Harris-Decima poll out on federal leadership. Harper leads 43/21/15 on experience. 39/20/19, in the same order, on economic management. 28-24-17 for best judgment. 32/21/19 on "cares about people like me", 33/24/17 on "shares my values", 33/29/14 on PPM.

Lol at all the people who are all "Harper has the most experience, is the best economic manager and exercises the best judgement, but I want Trudeau to be Prime Minister. He's, like, OMG, so cool and stuff."

More Senate news: Ontario will argue before the Court that unanimity, not 7/50, is required for abolition. Quebec supports a transcontinental pipeline.

Harper has tapped a new PBO.

Am I the only who thinks those speculating about a Tory-Grit contest in 2015 are wildly premature? Mulcair has 2 years to carve out his own narrative.

And much can happen in two years, beyond Mulcair's control. Currently, the Liberals are bouyed by Trudeau's popularity, but that shine may well come off, and there is very little depth beyond the image. A by-election in a Liberal seat, especially one that will be hard to retain (a Goodale retirement, for example) and the media will spin it as the honeymoon being over, and if non-conservative voters get a feel that the NDP has the better chance at forming government, or at least knocking off Harper, the polls will move quickly and there will be the stampede for the exits. That sort of a thing could happen without Mulcair setting the agenda.

Alberta has joined Saskatchewan and the feds in their 7/50 claim. Even the Star wants Trudeau to release economic policy.

Agreed. This would also have the benefit of forcing blue liberals to acknowledge that the NDP might form government which might give the Tories a small boost.

New QC Leger provincial poll out (also has QC federal, but can't find that part): PLQ 36, PQ 32, CAQ 18, QS 6. PQ leads 40-25 among Francophones province-wide. PQ trusted on most issues except economy (PLQ) and wealth redistribution (QS). Dunno how those numbers translate, but could well be another PQ minority. Which is my early prediction for next spring's election.

I met up with Michael Sona (aka "Pierre Poutine") last night at a mutual friend's birthday party. He thinks his chances are pretty good in winning the case. Says he barely knows the "witnesses" who claim he did it.

You have an interesting circle of friends Earl.

Geez media, Poilievre only hinted as much last month about Senate being a political repositioning.

Question: should we start the new thread with the Throne Speech or wait till we hit ~1000 posts? Hopefully those rumours of May 2015 are true so we don't have to create a third. Tongue

I vaguely recall Dave saying that he prefers fewer threads with more posts, because the site runs faster that way? I think Inks then merged some threads in FC.

Here's the federal part of that Leger poll: PLC 35, NPD 31, BQ 23, PCC 9.  Ahead in Montreal but tied everywhere else with the Dippers.

All our QC incumbents win on personal votes anyways, though it'd be nice to regain some seats in Quebec City. Otherwise a Dipper-Grit battle. Far removed from the heady days of pre-gala '08, if in retrospect that was probably unsustainable.

It would be a weird map. I guess the Liberals are ahead in their traditional areas, (along the US border, Western Quebec), while the NDP is strong in the heartland, some sovereigntist areas.

One thing's for sure: Quebec will be crucial to Liberal hopes for Stornoway in 2015.

Same statement applies to Sussex too for that matter, since Ontario alone won't cut it for them. On another note, Marois again ruled out a fall election at a U de M appearance this afternoon. Still sticking to my prediction of another PQ minority.

Wouldn't Mégantic-L'Érable be in danger?
