A new release from them today literally had the Bloc registering votes in Ontario (!!!) and the NDP (terminal as they are) trailing Max (!) in the Atlantic and Quebec. They also way oversampled flyover country relative to its population and underrepresented Quebec and Ontario. I don't know why they're still taken seriously. Their numbers are basically flinging shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-20682641664017158022019-09-11T11:30:56.161-04:002019-09-11T11:30:56.161-04:00I just saw a new Léger out this morning and it sho...I just saw a new Léger out this morning and it shows a smaller Liberal lead in Ontario. The trend emerging seems to be that the level of bullishness on the Liberals varies with the method used for the poll. Mainstreet, Nanos and Ekos all use IVR, and show double digit Ontario leads, while Léger, Abacus and others are Internet panels and show smaller Ontario leads or a tie. Not sure which is more accurate, but apparently the IVR ones had a better track record going into 2015. In any event, the fact that they're leading at all in the most important provinces is good. I really, really hope it holds.Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-53078928785183256542019-09-10T18:46:28.632-04:002019-09-10T18:46:28.632-04:00Hi Jackie....I don't think we will get a reall...Hi Jackie....I don't think we will get a really good fix on what's happening until the third week of the campaign.

Both are desperate to get back to power, and both have new leaders who need a win badly. Unless the Liberals can get a majority, election night could end up resembling a camel bazaar. How anyone can vote for the Cons after seeing what kenney and Ford are doing is beyond me. But we will use that against them..Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-55708400628390487872019-09-10T18:04:07.222-04:002019-09-10T18:04:07.222-04:00Hi rumleyfips....Yes, all that talk about the Gree...Hi rumleyfips....Yes, all that talk about the Green successes in Europe gave her delusions of grandeur, and she seems to have decided that she is going to play the Kinsella game. I think it's a mistake but who knows? The Greens will never have a better chance to become a major party, but whether they can do it that's another question. The Bloc on the other hand could cause problems, because the bigot Bill 21 is capable of fuelling major growth...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-89721479900017543722019-09-10T17:48:53.914-04:002019-09-10T17:48:53.914-04:00Hi Jackie....I'm not surprised, Elizabeth May ...Hi Jackie....I'm not surprised, Elizabeth May is a very religious person who once studied to be an Anglican minister.

Campaign Research was bad and now Innovative Research. Nanos continues to be a wild card. Mainstreet is out tomorrow and I hope theirs is better. But the rest are shit? Why are they slipping??? I may not even look at Poll Tracker or 338 until the writ drop, it's so upsetting.

May is only concerned with doing what it takes to maintain her tenuous hold on her power base. As a reformed Scottish street fighter once said "He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day", such is politics.<br />Although a bit of a stretch, an alliance between the Reformacons and the Bloc is not out of the question. Both are separatist parties with no illusion or interest in controlling all of Canada. Although the march to the exit door might last for some time, Ontario would be squeezed in the middle and loose all of its political influence. Wonder if the Ontario Tories are starting to catch on. Kenney a staunch Conservative federalist defects to a provincial party with "its my way or the highway motto"and the federal leader of the opposition openly embraces his agenda as gospel without even bothering to point out some obvious flaws. Really strange for an aspiring federal leader but not for a Reformacon in Tory clothing. Victim to a wolf (weasel) in sheep's clothing, such is the fate of the innocent and those that refuse to see!<br /><br />RTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-52899036779122583162019-09-09T16:19:10.159-04:002019-09-09T16:19:10.159-04:00#ScheerWasSoPoorThat his abortion policy is Warren...#ScheerWasSoPoorThat his abortion policy is Warren Kinsella's hand-me-downs.Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-14852407569587465672019-09-09T14:52:20.166-04:002019-09-09T14:52:20.166-04:00Wornout is an anti-abortion fanatic.

Fournier says the lead is "tenuous" for the Liberals. Éric Grenier reported this morning that the BQ is the real dark horse in this campaign and why <i>Pierre Trudeau's son</i> has no choice but to risk the TVA debate in skeptical nationalist territory. Other than that, this is a two-party race regardless of what the "competing narratives" might think. Simon is 100% correct. Outside a handful of ridings a vote for the Blue Greens (or as I call them, the Bloc Turquoise) is a vote for Scheer. Her stance on the abortion debate as she admitted on P&P should be the nail in her professional coffin. The only thing she has going for her over Lee Harvey Two-Face Scheer is that she admitted she'd let party members open the Pandora's box. Vote AB(G)C and avoid at all costs.Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-77398317366992288482019-09-09T12:55:57.768-04:002019-09-09T12:55:57.768-04:00More Lizzie fan mail : https://frankmag.ca/2019/09...More Lizzie fan mail : https://frankmag.ca/2019/09/literary-review-tom-mcmillan-and-the-curse-of-elizabeth-may/.<br /><br />Magpie brule if just as unimpressed.<br /><br />I guess Kermit was right ' it' not easy being green '.rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-74929660174785492952019-09-09T12:51:48.203-04:002019-09-09T12:51:48.203-04:00OH MY GOD SIMON YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!
