer field.


MP's leaving, I think there are likely still more leaving too and they are waiting on what they see in the polls. Many see a big advantage to leaving now and getting the option of an early retirement and higher pension. (55 instead of 67, future MP's will pay more in contributions etc.) Harper's changes to make the pensions fair to Canadians but it also takes some of the gravy off the political gravy train. To be honest If I was in their position it would be hard pressed to want to stay, retiring at 55 instead of 67, that wait 10 more years for a pension, the uncertainty etc. Why would you want to stay if you had already maxed your pension and could get it 12 years earlier.... especially if it looks like you might end up being in the losing party. (Imagine being in gov't with another Trudeau as Prime Minister, especially after the messes the first one created)

That makes 33 Conservatives MPs who have either left or plan to leave, in addition to 14 New Democrats, five Liberals and seven others who won't be running again, for a total of 59 exiting incumbents, according to a tally on PunditsGuide.ca.

So,if you "aggregate" a whole bunch of BS,the net result is still BS,right? I don't believe Canadians are prepared to destroy the country. I'll give them far more credit for intelligence than that,especially after the glaring example of Ontario and Alberta.

I can totally see this country voting in an NDP government.

Lots of the country hate the Conservatives, because they've been told to hate Conservatives. Lots see through the Liberal's BS. I think there are lots that want change. They see the economy sinking, and blame the conservatives on a reliance on oil, they see job losses in the West and they want change, hence the Alberta NDP government.

It started in the last federal election where barmaids and students were elected over...more qualified candidates...not because of who they were or what they knew or could do, but more because of who they weren't...That's my take on it.

Hold on this is going to be a bumpy ride.

FW... you are likely right. That's how Ontario ended up with Boob Rae ! The latest pole still has Harper as the favourite PM, not by much, but still in the lead!!
