Good prospect for the Conservatives?
If not good news, certainly some people are at least projecting a hopeful Tory decade. Of course, the editorial to which I refer is from the Calgary Sun, so we must take note of the source. Many of their editorials are really Conservative advertorials.
Another bit of good news, albeit from a public opinio poll, so again I wouldn't give it much weight, comes from the Globe and Mail. If asked to vote today (from Feb 9 - 13), the Tory support is essentially the same as it was on election day, but the NDP have made a seven-point gain, almost entirely from the Liberals.
No doubt the loss of Liberal support comes from their essential invisibility the past couple of weeks combined with the rather high profile that the NDP have taken. It is also interesting that the Emerson and Fortier boondoggle seems to not have affected the Conservatives.
Of course these are really early days, so one mustn't make anything out of polls or advertorials like these, but if this trend continues for too long we might see the Conservatives do something outrageous to push for an election and slice off the Liberal popular vote toward the NDP.
Maybe Harper's wet dream is not too far off?
