Gotta wonder why Harper forced an election on us instead of working together with the other political leaders? Now Harper is paying the price for his lack of cooperation in a, can Harper spell, M-I-N-O-R-I-T-Y government. Harper has now wasted $300 million of Canadians hard earned money for this unnecessary election. Harris Decima Cons - 35% NDP - 30% Libs - 22% Bloc -

Leadership Index - what wins elections Obviously one shoe has dropped, it is now just a matter of time for the other shoe to drop. I forecast the NDP will very shortly lead the Cons in the polls. Date / Pollster / Layton / Harper / Ignatieff Apr 28 / Nanos / 95.3 / 83.2 / 34.3 Apr 27 / Ipsos-Reid / 45% / 42% / 13% Apr 27 / Forum / 33% / 32% / 14% Apr 27 / Nanos / 86.2 / 82.7 / 40.1

You're correct Rick. The Cons are all about attempted smears and attempted drive-by attacks. Fortunately for Canadians this time Harper & his party hacks are just shooting blanks.

Smiling Layton starts to pull away from angry Harper, and Jack has now opened up 12.1 gap lead over Harper. It's no wonder. Nanos Leadership Index, April 27 Layton - 95.3, Up 9.1 Harper - 83.2, Up 0.5 Ignatieff - 34.3, Down 5.8 Duceppe - 14.2, up 3.6 http://www.nanosresearch.com/election2011/20110427-LeadershipE.pdf

Who else is sick of the lies coming out of Harper's mouth? It is because of Harper that gas prices are higher than they should be.

Well said!

Due to the rumours started by the Cons that some Libs may cross the floor and join the Cons after Monday's vote, voters in their respective ridings would be well advised to get "I'm no David Emerson" signed commitments from Liberal candidates to ensure that Liberal candidates don't consider misleading Canadian voters before Monday's vote.

And why should we not have minority governments when no party has more than about 35% of the vote? The problem has been Harper's inability to work with others.

The problem for Dosanjh is that the East Indian community is split because a lot of them are not pleased with the negative publicity he has generated over the issue. But he doesn't care about that.

More ridiculous Conservative scare-mongering tactics which have zero basis in fact. Who do you think created Canada's massive deficits and debt? It's too late anyways now as most voters have decided by now and have switch to hockey and the royal wedding. Too bad.

NDP flirtation - I don't think so. The big question people are asking now is how much further are the Conservatives going to drop.

I think that supposed Conservative solid base of 35% is going to be sorely tested this election - we could be looking at perhaps 30% support for Harper by the time Monday evening rolls around. Harper is quite disliked, and a lot of voters vote based on the leader. Right now the polls are showing a drop for Harper and a continuing surge for Layton. The Conservatives have already given up any hope for a majority as reported on CTV and are now in crisis wondering if they will even get a minority.

Interesting that Harper is winning the battle but looks like he is losing the war by accomplishing his mission of destroying the Liberals. In the process he severely underestimated the NDP and has blown any chance for a majority, and probably a minority as well.

The cracks are continuing to show in the Cons solidarity. Believe me if I was that campaign manager I would tell Harper to keep away - mean, angry Harper is the kiss of death now. Smart fella.

A Liberal's lament. Kinsella is dead-on Harper & Ignatieff are just too right-wing for most Canadians. Time to throw the bums out. KCCCC Day 34: Orange Crush – ingredients and nutritional information Figuring out what the Libs and Cons did wrong is easy. And, one thing I will predict – entire forests will be felled, soon enough, to print up articles, essays and books which will analyze the reasons why the Reformatories (as even conservatives agree) and the Grits (in particular) did badly. But the Dippers? Wacko Jacko? That’s a lot harder to understand. Here are a few of my suggested ingredients in the Orange Crush. Jack Layton is likeable (and has few calories). He’s Taliban Jack, he’s Wacko Jacko, he’s all those things right-wing media call him – but he’s also the most likeable of all the federal leaders. Polls have been showing that for years, now they’re showing it at precisely the best possible moment for him. If the campaign has devolved into a great big HOAG contest – that is, “who is the one who is a Hell Of A Guy” – Layton wins, hands down. Iggy is quite likeable in person, in my opinion, but loses in a televised HOAG showdown with Jack. Harper’s people, meanwhile, had decided likeability didn’t matter – a decision they will come to regret, profoundly. Sixty-five per cent of the country dislike Stephen Harper. They needed to fix that, and they didn’t. Too late now! His party’s policies are irrelevant (and contain ingredients that are very bad for you). They have some not-bad policies – and they have some that are plain nutty (like reopening the Constitution, or multiple billions in promises that Jacko doesn’t know how to pay for). But, in the main, his party’s policies don’t matter. Canadians have decided they want to vote for someone they like, not for someone with the best policies. Jack, they like. Harper, especially, they don’t. The policy analysis of many Canadians: Harper and Ignatieff are too right-wing. I’m voting for the only guy who isn’t right wing. http://warrenkinsella.com/2011/04/kcccc-day-34-orange-crush-ingredients-and-nutritional-information/

Layton sure knows the drill - he is on one hell of a roll. Where it stops, nobody knows.

Wai Young lied - she's toast. I can just hear Harper now - fire that campaign worker, as he is exposing our lies. Tory attended two meetings with man acquitted of Air India bombing, campaign worker says http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/tory-attended-two-meetings-with-man-acquitted-of-air-india-bombing-campaign-worker-says/article2001661/

Layton is closing the gap - mean, angry Harper is so dead this election.

TB I hear you about Nanos, there is something weird going on there.

Well at least Nanos is now converging with the other pollsters - sure looks like Harper is heading for a train wreck on Monday nite. Nanos Research - 3 days ending April 27 Tory lead narrows to 6 points, NDP trending up Cons - 36.6%, Down 1.2% and Down 1.2% from 2008 GE and dropping NDP - 30.4%, Up 2.6% and Up 12.2% from 2008 GE and rising (only 6.2% out of first place) Libs - 21.9%, Down 1.0% Bloc - 6.0%, Up 0.2% Grn - 4.1%, Down 0.6% http://www.nanosresearch.com/election2011/20110427-BallotE.pdf

Layton's an interesting fella, and if elected prime minister will do a good job.

Layton is taking a big bite out of Cons support in BC.

Maybe for you, but not for the average working family.
