I think we can still do better here,

I'm looking for the Libs under 20% and the Dippers under 10%

[mustardman]

I think the issues we can agree upon are:

Did we want the coalition to govern?
no

Under a constitutional democracy is this legal?
YES

Who was the architect of this Disaster?
HARPER

Would it be wise for Harper to fold his tent and ride off into the sunset?
YES

Will the cons gain seats in Quebec?
na na nana nana hey hey goodbye

Are there quiet rumblings and dissention in the conservatives over his leadership ? YES

[AdamSmith]

By a more than 2:1 margin, Canadians call for another election if the choice faced by the Governor-General were between inviting Stephane Dion to form a government and hold a fresh general election weeks after the most recent one. That is the key finding from a national representative poll completed December 4, 2008.

If an election were held today, Stephen Harper would win a large majority based on nation-wide support of 51% compared to 20% for the Liberals, 10% for the NDP, 6% for the Greens, and 8% for the Bloc. Harper would sweep seat-rich Ontario with 53% of the vote compared to 24% for the Liberals and 10% for the NDP in that province and would surpass Dion in Quebec with 32% of the vote compared to 19% for the Liberals and 35% for the Bloc.

Key factors in this lightening speed transformation of public opinion:

66% of Canadians oppose the Bloc Quebecois having a say in who forms the government;

48% have confidence in Stephen Harper as Prime Minister in the current economic climate compared to 14% for Michael Ignatieff in second place, 11% for NDP leader Jack Layton, 8% for Stephane Dion, 4% for Bob Rae, and 3% for Gilles Duceppe;

54% believe that the Coalition's real motivation was a power grab while 28% perceive the Opposition as honestly believing that Harper is a poor manager of the economy;

61% believe that the Liberals, following their drop in support in the October election, should not be trying to form a government.

Conservatives shouldn't be so quick as to count the next election a shoe in, for one the people in the east they are not so mad about the coalition they are mad that Dion is the leader that's going to be changed possibly sooner than the leadership convention. Here's a scenerio Goodale takes over as interim leader, harper calls election, Goodale is PM. The east is not looking at things the way we are out here.

And even out here this government has done nothing for agriculture in terms of policy development. They are way to extreme reform off to the right and it is obvious in the fact of their total "make it on your own" approach. Farmers in general don't want a free ride but they do want something effective in disaster situations and extreme cost or price situations that we are currently in. As example the northern Manitoba farmers that experienced severe flooding and lost crop, have no feed for livestock etc. There was supposed to be a disaster program in place promised by the conservatives, where the hell is it? And our ag minister stated he was baffled why the cais (agri-instability) was not kicking in for those farmers. Well gollee gee GOMER when you were in opposition you and all the other conservatives stated that cais wasn't working, when you had several years of poor margins to base your coverage levels at, maybe our minister should reread some of his own press releases when he was in opposition. They know dam well that program won't work but they don't want it to because as I said they could care less about individual farms cause to them someone else will do it. Well someone else will build cars also!!!!! If it wasn't for the CWB issue conservatives would be wiped clean off the map if the Liberals had any kind of leader that could speak decent english and show the slightest bit of respect for the West. As far as agriculture they are a one issue party.

[mustardman]

skhadenuf, you hit the nail on the head, the cons talk pretty good in opposition but when in power the only thing they do is stir the pot on the cwb issue to make it LOOK like they are doing something in Agriculture.

Will they look at railroad performance ? No they are their friends..
Will they look at price fixing on inputs? No its the free market and we must not disturb it.

All the bse money that mostly went to the packing companies. Who voted against looking at their books ? the cons.

The railcar coalition that gave farmers the right to buy and control hopper cars. Who voted against it ? the cons

[mustardman]

Oh ya I forgot the Cais program all they did was change the name to Agristability.

And how about the evil gun control laws , they sure have changed that NOT
