However I can’t confirm the numbers 100% since its hearsay from Ontario News Watch, but they say its an Angus Reid poll and it shows the Ontario Liberals in third place. Angus Reid (Ontario):Prog Cons: 34% – 46 seatsNew Dems: 31% – 32 seatsOnt. Liberals: 29% – 29 seats Greens:

Which is a shame, as noted in the last post’s comments. Forum Research: Parti québécois: 39% – 69 seats Parti libéral: 34% – 50 seats Coalition Avenir: 18% – 4 seats Québec solidaire: 6% – 2 seats Parti vert: 4% Forum has an odd habit whereby it shows both the

Léger Marketing’s monthly Quebec poll is out, and it shows… well, more of the same, really. It seems that the month-or-so between any major polling (excepting Forum) has not given new momentum to the CAQ, or the PQ, or the PLQ, really. Léger Marketing: Parti québécois: 33% – 72 seats

I’m unsure how many Canadians know of this site, but you must read it. It is probably one of the most hilarious memes I’ve ever heard of. This is my favourite: Kudos to Stacy Lambe and Adam Smith. Followed.

In 1993, the Progressive Conservative dynasty started by Peter Lougheed in 1971 nearly came to an end. After Lougheed’s resignation in 1985, Edmontonian Don Getty won the ensuing leadership election and took control of the province. Getty wasn’t too different in ideology from Lougheed, serving as the former’s Intergovernmental Affairs

These columnists keep annoying the heck out of me. Lysiane Gagnon’s article on the brewing Mali civil war is, to say the least, opinionated. It’s main point is that the intervention in Libya was bad, Canadians were wrong to do it, now it’s allowing an Islamist control of northern Mali

And thus the Orange Wave has finally landed upon our shores. I’m very certain that isn’t the right metaphor, but there it is. Leger Marketing, everyone’s favourite online-based Quebec pollster, has given the NDP their first-ever first place finish in a poll since 1987, as my co-blogger pointed out. While

This new ad from the NDP – in French only so far – is pretty clear: they want to show how Mulcair is “continuing” Jack’s work, by rolling up his sleeves. Sure, okay, that makes sense. May even be effective. I think it kind of looks weird but whatever. However,

As noted by my co-blogger Teddy, there was a federal poll released by Harris-Decima today which shows a close Con-NDP race with the Liberals far behind. Another poll from Forum Research, who released a poll just a week ago showing a tied race, now shows a very slight advantage for

Just today an in-depth poll from Innovative Research on voting intentions in Canada and opinions of the NDP leadership race, as well as something called the “Tory Universe” and other stuff, was put up, dated from March 21st. While this poll is a bit dated now, it’s still interesting, and

… is looking a lot like the old politics of the Conservatives: ..the New Democrats have still not let the Liberals respond to last week’s budget in the House of Commons and are going against tradition to use all of the response time themselves. When asked about the strategy after

Let me take you back to 1971, the last year when the political grounds shifted underneath Alberta with the election of Peter Lougheed‘s Progressive Conservatives over the dynastic Social Credit Party led by Harry Strom, but more famously led by Ernest Manning for decades before his resignation in 1968. In

He’s some Conservative-oriented hack who works as a “columnist,” and I use that word lightly, at the Windsor Star. Here’s what he had to say two days ago on the two budgets – Ontario’s and Canada’s: The Ontario budget of Finance Minister Dwight Duncan went short term, abandoning good sense
