Only 2.5 months to go

 

Need to change it so next election they have to work into the summer. Too much time off.

That poll puts the NDP within 10 seats of a majority, that is scary (see Ontario/Manitoba/BC).

Are Canadians that blind?

I hope Quebec wakes up and saves us......

ugh. ....I feel sick.......

By turning to the Cons or by NDP voters voting BQ?

I cant imagine the NDP do as well in Quebec this time...

The thing about Mulcair is, he has been considered the potential weak link because he's prone to outbursts and coming across like an angry guy. His decision not to take questions caused backlash. He then did take questions and was well prepared in how he focused on the Cons and wouldnt even say Justin's name (amusingly it became a story when Harper kept calling him "Justin" rather than "Justin Trudeau"...). It will be interesting to see how Mulcair performs as the election wears on.

As much as I like Harper, he can be his own worst enemy too. I think when he speaks and interacts, he comes across very likeable. But he seems to be so private or determined to not be caught "relaxing" that those moments are few and far between. I think Harper himself is the best tool against the "Stop Harper" crowd because he really does seem like a likeable person.

I'm referring to Quebec in the hope they will stifle the 'orange wave' and realize electing mulcair would be a mistake.

I don't know how much stock to put in polls, but if the election were held right now, some pollsters are saying we'd have a minority NDP government.  That would be favorable to a majority NDP government, I guess....

Nightmare scenario. Elizabeth May & the Greens hold the balance of power. Shoot me now.

Iso - saw the first Mulcair attack ad today by the Tories - same format, same actors.  Looking forward to watching it 50 times per football game this weekend...ugh...

I like the Trudeau attack ads. Pretty spot on really.

Only kool aid drinking Tory nerds like those ads. Everybody else hates them.

I laughed the first 20 times at the "Nice Hair Though" comment, but really they have beat that whole thing to death.

All the attack ads are absolutely stupid.  Let's cut and paste his/her speech to make it sound like they are going to grind us into the dirt.

 

I'd like to know who the morons are that fall for this.  Then deport them to the U.S. where they belong.

I said the same thing to my wife this morning. Only morons fall for these ads. We must be a country of morons. 

All the attack ads do is tell me how scared Harper is of his opponents and, because of how transparently shitty they are, make me want to vote for anyone but him...

According to Gregory Thomas...

Under Harper's leadership, Conservatives became the first to routinely use personal attacks ads outside an election writ period. Their ads often used quotes deliberately taken out of context. Incidence of attack ads by Harper Conservatives was heavier than by any other government.

I don't watch many commercials so I'm still in the lol phase

I guess you don't want to vote for anyone then.

Harper saying he called the election early because the opposition were attacking him is just a lie. When did those Justin Trudeau, "He's Just Not Ready" ads appear? April or May??

Good strategy!

Those are dumbass commercials. And only dumbasses believe them. They make me want to vote for Trudeau just out of spite.

If Harper didn't have such a venomous hatred for "Red Tories" and would have learned to get along, he wouldn't be trailing Mulcair in the polls.

 

The following article sums it up pretty well.

Yep, the Conservative party changed no doubt. Nothing at all like the PCP of Canada which had swung too far left. We can thank  Brian Mulroney for the rise of Reform in western Canada & the merge of the Canadian Alliance with the Tory Party over a decade ago.

Only dumbasses believe Justin isn't ready to be PM? Lol. I'd say you've got that backwards but I'm not here to insult people.

Pretry sure he was saying those commercials cater to the lowest common denominator

Yep, mostly people with thick foreheads & who walk on their knuckles.

I hope Dee's not looking at this thread too much.  He might feel insulted at those remarks.  But you never know considering...

You're insulting our intelligence by defending that ad.

Only "dumbasses" believe his main priority is legalizing pot, or that his only thought on foreign policy is sending winter jackets to Syria.

And I'm less concerned with his personal beliefs than who he has as a cabinet. If he's got the best possible Finance Minister, that's gonna go a long way to gaining my vote...
