Money Talks
Things aren't looking good for the Liberals.
Not only are Conservatives dominating the money-game... but polling numbers are looking good for the Conservatives as well.
But surely the Liberals will see a bounce after Garth Turncoats defection... er no?
Elections Canada returns show the Conservatives raised almost twice as much money as the Liberals in 2006, which has created concerns in Liberal ranks that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's party is sitting on a stockpile of cash.
The Conservatives this week launched a series of attack ads aimed at Mr. Dion that are airing on television during peak viewing hours, including this Sunday's SuperBowl broadcast. And many senior Liberals fear the Tories may have the funds for an unprecedented pre-election advertising blitz.
Returns released by Elections Canada yesterday show the Tories raised $19-million in 2006, compared with $11.2-million for the Liberals."
Not only are Conservatives dominating the money-game... but polling numbers are looking good for the Conservatives as well.
The Leger Marketing survey gives the Tories 38% support, the Liberals 31%, the NDP 14% and the Bloc Quebecois 8%.
In Quebec, the Liberals (32%) and the Bloc (31%) are in a battle and are followed by the Conservatives at 24%.
In Ontario, the Tories are at 40%, compared to the Liberals' 35%. (h/t)
But surely the Liberals will see a bounce after Garth Turncoats defection... er no?

You forgot to mention that the Green Party are beating the Bloc in the polls by sitting at 11%, just 3% away from the NDP. Also, the Greens are beating the NDP in Alberta, apparently showing they are a party of choice from the people who are choking from the overexploitation of hazardous oilsand resources.
The Green party are positioning themselves as the new #3 in Canada. The NDP's ideas about the environment are so old and tired that Canada's had enough.
