This had nothing to do with Federal politics. Quote
The_Squid Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 I didn't know Harper was running for Premier in Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick!!! hahaha Can he still be PM of a minority parliamnet while holding down these other 3 jobs??? The man is a GOD!!!! Quote

Yes i did indeed read the article and yes it's provincial, however there is a fundamental change happening in this Country and it's not in favor for the Lefties. It's only a matter of time when provincial spreads to Federal....when Toronto votes in a Conservative Mayor that should serve as a warning sign to Iggy......... http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/43427/conservatives-extend-lead-in-canada-as-stagnation-hits-liberals/ Quote

Look out Ottawa... Jack Layton is poised for a take-over!! http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/43395/bc-ndp-remains-ahead-as-campbell-drops-to-single-digits/ For the third consecutive month, practically half of decided voters and leaners across British Columbia (49%, +1 since September) would cast a ballot for the NDP if a provincial election were held tomorrow. The BC Liberals are in second place with 24 per cent (-1), followed by the Green Party with 13 per cent (=), and the BC Conservatives with eight per cent (=). Cuz, like, Provincial politics = federal politics, right? Quote
Evening Star Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Yeah, and AFAIK Danny Williams and David Alward are relatively centrist. Quote

Who was Mayor of Toronto and Premier of Ontario when Chretien was in power? Oh yeah, that's right, Lastman and Harris. Conservatives. Quote
Evening Star Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Like, in the Graham-Alward contest, Alward was the one opposed to selling off a public utility and increased tax cuts, right? Not exactly evidence of a shift to the right. Quote
wyly Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 and like the time when the NDP had four provincial governments including BC and Ontario and then extended that to a federal level! ...oh I guess that last part never happened, my mistake...

Topaz Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 I can`t really seeing the Tories getting a majority in the next election. Harper has had three chances and he`s lost on that bid. I feel most voters,not all, Harper does have his supporters, don`t trust his words, don`t like the way he`s spending money, the way he treated the Vets,how they don`t answer questions in QP, how they never take responsiblity for anything that goes wrong and the list could go on and on. Maybe, if Harper stepped down as leader before the next election they could win a majority but I doubt he would cause after all. ...its all about HIM. Quote

Just about every poll over the last two years has shown the same thing, that the Tories can't budge above the low 30s, and the Liberals are tailing them by a few points, close enough that neither the Opposition nor Harper is interested in an election.

Bryan Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 I can`t really seeing the Tories getting a majority in the next election. They don't need to necessarily. Successive minorities can actually be an advantage in that it can make the opposition crazy that they can't beat someone "so weak". Makes them tear themselves apart trying to overcome that without the benefit of the full term to rebuild that they would get if they lost to a majority. Quote
William Ashley Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Unfortunately for Iggy everything from the Gun Registry to Omar is going against him in the polls, Mr Harper is getting closer to the goal post everyday and i do believe this is going to be a good year for Mr Harper and Canada! A very good year indeed. http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/10/25/the-coming-tory-majority/ Oh, I thought this thread was about harper growing up and not acting like a preadolescent or atleast making decisions like one.

Alberta is one of few exceptions. Although alberta may loose tory blue and gain rose instead if any trend continues there. The election of a muslim left leaning academic in Calgary is perhaps one sign of that - the world turns??? Well see 2012 is only a 2 years off now --- it is likely a federal election will happen first though. Edited October 28, 2010 by William Ashley Quote I was here.

Trust me on this, the world as we know it will have changed before the NDP are ever elected as a federal government in this country. The Liberals on the other hand are indeed as much of a natural governing party as the Conservatives are. When there is a change the Liberals will indeed be back in power. Quote

Jerry J. Fortin Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 More, surely! That is not the point, it was not a partisan shot. My point was simply that alternatives exist and historical relevance is to be kept in mind. The pendulum always swings......... Quote

Wonder who the brain trust was, with that brilliant idea. Quote
