The grits are in third place in Montreal. This is unheard of. The Tories may actually win seats on the island of Montreal!!!
They are in fourth place in the rest of the province. Oh Happy day!

What is waking up the people:, the blogs or the msm? my guess the blogs where the people are reading their nagging suspicion about the liberals but could verify if it was true or not since the msm have been doing their very best to cover the liberals very own scandals and the refusal to demand the money back which the liberals took in the millions from taxpayers across this nation.

Apparently the people are not buying what the liberals ndp or the MSM are selling.

In the confidence vote tonite Canadians will see for thwmselves who is running scared - the Liberals will beat a hasty retreat so the government is not defeated.
Canadians don’t have to depend on Liberals or MSM to tell them who is running scared -watch the vote tonite.

cherry picking your poll results? the ipsos poll, mentioned in your link, has the libs ahead of the cons in quebec.

funny how only the good polls turn up in blogging tory land.

ralph only points out the obvious. while the LPC may not be ready to fight an election today, things will only improve as the summer drags on.

you can bet that harper will delay bringing parliament back as long as possible in order to feather his election mattress a little longer.

conservative crowing seems odd to me. you have failed to turn the dial. a majority is well out of reach and voter confidence continues to drop.

if ( granted it’s a big if ) dion can frame the debate on a carbon tax correctly, the libs have a legitimate shot at the next election.

while conservatives may hate the idea of a carbon tax, no surprise here, the majority of canadians feel otherwise and they don’t vote CPC.

if dion can hold the liberal core and shift soft green and ndp support, it’s all over.

Ipsos is one poll BUT:

L. Ian MacDonald of the Montreal Gazette reported this morning:(Link above)

“Every month, La Presse publishes a CROP poll on provincial and federal voting intention in Quebec. It is regarded as the authoritative political poll in Quebec because of the size of the sample, its regional and demographic breakouts, and the enviable track record of the CROP brand. Only Léger Marketing is even in the same league.

While polling firms in English-speaking Canada do national surveys with a sample of 250 respondents in Quebec over two or three nights, CROP usually samples 1,000 Quebecers over 10 nights. CROP not only releases an overall voting intention, but a breakdown of the vote by language group and region, French and English-speaking, Greater Montreal, the island of Montreal, Quebec City and east, and the rest of Quebec.

The sample size, extensive methodology and overall track record are the reasons that when CROP speaks, the political class listens….
…On the federal side, the story is that the Liberals, at 15 per cent, have now fallen to fourth place among the federal parties, behind the Bloc at 31 per cent, the Conservatives at 28 per cent, and the NDP at 16 per cent.

This has never happened before.

The real news is that the Liberals have also fallen to third place on the island of Montreal.

This has never happened before, either. Ever.

According to CROP, the Bloc narrowly leads the Conservatives 26 to 24 per cent on the island, with the Liberals at 19 per cent and the NDP at 18 per cent. All those NDP votes can’t be in Outremont, supporting Tom Mulcair. And all those Conservative votes can’t be in the East End. Something weird is going on in the West Island ridings, something that isn’t being detected anecdotally.

When you look at the breakout of the non-francophone vote, the Conservatives are at 34 per cent, the Liberals at 28 per cent and the NDP at 21 per cent. This is hard to credit overall, because it isn’t observable on the ground. Perhaps this is the one wonky poll in 20 that pollsters always warn about in their disclaimers.
In the last half century, the Conservatives have scored minor breakthroughs in the Liberal strongholds of the West Island, in the 1958 Diefenbaker landslide, the 1984 Mulroney sweep, and the free-trade campaign of 1988. These were beachheads of two or three seats.

But the Conservatives have never led the Liberals overall on the island of Montreal. This five-point spread is outside the margin of error. Perhaps it’s a rogue poll. It was certainly taken before last week, a very bad one for the Conservatives, with the Maxime Bernier fiasco.

The Liberals should hope so. Because these numbers are saying that non-francophones are coming to the same conclusion as francophones - that the Liberal leader, Stéphane Dion, doesn’t have it.”

Sorry to rain on your continuous delusional parade Davidson…Try again. I recommend you actually read the links Joanne provides before you start rambling. You would sound less foolish and people might start taking you more seriously.

The liberals are afraid. Their numbers in Quebec should frighten them.

And the Lieberals continue to sit on their hands or not show up at all. Disgusting, pathetic maggots, all of them.

Funniest thing I heard all eve,was in the House leading up to the big vote.As the Libs were filing in,someone yelled off camera “bring in your dead!” I laughed out loud as well,when after the first vote,The Garth disappeared,and Yvon Godin of NDP stood on point of order ,after Karen Redmond said one member from previous count was ‘missing’Yvon said “Garth Turner left to take a phone call,I guess that was more important for him to leave the Chamber” Members are NOT to use names,but Godin was pissed,and good on him for pointing that out.What a disgrace that the Libs could only round up 11 members for a vote they have railed about for weeks.

Any of you have kids? I just had a flash of the Wiggles singing, “Where’s Jeff?”
