First, an SES Research poll emailed to me, with commentary by the pollster:
“Polling indicates that the Conservative government’s honeymoon was short-lived. The Conservative six-point lead on Election Day is now a tighter race. We can expect a period of voter volatility as Canadians assess the new Harper-led federal government.”
Decided Canadian Voters (N=971, MoE ? 3.2%, 19 times out of 20)
Liberals 34% (+4)
Conservatives 33% (-3)
NDP 18% (+1)
Bloc Quebecois 9% (-2)
Green 7% (+1)
Undecided 3% (-10)Polling between February 4th and February 9th, 2006 (Random Telephone Survey of 1,000 eligible Canadians, MoE ? 3.1%, 19 times out of 20). Percentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding. The change in brackets is from the last day of the CPAC-SES tracking conducted on January 22, 2006. These results were accurate representations of the 2006 federal election results.
No commentary was apparently available about how the liberal-left academia and media in Canada is complicit in ensuring to the best of their ability that Canada hates conservatives as a general matter, and how they will do anything in their power to bring them down, including but not limited to lying, misreading, misleading, mislabeling, shabby reporting, shabby information, biased reporting, and no end of biased innuendo. Full report at eleven! No sorry, just kidding! There won’t be!
And it’s all over the news. SHOCK! And it will be for days. Well that and “Cheney shoots man; feels like a loser!”
Harper’s spin meister gets boot
[Nice tendentious headline! “Spin meister”, huh? It’s all a bunch o’ “spin”—and from a “meister”! “Heil”! —Joel]
Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s inner circle has recorded its first casualty less than three weeks after being sworn into office.
Harper’s director of communications, William Stairs, was fired late yesterday by Harper’s chief of staff Ian Brodie and replaced with Sandra Buckler, a communications consultant in the private sector and the party’s television spokesman during the election campaign.
The move came after a rocky first week for the new government, with widespread public criticism over controversial cabinet appointments by the rookie PM and increasing complaints from members of the national press gallery over lack of access to Harper.
Stairs took the brunt of criticism for communications foul-ups.
And in that same fair and balanced report, far from claiming that the Conservative Party’s honeymoon with the public was “short-lived” as the SES poll indicated, or that it is finally over (after two weeks of the liberal-left media bashing the public over the head in their effort to convince the public to hate conservatives), this article presumes to claim this:
“Meanwhile, Harper’s honeymoon with the voters appears to be over before it began…”.
Gosh! Now, it never even began! Soon, the media will earnestly report that the honeymoon was in reverse osmosis three week prior to the election, causing time to fold back in on itself and cause a sucking sound.
