A poll reported on Monday evening suggests the Conservative Party of Canada is well ahead of the Liberals, while the New Democrats have fallen well behind.
The Ipsos Reid poll, commissioned by Canwest News Service and Global National and published by the Vancouver Sun, indicates that Stephen Harper's Conservatives enjoy the support of 39 percent of committed voters.
The poll gives the Liberals 30 percent, up two points over an August 21 poll. The NDP is at 12 percent, down 2 points, as are the Greens at 8 percent.
The Bloc Quebecois has 9 percent of the vote, while 7 percent are undecided.

yeah Iggy
is running the same campaign M.O. James said she would - civil, making the debate tone down, blah blah that killed her.
He better start showing exactly what he wants to do about the deficit or he is gone, I am afraid.
He said no new taxes and would slay the deficit but the only way that is possible is if he legalizes pot.
Any idea on the chances of that happening..?

Who cares if Iggy wants an election or not?
He doesn't have enough seats to stop one or force one.
If that poll can be believed, and let's face it it can't because its a Can-West poll, then Harper would ride to victory with a huge majority.
And then he could do to Canada what Campbell has done to BC, bankrupt it for decades.

Another Rogue poll by
Another Rogue poll by Canwest and Ipso's.
On Aug 27 they had another rogue poll that showed Harper much higher than everyone else. http://www.vancouversun.com/Harper+Tories+open+lead+over+Liberals+Poll/1923723/story.html
Ipso's has a history of pro conservative push polling so I would take this one with a grain of salt..

Sure lets have an election.
Sure lets have an election. The guy running with a minority government is no freind of the working middle class family, or the old, the poor or the disabled. Get rid of the clown.
