  1. What's wrong with corporations? Other than the fact that they employ about 90% of the workers in this country.
  2. Near deficit? That's why we're running a $2.9b surplus, well ahead of the ficsal year projection of $2.3b? And yes, lots of economists favour the Green Shift. Lots don't.
  3. The Economist endorses Harper: http://www.economist.com/opinion/displayst...ory_id=12381439
  4. Because they actually base their decisions on knowledge and issues? By the way, I've updated the list in the first post.
  5. Ottawa Citizen endorses CPC http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/views/...4f-2b00eba5d867
  6. The Windsor Star has endorsed the CPC, but I can't find a link to the editorial.
  7. Vancouver Province endorses Harper and urges a majority: http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/edi...49-58706fa0d773
  8. hehehe I really hope people who post this sort of stuff are after a quick chuckle and don't believe it.
  9. Defence Minister Peter MacKay is far ahead of Green Party leader Elizabeth May in the riding of Central Nova, according to a Metro Halifax/CTV poll. “At this point, just a few days from the election, it certainly looks positive for Peter MacKay,” said Craig Wight, vice-president of research for Bristol Omnifacts Research, which conducted the poll. MacKay has 39 per cent support. The battle for second place is tight, with May at 22 per cent and NDP candidate Louise Lorefice just behind at 19. http://www.metronews.ca/halifax/canada/article/123563
  10. Yep, someone else who lacks the intelligence or the will to understand. By the way, no party is objecting to this action.
  11. Yeah, but the CPC is up about 15% from 2005.
  12. The down 4 and up 4 is from SC's poll from late September. It doesn't indicate any recent trend.
  13. Is it 30, 50 or 80 days?
  14. I agree. He was the best in 08, and 06 too I think. Which is why I suggested he may be "Zogby'd" this tim around, and I gave my reasons. We'll see in the end!
  15. Umm, you already are. Do you even know why CMHC exists in the first place?
  16. I agree. The CPC did much better in 2006 than expected and I think it will happen again. If Quebecers are smart, they will elect MPs who can actually advance their interests.
  17. No, the way he presents his data, however, is completely biased. Just tune in to CPAC and see for yourself.
  18. What he said ^^^
  19. In 2006, the only major media outlet to endorse the LPC was The Star. The Star endorsed the LPC prior to the campaign. That one's not a surprise.
  20. Here here. Someone needs to put the Blocl out of their misery. I don't care who it is.
  21. And yet the CPC is likely to have seats in every region, including the North (Nunavut), after this election, with the LPC holding less than 5 seats west of Ontario. Who's more regional again?
  22. With all due respect, Nanos' bias to the LPC is rather evident.
  23. Latest polls have McKy up by nearly 20 points in Central Nova. Thankfully, she's not going to the HoC.
  24. No, you are missing the point. There is no additional servicing of debt by virtue of this transaction and there is no re-allocation of risk.
  25. My prediction is that Nanos will lose his credibility this election and pull a "Zogby". His overemphasis on citizens who won't vote, and his curious line of questioning which doesn't even list parties, are just two of the reasons. Plus, his Atlantic numbers in particular are ridiculous. Each party is seeing 5-10 point swings every night. Having said that, many polls are in the same range, though Nanos seems to be at the top of the LPC support. It could be a very close election in terms of overall popular vote, but as we all know that doesn't really matter. The underlying numbers on Nanos are interesting. At least according to him, and again I am skeptical, CPC is gaining significantly in Ontario, which is where this election, and its size, will be won.
