The Tories are down almost seven points while the Liberals are up two. Harris-Decima chairman Allan Gregg said the NDP gain is most […]

Pollster Nik Nanos, who gets quoted in the media because he runs a polling firm, has no idea what his statistics about Canadians means. His latest poll shows that Canadians are fed up with minority government and have no faith in any of the leaders or parties. True. Apparently Mr. Nanos thinks this means that […]
