He said the oil sands was responsible for the high dollar and killed the manufacturing sector. Like Harper he's into divisive politics.

They are. The high oil prices drove the dollar up, which killed the competitiveness of our manufacturing sector. I'm not sure what's so controversial about that.

Can you show any evidence of such trend?

For the most part the Liberals have been poling higher then the NDP did between 2008 and 2011 and they ended up coming within a few points of government last May. A Liberal majority may be a bit out of reach though seeing the party stands for nothing.

Why is an specific date important to you Derek?

Why are you ignoring the trend?

Better yet why are you ignoring the impotent conservative trends in the polls?

If we went back and looked at the polls in spring 2007, would you have predicted a Conservative Majority four years later?

The Day will be Tuesday, maybe a Monday... definitely not a Friday, thursday is nice...

Oh ok,Derek was asking me the day of the week.

I guess when you know you are getting laid off you would be very concerned as to what day it was going to happen so you can start circulating your resume.

Yeah that worldwide recession and demands by union for more more more had nothing to do with it. It's all Ralph Klein's fault, maybe the NDP will campaign on holding a referendum to kick Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador out of Canada seeing our economies are ruining life for Ontarians and Quebeckers.

What are you even talking about?

First of all, I didn't say the recession had nothing to do with it.

Secondly, I didn't blame Ralph Klein, nor the oil sands.

I am not sure.You have to look at the official opposition.How was the official opposition doing?How were they trending?

As I recall they were not doing that good.They had their ups and down but the bad thing for them was that they couldn't capitalize on their ups and the conservatives and NDP did the only capitalizing on their downs.

Fast forward several years and now we have a different field with different players that can play hard ball with the conservatives and punch hard?

Not so much fun anymore being a conservative is it?

I’ve no problem “being a Conservative”, have been one for as long as can remember…….And with all honestly, a few months prior to last years election I was doubtful they’d have won a majority…….Boy was I wrong…….None the less, I don’t have crystal ball that see’s that far….
