The new poll was deeply flawed, and honestly my biggest issue with your post is that it was basically word for word UCP talking points with no substance behind it. Mainstreet has been total trash in the past, but when they have a poll that matches others, and reportedly matches internal UCP polling then perhaps they got it right this time? Keep in mind polls always tend to skew more towards conservatives anyway because of the method of collecting data. Pollsters have a hard time with Alberta for whatever reasons, but the trends do show UCP dropping and NDP rising. It's not a seismic shift, but the trend has started to appear, and the UCP haven't cleaned anything up as the campaign has gone on, it's only gotten worse. People are seeing what a **** head Kenney and his cronies are. So tell me, without resorting to talking points and pie in the sky dreaming, what is the UCP proposing that makes you want to vote for them?

"that's why girls don't play the game coach" I suspect it's a case of people not being prepared for contact that happens.

Kenney plan is great for corporations and the rich and awful for workers. He is actively campaigning for lower wages.

Jesus Christ did you at least get paid for this political advertisement? The polls are showing the UCP support dropping, people DO care. These leadership shenanigans aren't nothing, they are indicative of how Kenney operates. Break the law to get what he wants. Let me ask you this, how does slashing corporate tax rates help? Alberta is already the lowest taxed province, all he is going to do is make the rich richer and take away the provinces revenue streams. How does fighting with the federal government and BC governement (which Notley is already doing, Kenney will just turn it up to 11, help build a pipeline? People like you hate to hear it, but in these big national projects you need to work together with people. Also that 52% number, I don't buy it, most polls are showing the UCP dropping support to about 45% while the NDP getting close to 40%, within the margin of error. Now election night might come and we could end up with a UCP government, but it will be closer than you think it will be. People don't like Jason Kenney and they don't like the corruption and social regressiveness of the party.

The UCP are the skypalace with a view of the lake of fire. All the corruption of the PCs with the hard right intolerance of the Wild Rose. The worst aspects of both parties... and people STILL blindly support these ****** canoes.

I don't think it changes anything for the CFLPA. The American players have always been highly replaceable, this doesn't change that fact at all.

That plus booting out 2 candidates earlier for their racist and intolerant views. Those guys are crazy town. Thankfully the polling shows that people are shifting towards the NDP. Not that I ever thought I'd wind up hoping for an NDP win, but good lord no desire to see Jason Kenney as premier here. Guy will set the province back decades.

some of us like the sunshine so I wouldn't even call the weather better.

That is assuming Lapo wanted to bail all that badly. Somehow I don't think running back to the states is priority number 1 for him. Truthfully I think he'd be happy staying in Winnipeg forever provided he has the role he wants. After all, wifey wears the pants in that family.

getting out while the getting is good.

sometimes people just want to be a big fish in a small pond.

No I think someone is going to have to build one sooner or later. The reality of the situation is that we need that industry to maintain a strong economy. We're a resource producing country, that's about all we can do.

Well anyone who wants an economy should.... you paying much less in gas with the current price vs. 4 years ago? Here is the thing: the price of oil isn't horrible, but canadian oil is devalued because we can't get our product to market because of lack of pipelines, which at this point are a political issue.

Nothing and give them a heavily redacted report on their own time table because at this point they don't give a ****, they're gonna do what ever they can to protect the party.

Well I would guess it was Jeff Stoughton, forget which year exactly it was.

aren't all you media types trained in polishing turds and telling people what they want to hear? "Looks like those clowns in congress really did it again, what a bunch of clowns"

Get some valuable experience before sliding over to take over the Bomber gig when Knuckles finally hangs them up?

The appetite is probably there, but these leagues I think get too big for the britches and aim too high too soon. They figure they can start big, but they really need to start small and actually grown a fanbase before they try and get a deal with the NFL.

I am the same. I identify as a conservative, but we really desperately need to check the power of large corporations and the rich. If not then all us lowly plebs are truly ******.

I really want to see that kid do well. He made plays when he got a chance, which is more than can be said for some of the American receivers we've lined up recently.

No no no, you see the senate works for the rich donors. Silly poster thinking the United States government gave 2 shits about the people.

Well history suggests that they are different... I mean just one example off the top of my head: Al Franken is no longer a senator after his scandal.
