Regardless of the outcome at tomorrow’s polls, in an environment in which a lie about a Conservative gets halfway round the world before the Liberals and their media bedpartners can finish their cigarettes — whose idea was it to put the pooping puffin crew back on the campaign payroll?
Open thread.
Two points. One, ground game folks. Ground game! Put out signs for your Conservative candidate today and early tomorrow morning, lots of signs, a show of strength. Drive the elderly to the polls tomorrow and anyone else who needs a ride. Tell your friends and family to vote. Show people charts like this:

Second, don’t believe the polls. They are the product of the non-stop anti-Harper campaign being waged by the Canadian media. Remember what happened here in BC in the last provincial election. NDP was up 8 points in the polls the day before the election, and they lost by 5! That’s because the sensible people came out to vote.
And if anyone from the PM’s team is reading this, please let him know he is the best PM this country has ever had. Go Harper!
Already I am getting photos from the shots linked here from lib friends who are gleefully sending this stuff to the world.
EKOS thinks it’s a tie.
http://www.ekospolitics.com/index.php/2015/10/and-the-winner-is-we-dont-know/
That kind of counters CBC and CTV that has the Liberals 7 points ahead. It seems like they are using their polling to lead rather than report.
All very sound advice.
We don’t have to “Vote against Hate”; we can vote against stupidity!
I voted in the advance poll for the Conservative Party.
I’m sorry but fluffy hair boy’s 10 billion dollar spending spree will deconstuct the economy. Somthing like this:

I am very scared for Alberta if the Libs get in. That, in addition to an NDP budget later this month, will bury this province. All in the name of global warming hysteria.
Absolutely, ground game is the key player on Monday.
But I’d be lying to say that I’m not disappointed with the messaging in the CPC campaign.
Admittedly I’m living a television free lifestyle, and have been on the road and out of earshot for most of the past few weeks, but what happened to the positive “pride in Canada” ads we saw in 2011?
The John McCain campaign strategy was a pretty bad idea for sure. We can still win but either way they need to get rid of these guys.
I’ve done what I can at my age.
I regularly post on Facebook and this is the one I posted last night. Any thinking person should read Anthony Furey’s column in the Toronto Sun a few days ago, and shudder to think of this idiot running our country. I despised his father, but I am very sure that he would be appalled to know his son is taking on the task with no qualifications but these:
“In terms of career experience, all the 43-year-old’s chalked up is a couple years as a teacher in British Columbia. After that, he entered an engineering program but soon dropped out, then started another MA program but dropped that too. He became an MP shortly after, in 2008.
In other words, he spent the years before entering politics dabbling in this and that, drifting about without any commitment to work or school.”
I have successfully managed to ignore the entire affair. The advertising was utterly wasted on me, I saw none of it.
I will be voting CPC, there is absolutely no other choice for a human being with a brain. If they replaced Stephen Harper with a mangy dog for PM, I would still be voting CPC.
That said, I do not give a tinker’s damn how it all turns out tomorrow. If the frigging people of this frigging country want to elect the WeirdBeard communist or the Shiny Pony, at this time in history? They deserve the ruination that they are begging for. Let the famine commence!
F- them all. I’ve got mine, and a trailer to haul it away in if I have to.
Markets do better under libs.
“All in the name of global warming hysteria.”
It is a convenient vehicle to promote and establish higher taxes for government coffers so they can then dump that cash into the trough of public sector unions and special interest to get it kick backed into their reelection campaigns.
If you work for the public sector at any level,,it’s a nice gig.
I agree Kate, CPC messaging was off for sure. And because of that it created an opening for their opponents to not only make this election all about Harper, but to define Harper as something he is not.
What a surreal thing to see one of the best Prime Ministers this country has ever had being portrayed as some sort of third-world despot by the Liberal/NDP mob and their fawning media supporters.
That said I am still very optimistic that the sensible vote will come through.
You mean the market for brown paper bags full of cash?
Enjoy the famine. You worked hard for it.
Enough of this shit. I have to go buy a dog.

Those charts are optimistic. Not for a second do I believe the FIberal plan, deficits will be more in the order of $30-$40 BILLION. The plan of course? |The books are worse than we imagined, yadda, yadda, yadda”
Never expect a Fiberal to tell the truth
It seems that the burden to counter the lies and propaganda of the lefties was left entirely on our shoulders. I was continually informing people that Health care transfers have increased, VA spending has increased, and pointing out Trudeau’s small business and budget guffaws. We have been up against the most hateful campaign that I have ever seen…mainly due to social media. I’m tired.
BC @ 2015 11:51 AM “Two points. One, ground game folks. Drive the elderly to the polls tomorrow and anyone else who needs a ride.”
Doing this all day tomorrow for my many retired/senior neighbours with no transport to the polls.
Short story slightly on topic: When I got my voter ID card in the mail, I noticed a change in address for our local polling station – I researched the location and found it was displaced this year to a location 15 blocks from the center of the riding polling area to its outskirt. It is also not serviced by public transit. I immediately phones several f the older people in my area who I know from the church and asked them if they were voting – ALL said no because they could no longer walk to the polling station as it was too far – I offered all a ride and left my number with them and 13 other seniors they know from the area phoned and asked for a ride – so I decided to take the day off and do a free senior shuttle service to the poll.
The experience drove me to research how many other polling stations had been relocated in our and adjacent ridings an the number was significant – Post election I am going to be making myself very unpopular with elections Canada gathering and lodging complaints from seniors and other semi-ambulatory voters who were negatively impacted by these polling station relocations – I also will be tracking down why and who and how the decision to relocate them was made – something smells off.
Brown Bag operatives do better under Libs, especially if they have golf courses and a hotel in Shawinigan.
Now go find your bridge and do your goat, little one, shoo, shoo.
I’m wondering how much of a wild card Quebec is going to be – i think the splits will be crazy and there could be a big windfall – i don’t think going from the present 5 seats to 20 is too outta line.
As to the EKOS poll – good news here, with the inherent conservative extra 3 points and perhaps a minus 2 points for the Libs given their opportunistic leanings of many of them – a strong CP minority is the minimum i ‘spects.
Additionally the CP vote is more efficiently spread and the 30 extra seats allocations i believe favour the CP as well.
Also as another has noted perhaps the more sensibly inclined will be roused en mass a la BC election.
I too live in a TV free land and have caught very little of the campaign other than the debates (despite being very engaged by nature..) So together with all the internet/social media distractions, i’m wondering just how many people are actually influenced by the MSM hair pulling ravenings – they make me yawn.
It’s definitely an uphill battle to win the hearts and minds of the undecided based on something as important, yet at the same time boring, as taxes. Many, many prospective voters run down to H&R Block the minute they get their T4’s in order to get the instant cash refund. They have no idea at what rate they’re being taxed. They couldn’t care less about tax credits. Many couldn’t tell you what the GST rate was before Harper lowered it. Hell … many couldn’t tell you what it is now.
Watching The West Block, figured I’d give them a chance.
Nauseating is the word to describe it. Early on, the usuall banter.
Then moves into a 15 minute Harper bashinfest, a
Absolutely attrocious “balanced” comentary.
Not surprised…. this todays media: asswipe-r-us.
The Health Care funding CANARD from Unifor, has to be one of the most deceitful campaigns I have seen, along with the burning crosses that Hedy Fry continually has visions of.
Apparently keeping spending INCREASES under control is a bad thing. To call that ‘cuts’, when budgets increase EVERY year, is BS nonsense. But, Harrrrrrrrrrrrpurrrrrrrrrrrrrr hatred blinds the mind, and the sheeple of the Fib party eat it up.
I hope on Tuesday, that hsit sandwich leaves a lasting effect in the mouths of every single Fib and Dip voter, especially the backroom operatives, who don’t care about sound management of this country.
Facts beat your guys opinions. Markets do worst under tories.
Good news for all the newfies and maritimers!
Justin’s carbon tax will increase the cost of air fares from the east coast to the Alberta oil sands but that won’t matter because there won’t be any jobs for them after the oil sands are whacked by Justin and the Alberta NDP.
Think of the money they will save by not flying out to Alberta!
I’m boycotting the election. The fair Canadian election process has been destroyed by the courts. It is now full of electoral fraud. Any citizen can now vote while covering their identity and not proving their identity whatsoever. That is fact, so Canada’s elections are fraudulent from now on as long as voters can hide their identity and not have to prove their identity.
Its downright scary isn’t it?
The LIVs don’t seem to mind having their pockets picked by Justin, so long as he does it with a smile, and his hand lingers in their pocket for a while. No, its not that Justin is “into them”, just searching for that last dollar that he thinks you don’t need! It JUST FEELS GOOD.
Too much foolish ignorance, I’ve heard it from my own 22 year old yute. Yeah, don’t listen to ol dad, go ahead, find out the hard way what its like to be fooled and used by a phony hustler with a hairdoo.
Mr Mem @ 12:27 PM “Markets do better under libs.”
But the middle class does not. And any comparison of Markets to regime change is disingenuous unless it addresses market factors beyond the control of the sitting government – like a global sustained recession or a global sustained inflationary/monatarized expansion period.
By and larger only socialist governments can effect markets and only those they control – free market nations like Canada must cope with market forces beyond our governments control. So essentially your point is moot.
Fly away troll, fly away.
I hear you bluetech, I am tired too. Worn out. Hateful campaign it has been. Here in my riding the Liberal candidate has been lying through his teeth, playing dirty, no qualms at all. His team sealing signs every night. Arrogant bastard too. Typical Liberal, same old same old.
The misinformation is incredible. I am constantly having to inform people.
Also last week I was up past midnight pulling off “Harper” stickers that had been placed under the word “Stop” on stop signs all over our riding. No surprise that Libs/NDP would resort to defacing public property to try and win.
Will work my ass off the next 24 hours for our candidate, and then we see. I am tired but optimistic.
Haven’t seen you around before Johnny…
A lot of people who voted Liberal who have kids and make over $75,000 per year, which isn’t much, are going to have a shock when they file their 2016 tax return if Trudeau is elected. The $2,000 refund from income tax splitting will be gone as will the Universal Child Care Benefit which pays $1,920 per kid under 6 and $720 per kid over 6. Instead they will just qualify for the income dependant Child Tax Benefit which they likely will not get because their income is too high. Remember that Trudeau filed his taxes in Ontario instead of Quebec to save himself money.
You tell me to fly away troll?! You like fraudulent elections I guess? You like that a court made it so by the stroke of their pen that a person does not have to identify themselves to vote? We have seen absolute proof of people not having to prove who they are. The court is getting what they want now. It’s easier to “make change” when you can rig the election. And to be fair there may be a tiny bit of voter fraud on the “right” side as well so the elections are fraudulent no matter who gets in. See I don’t wallow in the partisan swamp like you. If people can vote without proving who they are then the election is fraudulent. So go fly away.
Post this on your Facebook site and ask your friends where they have here this meme before.

Someone explain the Ford thing yesterday. Even if you don’t believe half you hear or see, there’s something about Rob Ford that says -toxic-.
Doug Ford fine, but Rob does leave a long baggage trail……
“Patrick”
set your hair on fire much.
Not voting gives Justin the win. Now, fly away shipdit, Unrepentedly.
Scar, thanks for posting the latest EKOS data. Very interesting. Sensible voters now waking up and realizing their vote is needed? Ground game for sure will be important tomorrow.
Occam getting those seniors to the polls is fantastic work. My hat off to you. Will be doing the same.
Great comments here by all.
Keep the faith!!
Show me how that hair fire thing works.
Patrick, go send your friend Justy a strongly worded letter, outlining your faux outrage.
I repeat, not voting gives Justin the win. Nobody cares about anything else.
I haven’t voted in awhile but tomorrow I will. 40 mile drive to the polling station with some pretty good pheasant habitat along the way so I’ll take a dog and make a day of it.
It’s entirely possible for Harper to win. It’s never easy for Conservatives to pull it off even when the stars are aligned.
I’ll be voting for Harper tomorrow because “in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King”.
Given the pivotal electorate being the mushy middle, the CPC did a lousy job in trying to win / keep them. “Just not ready” drove me nuts as the slogan implies that the Spawn of Satan just needs a little more time and he IS ready. Who’s the genius that thought that one up? That was one of the common themes in the US in 2008 – Obama’s lack of experience, never mind his past, his associations, and what he planned on doing. The Spawn’s glitzy adds parroting vacuous paternalistic platitudes to loud trained seal audiences is likely more inspiring to the LIVs.
The other thing that irritates is the competition for providing the most free shiny objects to the right demographic. The underlying premise is that Canadians are all dependent drones who have outsourced all adult responsibilities to the state. Could the CPC have at least distanced themselves a little from this disgusting display of “me too”? Governments everywhere in the west are broke when you look at entitlements and demographics. Real change means recognition of this problem and starting to address it.
Probably the best thing the CPC did for themselves (likely against the advice of the spin doctor consultancy) is take on the Court of Appeals on the Islamic body bag issue which damaged NDP and to a lessor degree, LPC support. I would have liked to see an add with the Spawn shown pandering to some Islamic group or another – droning on about Canadian values of diversity and tolerance while in a split or corner screen various actual clips of an ISIS mass beheading, Saudi stoning or stick-beating a burka-clad woman.
For those of you who are curious about who is really behind the shiny pony here is a link for your reading pleasure.

The current global crisis is being engineered by a group of super rich globalists who no matter how rich they are it is never enough. These very powerful people (George Soros leading the pack) are all linked together. They seem to have great pleasure in playing with the stability of countries for their own financial gain.
One reason that I can see that the Harper Conservatives were so different than any Government I can remember in my lifetime is because they have no ties to the Power Corp/ Maurice Strong/ UN/ Global Warming Cabal. His allegiance has been to the country.
In my cynical mind the Puppet Master stood back and allowed Mr. Harper and his competent managers to get this country back on solid footing. Now that we are in the black all the media outlets controlled by the super rich are pulling out all the stops to turn the Shiny Pony into the Man of Steel.
George Soros fingerprints are all over our election. He is Obama’s Puppet master and the Obama people have been working with Trudeau for years. Soros funded Tides Foundation poured money into this election. This link is quick read of the Soros Obama connection

I spent most of my life in Saskatchewan and saw the devastation of progressive policies.
I also witnessed first hand the good that comes from responsible Capitalism so I know there is a better way. I now live in B.C. and my husband I have been working almost full time for the last month to get our wonderful young Candidate Marshall Neufeld elected here in the Okanagan.
Wish us luck.

I find it remarkable that fact the 6000 strong Canadian Media Guild (go peruse that commie website for a while) has registered with Elections Canada as a third party with a stated goal of defeating the Harper government, has not been sung from the rooftops by every conservative minded person on the web.
How can any sane individual look at that disclosure and not come to the conclusion that likely most of what they have read about Harper is simply anti Conservative spin?
Media has now registered their bias. Its on the record.
Every column or newscast should start with this disclaimer:
“this column/newscast was written/broadcast by a member of the Canadian Media Guild which has registered with Elections Canada to campaign against Stephen Harper and the Conservatives”
Because that is what is happening. If your friends and family are not aware of this make them aware
Slither some more partisan. The only people that don’t care about voter fraud are partisans hoping their guy gets in at any cost. A partisan loves tyrants as long as it’s their tyrant that gets in. So you think wanting fair elections means that I support the drama teacher?! Heh, yeah, partisan. Most of the time the “left” and “right” are both sides of the same coin. We have seen how useless the “right” has been in the US helping along obama and the rest of the enemies of America. Just recently the TPP trade deal done in secret and rammed through was done by “conservatives”. But it is great I guess, but I know that if little Trudeau had done it it would all of a sudden be bad. Well I think it is bad, no matter who does it. Partisans think politicians are their friends. No, it is politicians vs the people.
Only one real poll, Monday night we will see.
Hopefully scrutineers with cameras are present at all voting stations.
After all we wouldn’t want any voters not to get their colour Tv for voting Liberal.
Make mine a flat screen?
I am appalled by the ethics of our union civil servants.
There was a reason we used to be able to fire the crooked,lazy and stupid.
Elections Canada Staff certainly have needed no help in making a mockery of the voting rules.
One bag to two Sir/madam?
As Stalin said”Does not matter who votes, It matters who counts those votes”.
And I expect to be amused by some areas reporting more votes than voters once again.
Given the increased hatred coming from the Media Party, the steady loss of respect and readership, rightly the level of gaming these polls can only have risen.
You lie to me, I set you up for fall.
Possibly the pollsters have adjusted their “results” for this, but I doubt it.For the questions still are leading to a desired result, their desire.
So this election I find the polls easy to ignore, the error bars are big enough to drive a 4th party up.
Yes, the message wasn’t terribly clear to the mushy middle, agreed, the message was a very soft sell. As part of an overall program, its the right thing to do. As the ONLY message, other than “JNR”, it flies past the LIVs in a heartbeat.
Yes, the left is great at promising “free stuff”, that others pay for, but, that’s the Canadian way, isn’t it? A promise of a further GST reduction, or such cut, is immensely popular, leaving money in people’s pockets where it belongs. I’m not sure that “the Liberals will cut your paycheque, we won’t” resonates much, as, the LIVs don’t believe the Fibs will do that (when of course, the Fibs will).
The Notwithstanding Clause is the effective strategy here, but, in an election campaign, I think the leftards and social justice wankers would throw themselves at moving traffic, to demonstrate their faux outrage. The time for the NC is after the election, and its long past time the NC was used, on this and other issues, instead of letting the SCOC -make the laws- of the land, which is not their mandate.
The lefties are angry at Harper and hate him because he’s well, angry. Harper should have gone to war with the statists and their mediocracy friends. In each debate he should have forced Trudeau and Mulcair to explain what they meant by their nonsense such as “worst job creation since the great Depression,” and told them to their faces they didn’t know what they were talking about, every time they opened their political pie holes. When the mediocracy tried to disagree he should have told them they didn’t know what they were talking about. He should have gone to war with these fools for public consumption – they hate him anyway; there was no need to hold back.
Their hypocrisy, given they’re the hateful ones, they’re the mean spirited ones, given they’re the ones who seek to divide Canadians, seems lost on the voting sheeple, no doubt aided by their own apathy, ignorance and a hopelessly biased media.
Why do lefties love global warming hysteria. Simple, it calls for government action, it calls for more taxes, so it means more government and more influence and power for them, calling the shots of who gets what, instead of the evil market, with whom they could never compete for ideas and prosperity (no worries, they don’t care about that anyway).
The fact that anybody believes that governments have, do and will ever create a single job is the overarching problem with the Canadian political culture. Limited government facilitates the creation of jobs and prosperity by hardworking Canadians and small businesses. Beyond that, government spending represents a transaction of decline, where, regardless of the SJW motivation, resources are taken from productive endeavours and given to unproductive ones, those needing government “investment.” for which an imperative must be demonstrated to proceed.
Regardless of this election, which I’m afraid will install a Ken doll in the PMO, I shall work diligently for the following goals – ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
Western separatism – following the inevitable cash grab that will happen from Upper & Lower Canada
Tax “planning” – I will base most, if not all of my decisions, and advice to others, on the goal of depriving the tax collector at every opportunity, so will be dead set against marijuana legalization, will encourage people not to drink or smoke so as to avoid sin taxes.
Most importantly, I will work diligently to lobby, provoke thought, and even seek political office on defunding the CBC, which simply has to go, given their disgraceful conduct in elections, especially this one, as they place the needs of Canada subordinate to their desire to install the Shiny Pony.
As a corollary to that, never, ever, ever try to be nice to the mediocracy, they hate non-statists; hate them and their rent seekers back.
My toughest goal is to educate Canadians as to what liberalism really is, or used to be, and is now known as classical liberalism, that the LPC hasn’t been a liberal party for at least 50 years, certainly not since the PET era. No liberal worth their salt would ever use the term “government investment.”
Voters thinking the Grits are any kind of moderate, liberal or grassroots party is their biggest and most expensive mistake. Not forcefully making that case to Canadians was Harper’s greatest error. He made a comment that propelled him to his first victory by exposing the mediocracy bias with his comment that Liberal mishaps are in the “reporting” one hour, while anything resembling a Conservative faux pas is headlines for three days or more. He played way too nice. I hope Conservatives never make that mistake again. Too bad it will likely cost all of us so dearly this time.
Some hope the stupidity of the Grits will be demonstrated with them in power, to ours but also their detriment; how did that go in ON the last ten years? I didn’t think so.
Aren’t social justice anarchists entertaining with their faux outrage?
Rant and rave, rant and rave
John: ”I am very scared for Alberta if the Libs get in. That, in addition to an NDP budget later this month, will bury this province. All in the name of global warming hysteria.”
Nobody, absolutely nobody controls Shell, Exxon, BP, Imperial etc. etc.
Those guys have gone into the worst shit holes on the planet, in deserts where the temp goes up to +45C, on arctic plains where the wind is at -45C, in steaming jungles, or worst yet, 75 miles offshore at 10,000 ft below sea level, and quite often where they needed an army looking over them so they wouldn’t get shot by rebels, and they still come out smelling like a new $100 bill.
Do you really believe that a snotty little hairball like Justin Trudeau will stop them?? I don’t. As for Rachel Knotley, I think she’s already got a whiff of the new $100!! And I do believe she is a smart lady!!
As a Canadian watching from afar (though weeks ago I cast my vote for the Tories) the levels of Harper Derangement Syndrome I’ve seen in my friends & acquaintances has been quite astounding. Watching Pierre Trudeau nearly bankrupt Canada in the 70’s & 80’s, I never hated the man, just thought he was terribly misguided.
While I believe that immigration is a core tenet of Canada, I also believe that:
1. Canada has the right to decide who is accepted into the country.
2. Canadian culture takes supremacy over every other culture for anyone who calls Canada home.
Not initially, but eventually, Pierre Trudeau understood the obvious common sense of the above two points. It’s too bad that Trudeau Jr. and Mulcair have stated, at least publicly, that they don’t. The fact that a sizeable percentage of Canadians appear to have bought into their B.S. spin is truly incredible.
Tomorrow I expect there to be either a Conservative or Liberal minority. If the latter then Mulcair is the big winner. If the former then watch the losing parties attempt what they did once before, to overthrow a duly elected minority government. Watch all of the talking heads justify this as completely reasonable when, in fact, it’s not … whatsoever.
So, beginning Tuesday I expect my beloved Canada to either be facing a constitutional crisis or run by two power hungry men who have no problem whatsoever quite intentionally borrowing endless more billions of dollars to pay off their supporters.
Elections have consequences and Canadians deserve the government they elect.
