or …

Keep those dreams alive.

The fact is, that while the Liberals promise things, they never deliver – instead we get , as you say, Shawinigate, the HRDC boondoggle, the overinflated Gun registry, Adscam therGrand mere affair etc. and you name it. Essentially, and based on their record to date, the LPC seems as much a criminal organization as it is a political one – no wonder they took so long to come up with anti-gang legislation – they had to figure out how to bring it in so they weren’t going to be caught up in it. But I digress…

Those in the center keep talking about “Separation” as though Quebec is some necessary part of it. Quebec is convienent, but not necessary – the west has bankrolled Canada for decades at about 244 billion per year while Quebec eats up about 16 of that. I have family back there and I enjoy Quebec – but it isn’t the center of the universe any more than Toronto is. Those in the west that are looking at their own version of Separation are very, very different from Quebec. They have no intention of holding Canada hostage, which has always been Quebec’s intention becuase it continued to work very well for them. In part because they don’t need to, the West is not in the same game and as each Liberal over the last decades coldn’t drop a writ without degrading Alta they listened. When the stupidity of the coalition of idiots came out there was a subtle shift in the mindset. (The press at the time called it “seething rage”) and it wasn’t nice conversation about how they could get more money out of the center. The Liberals have given up the North and screwed the rest of the country and its going to be interesting if the screw ups can be reversed. Frankly I’m not sure if Quebec will accept Canada becuase its in their economic interest to do so (those that wish to be Emperor of Quebec dont’ care about the economics) or the west will evict everything east of Manitouba, but for the next decade or two, they better hope for leaders from the west that can defuse the emotion that the idiots ignited or there will be new borders being drawn.

Every time the Libs and the press complain about the “attack adds” on poor Mr. Absentee, I think of the way they went after Stockwell Day, and smile. The Conservatives learned from that and now -when the press won’t investigate, discuss or debate, the Conservatives will even if it takes their own money. While it isn’t illegal, voting for the LPC should be morally considered an act of disloyalty to Canada. They seek power for powers sake – if not they would have instituted their platforms or at the very least – tried to move on them as Harper did. For once we have someone with integrity to lead the country – even if he has to go to the states to get a viable interview – but in what were probably the only true words Trudeau ever said “The incompetance of the press is matched only by their nastiness”, maybe the next generation of them will not be so programed by the LPC – The Lying Party of Canada”

Remember, the pollsters are smarter than you.

But here's the latest

“Minority government possible for Liberals, poll suggests
Survey indicates Ignatieff's party would top Tories in election tomorrow

Harper preferred as PM choice
The news is not all encouraging for the Liberals, whose leader, Michael Ignatieff, trailed Conservative Leader Stephen Harper when respondents were asked who would make the best prime minister.
Thirty per cent chose Harper, 26 per cent opted for Ignatieff … “

Now let's see one of the questions asked
http://www.cbc.ca/news/pdf/0779-june1-ekos-cbc-…
Q. All things considered, would you say the COUNTRY/GOVERNMENT OF CANADA is moving in the right direction or the wrong direction?
May 7-28 2009 (results June 1)
55% Right direction 35% wrong direction 11% don’t know (COUNTRY)
46% right direction 42% wrong direction 12% don’t know (GOVERNMENT OF CANADA)
How do those figures compare with last April?
http://www.cbc.ca/news/pdf/political-update-res…
Apr. 8-13 2009
47% right direction 41% wrong direction 12% don’t know (COUNTRY)
38% right direction 49% wrong direction 13% don’t know (GOVERNMENT OF CANADA)

Has there been a change from April to June? Yes.
8% surge in approval rating in both “the country and the government are going in the right direction” ratings.
