Election called for October 19, 2009! Sure that was done back in 2006 and the law received Royal Assent back in May of this year, but people in this country ignore and forget things that don’t have to do with being gay, fighting the global war on cigarette smoking, or being super environmental ‘n stuff.
A poll by Darrell Bricker’s Ipsos-Reid says Harper’s Conservatives could well win a nice majority government if an election were held today. I may be putting myself way out there, but I do think the liberals might just be against that.
Tories lunge toward majority turf, poll says
Norma Greenaway, CanWest News Service
Published: Friday, October 12, 2007OTTAWA – The federal Conservatives have surged to 40 per cent in the popularity sweepstakes, opening a 12-point lead over the Liberals and moving within sight of majority government, a new national poll says.
The poll, conducted by Ipsos-Reid exclusively for CanWest News Service and Global National, also says that almost seven in 10 respondents believe Canada is “moving in the right track these days,” and that almost half (49 per cent) identified with the sentiment that “Stephen Harper has done a good job and deserves re-election” as prime minister.
“These are the best numbers the Tories have had in years,” Darrell Bricker, president of the polling firm, said Friday. At 40 per cent, the Conservatives were up four points from the last Ipsos-Reid poll in August, and were right on the “magic number” needed to think about forming a majority government, he said.

Assuming Prime Minister Harper lives up to his promise, the only people who will bring about an election are the various left-wing and far-left parties in Parliament, by a vote of non-confidence. And if they don’t do that, then they’re full of it, because they keep telling us they have no confidence in this government and that they’re not fit to govern.
