Why not let anyone in? This is now becoming ridiculous. http://www.cknw.com/Channels/Reg/NewsLocal/Story.aspx?ID=1403463

That blog is absurd.

Exactly. A lot of smoke and mirrors abound.

It's not realy a sleeper issue, as poll after poll has shown that protecting our health care system is the top issue for Canadians, but health care is definitely becoming another problem for Harper.

Most pundits agree that Harper stumbled during the French debate and it appears that it has been a slow downhill ride for Harper ever since.

When no party commands 50% of the vote what's wrong with a hung Parliament? Or don't you believe in democracy?

Not the best timing for more dissention to be brewing within the Conservative family.

Harper only got 38% of the vote, was only the leader of a minority government, so Harper should have accommodated one of the opposition parties enough to avoid an election. Harper acts too big for his britches. Thanks for making my point.

Harper must now be regretting triggering an election by not accommodating one of the three opposition parties in the budget. And Canadians have been watching Harper who did not have a majority government, trying to act like he does by bullying the opposition, and have said no thanks we don't want Harper to have a majority government. As a result we will be having another hung Parliament. Too bad for Harper that he never learned how to play nice.

Is that because he can BS just like Harper does?

Alberta governments have been hell bent on destroying the future of its citizens which is quite short-sighted and not necessary. Too bad.

It seems that our Canadian economy is based on short term gain for long-term pain. And that's quite shocking if no money has gone into Alberta's Heritage Fund since 1987.

What poll is this - links please. Thanks.

Of course the NDP is going to get glowing reports in the Globe. Lots of people living in denial it seems. Recent Quebec polling for the NPD Forum Research - 24% EKOS 23.7%

Harper wants to minimize the student vote. After what happened in Guelph Harper can now say: 'Mission accomplished'

Hate is such a strong word. Perhaps you might want to chat with August and ask him to stop using this kind of terminology as he just can't seem to let it go. How about 'disagreeing with Harper's policies' or even 'dislike Harper's policies' instead? However for someone to suggest they don't want a Harper majority, because they believe Harper's policies are wrong, is not an expression of hate.
