As you might remember, in the last federal election, the nightly CPAC-SES tracking included leadership measures (trust, competence and vision). One year later, SES and CPAC have completed a follow up leadership evaluation. […]

OOF! Way down from PAUL MARTIN?!?!??!? That is a serious punch in the gut for Dion and his sycophants. The Liberal Party is in free-fall. At least he has a winning strategy – ban qualified men from seeking nominations, and watch those disillusioned party faithful leave their money and grass-roots supporters at home…
The country understands that Dion is out of touch, impossible to understand, and possibly delusional.
Somewhere, Stephane Dion just spit out his oatmeal.
Hey Cherniak! How long are you gonna stay in the stagecoach?? Looks like you guys got a runaway. I wouldn’t wait till the coach goes over the cliff.
Expect to see a lot of old Liberals retiring next election. Some more may move over to the Conservatives, although I’m not sure I’d accept them if I were Harper. I’d be spoiling for a fight. Nothing quite like turning down the alley and finding the local bully with a broken arm and leg.
I think the timing would be perfect for Harper to make the Y2Koyoto vote in the house a confidence vote…then watch the Libs back track…FAST!
And yet, every one of those questions reveals that a large majority of Canadians supports a party that is either predominantly socialist, environmentalist, separatist, or as with the Liberals, statist and corrupt.
Not a pretty snapshot of our dominion.
Yep Chip it is not a pretty snapshot of our dominion. No more pretty than a kid raised on a reserve with a serious alcohol and drug problem.
Canada’s kind of like that. Too many people have been raised on Liberal garbage. Good folks, but they just have never been exposed to anything better.
Me thinks that’s about to change.

In keeping with “you can’t see the forest through the trees,” I guess it was hard for the delegates at the LPC leadership (sic) convention to see the stinker through the Turd(opian)s.
‘Looks like the smell has overcome quite a few…
“Not a pretty snapshot of our dominion.”
ya can’t change 40 years of Trupeaupianism in 1 year of minority government.
Vive la revolution !! Vive el PMSH !!
Very nice news. And well deserved.
Where do the 13% come from who think Taliban Jack is competent? Hamas get into the poll?
You’re right on the money people, change has to be slow and steady. It’s going to take time to ween Canadians off the government teet.
The liberals are blaming the re-runs for their fall. Have they ever acknowledged that the fall was just waiting to happen. They prefer to blame the tv spots, because they can’t face the fact they made a tsumami mistake last December.
They can’t take the responsibility they goofed.
Who will win in the game of chicken in the HofC this week.
RE: -Where do the 13% come from who think Taliban Jack is competent-
Hate to say it but my guess would be BC. Besides Sask., it is a Western province with way too many dippers and Libs sucking off its labour and resources. Many left wingers have moved there from the East. For the climate change. ;0) And there are lots and lots of immigrants clustered in ‘key’ ridings in the lower mainland.
Moving BC to the right is always a challenge. And Conservatives in BC are not always the pick of the litter. The BC Conservatives really need to pick it up in the next election and run some better candidates.
….and not a blip in the MSM about this, with the exception of an obscure blog on CTV.ca. Anyone who denies the pro-Lib bias of the national media is delusional.
watching ctv news last nite in regards to the polls they mentioned dion was up 2% for most trustworthy must be using lieberal math
yes,. Dion is 2% more trustworthy that Dion. The way Kate wrote the poll up: Harper, Duceppe and Layton’s numbers are +/- change from previous. And Dion and May are listed next to the % that their previous leader scored (not +/- change).
Its funny tho, that ctv would consider Martin a high water mark to compare Dion to….
whoops.. too much coffee this morning. “Dion is @% better than Dion” should read “Dion is 2% better than Martin”
I am much enjoying seeing Harper up in the polls and the other 3 parties down. 🙂
i think the poll actually means the martin /dion stats are actually down 18%, meaning martin was at 38%. can’t understand how ctv can sasy dion is up 2%, thats the lieberal math. hbw
Hey, I thought polls were front page material. Or maybe that’s only if they support the “front page’s” agenda…
News to me.
Haven’t watched much news lately, except for CBC, which is probably why this is news to me.
I’ve been reading this blog for some time now and, while somewhat prepared by this, I was shocked by the level of bias in your media and misinformation among the Canadians I met on a recent visit. I thought the US had a problem with these issues but I have to acknowledge that you have a much steeper hill to climb than we do!
Good luck to you all.
