Exactly. They may be below the Green Party by then.

Ignatieff were tied with the CPC and led them a number of times in early 2009, as well as a couple times after. No different then the NDP now.

The fact that the NDP gained nearly 20 percentage point in the matter of a few weeks last year means that IMO predicting an NDP majority three years before an election is just simply idiotic, sorry.

And Charest is back on top. http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/08/22/quebec-liberals-take-lead-over-pq-after-weekend-leaders-debate-poll/

Remember when Ignatieff and the Liberals were leading the Conservatives in the polls and he was on his way to being Canada's next Prime Minister?

Forum Research tweeted that the Liberals are back in the lead, and that François David won the first debate.

I heard he did excellent, he also seems to be the best candidate.

The party plans on capping the amount of debt a candidate can build up during the leadership race. http://www.hilltimes.com/news/2012/08/17/liberals-to-cap-debt-limit-on-leadership-campaign-says-caucus-chair/31855

Why?

Forgot the oil sands, here come the iron sands (hopefully)! http://bit.ly/SEmbFm

And as you said interest rates are now low that it makes it a lot more affordable.

That's the Progressive Conservative message.

A long but interesting article on Justin Trudeau. http://o.canada.com/2012/08/17/electrifying-and-elusive-justin-trudeau-quietly-mulls-his-political-destiny/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

There's also talk that the power could be used in Atlantic Canada. I'm not sure what evidence the opposition have of their being no market in the US. The NDP and Liberals want natural gas explored as a power option for us, as well as wind, and say that the US can use natural gas which will be cheaper for them.

Nalcor will sell to "spot" markets in the US. Opposition say there is no market in the US for the power though, and the added expense of the maritime route makes the power more expensive.

Probably not. The Ontario market seems to be more secure then the American market.

Except it costs a fortune and it won't provide energy to Ontario who wanted it.

Newfoundland and Labrador is willing to pay Wuebec for the use of their power lines, and proposed building new lines but that would effect the monopoly Hydro Quebec is trying to secure with regards to hydro power. Hopefully Quebec will leave Canada soon!

A little different with regards to that, Muskrat Falls is more beneficial for Canada IMO. However, BC and Quebec are still using their geography to disadvantage other provinces.

My point is BC is talking about not letting a pipeline travel from Alberta through BC, just like Charest won't allow cables from NL travel through Quebec for the Lower Churchill. Quebec eventually allowed power cables from the Upper Churchill to go through their province, except they decided after a deal was negotitated and construction had started that they wanted to renegotiate and a second contract along with the first one. Due to Brinco's financial situation, which Hydro Quebec had insider knowledge on, they basically had no choice but to sign whatever.

As in win?

Yes because Garneau is the only one to struggle with his seat.

What's wrong with Garneau?

Marc Garneau seems ready to launch his bid.

Care to elaborate?
