They're Still Trying

So the traitors up here in Canada are still considering forming a coalition to try and undemocratically usurp Prime Minister Stephen Harper. I guess they thought that with Michael Ignatieff as the new Liberal leader, they might seem a little more competent and threatening to Harper's government.
Unfortunately for the three stooges (until Iggy proves otherwise, he's a part of a club; although he is tremendously more competent than Dion ever hoped to be-which does worry me because he could actually beat Harper. Why the Libs voted Dion ahead of him into the party leadership, I'll never know) Harper still has the hammer and the support of the Canadian people.

In a week that witnessed the hasty departure of Stephane Dion as Leader of the Liberal Party and the selection of Michael Ignatieff as his replacement, a new Ipsos Reid poll conducted on behalf of Canwest News Service and Global National Television reveals that Prime Minister Harper still holds a significant vote-garnering hammer over his political opponents because of the support he would receive if the opposition forced an election, regardless of what has transpired since the Governor General prorogued parliament until late January.

If an election were held tomorrow, the Conservatives would receive the support of 45% of decided voters (down 1 point), while the Liberals would receive 26% of the vote (up 3 points). The NDP would garner 12% support (down 1 point), and the Green Party would receive 7% support (down 1 point). Within Quebec, the Bloc has the support of 39% of Quebecers (up 2 points), which amounts to 10% nationally.

It's actually quite surprising how sites like NewsBusters and Hot Air remain interested in this soap opera, seeing that it is Canadian politics.
