  1. As they say, “All is fair in love and war, and this ain’t love.”
    Where I live, Airdrie, the NDP signs say Tom Mulcair. No other name.
    I thought that was peculiar. Maybe there are 2 of’em.

  2. Now we’ve done it! We’ve frightened those Easterners so badly, every single one of them is going to vote this tine around.
    Liberals in a landslide in this Riding.

  3. It was 45% communist before we poked in our noses. This musn’t be the steady blue rural Ontario we keep hearing about. I keep forgetting, I have a commie MLA deep in true Tory blue rural Alberta.

  4. It’s only a poll scar…we are hi-jacking it (yay us!), and likely a Dipper hijacked it before us…
    Oct. 19 folks…that’s the only one that counts.

  5. OMG! I live in Barrie ( = Simcoe County). Nice to see them getting a wake-up call at the local rag we use to wrap the trash.

  6. “we are hi-jacking it”
    The internet term is ‘freeping it’.
    A practice started by Freepers from the Free Republic blog at the turn of the century.
    The folks running the poll may notice they’ve been freeped when they see that this poll has more voters than their previous ones by a factor of 10.
    It’ll probably be their next major story, after this one.

  7. 89.94% Tory. Poor Simcoe News, they are probably under the impression that they have an extra 900+ readers since last week.

  8. There’s nothing like voting with the herd and that is what these polls are about.
    If Simcoe News wants to deal in real political issues instead of hosting popularity contests, that is a different competition altogether.
    Until then, winning popularity contests are, from beginning-to-end, bout who can boost the popular vote on polls.

  9. I kinda expect the same thing will happen in the election. the lefties have been rubbing themselves silly at the polls that show the dippers in the lead, when the quiet silent crew walks in and pounds them silly in Oct, they’ll be like, where did that come from… I also believe it’ll be the Syrian invasion plans of the libs and dippers that’ll be the breaking point.
