  • The BC-STV poll was commissioned by the "No" campaign, which I know has been accused of push-polling, so I'd definitely want to see the wording of the questions before I read too much into that.

    I guess it's hard for the Greens to keep people interested with no media exposure.

  • Interesting, but seriously how do the Liberal support base feel about the cat let out of the bag over at Stephen Taylor's blog by someone claiming to be in the loop that Joe Clark and Brian Mulroney speaking at the convention about nothing?

    Clearly that leaves an opening for the left of the LPOC to move over to Layton,no?

    At the same time Mulroney is being dragged into the old Schreiber thingy that the LPOC wanted to make him wear so badly.

  • Why would anyone with a brain have a problem hearing speakers of different political stripes? Why would anyone be afraid of that?

    It doesn't mean you agree with them - but this is Canada, free speech and thought and grown ups can listen to others.

  • I'm so glad we're finally ahead! I would love to arrest the Cons for the all the mismanagement they have done. They gave us the deficit didn't they?? I am looking forward to having Prmie Minister Ignatieff take control!! He will finally give us national daycare and maybe stop all the white people from coming to this country. We're supposed to be multicultural!!

  • There is no way Mulroney will be speaking at LPC convention. Not in a hundred gazillion years. Maybe Joe Clark, but I'd need some long odds to put money on that one.

  • Ian - Looking at the two polls, I trust the Ipsos methodology more. They just asked familiarity then support. The other poll asked a series of questions first about what you want in an electoral system, etc, etc.

  • I hope the federal Liberals defeat Harper, but also I hope they won't be useless like the Liberals here in New Brunswick under Shawn Graham where policy is written by the Irvings and rightwing think-tanks.
