Bye, bye Harper. Confident Layton tours Tory ridings in B.C. as orange tide rolls on Jack Layton will try to do a little poaching today, working a pair of Conservative-held ridings in British Columbia, where polls suggest NDP support is growing. At a stage in the campaign where his predecessors would have been looking to shore up support on key NDP constituencies, Layton is on a foray into what once was enemy territory. His schedule isn't that of a leader trying to hold on to seats; it's for someone looking to pick off new ones. The growing orange tide shows no signs of ebbing in the final days of campaigning for Monday's election and Layton is trying to make the best of it. He will be in Kamloops in the British Columbia Interior and then in Courtenay on Vancouver Island. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5jDJZLLmsjsMZp_iYtR48E-Qmc5BA?docId=6702480

Wow, it can't get much better than this for Jack & the NPD. Members of the Bloc endorse NDP Des souverainistes passent dans le camp du NPD http://www.cyberpresse.ca/actualites/elections-federales/201104/28/01-4394435-des-souverainistes-passent-dans-le-camp-du-npd.php

Oh well, sometimes we outsmart ourselves.

Simpson has some connection with the Liberals so he is crying in his beer. Too bad fella, you backed the wrong horse.

So much for some of those Conservative seats in Quebec.

Bricker is full of it as usual.

What are we looking at here - 125 seats?

A lot of the Liberal votes will will coming over to the NDP on Monday for the ABC campaign.

Layton wants to protect and create decent jobs for Canadians. I call that representing the average working family in this country but you can label it whatever you want.

There is so much right-wing BS floating around here There has been NDP governments in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and possibly in the North as well, and none of these goverments have created such a financial mess as the Conservatives in particular, and the Liberals, who have put Canada into massive deficits and debt.

Let's sign some nore of those right-wing trade agreements so we can lose lots more good Canadian jobs. If you listened to the right-wing rhetoric you might think that without these trade agreements Canada wouldn't be trading with other countries.

Initially before the orange crush started I thought the NDP might have been able to win 70 seats. Now I think the NDP have a very good chance of coming first in number of seats Monday nite. I'm assuminhg Harper will be a man of his word, and that he was not just telling another lie, when he said the party who gets the most seats governs.

This is the kind of prime minister I'm looking for.

And after Monday Harper and Ignatieff as well.

Scary, eh!

That's correct. Harper musing about an NDP victory?

How's this for a seat projection? NDP - 115 seats Cons - 110 seats Libs - 65 seats Bloc - 18 seats

You're too funny! Actually TB I think you have quite a good handle on the Canadian political scene and I always appreciate your comments even if we do disagree on occasion. Seriously I have learned from you. Anyway no matter who end up with the most number of seats, they will have to seriously start taking the other parties into consideration from now on, as I don't think Canadians will put up with too much more of the BS we have seen coming out of Ottawa in the recent past.

Good catch. This probably means the more likely numbers for Harris Decima today are something like this: Cons - 33%, NDP - 32%, Libs - 20%

Seriously is there anything Harper does not lie about?

Not again!

Ever hear of the HST? Voters in BC and Ontario have. And we could have a two-tier price system for fuel. One for internal and one for export. There are lots of alternatives to giving the oil companies carte blanche to do whatever they want and not pay for environmental impact, etc. What about the heritage fund?
