Stephane Dion Drops 50%

Early election polls show Stephen Harper should get 183 seats in the 308-seat parliament, up from 127 seats won in the last election.
42% of voters feel Harper would make a better prime minister, while only 15% felt Dion would do a good job, well behind even Jack Layton of the New Democrats.
Stephane Dion calls Harper’s government “the most conservative government in our history”… he’s trying out the “I Hate Bush” strategy (one that will cost the Democrats the election in the US).
Harper has lowered taxes, lengthened mandatory criminal sentences and actually allocated money for family child care (something the left has been crying for for as long as I can remember). Considering that he has managed to fulfill the promises he made last election despite a hostile parliament… not a bad job.
Thanks to Stephane Dion’s attempt to make himself into Al Gore of the north, it should be a cake walk.
Stephane’s carbon tax plans makes you wonder who he is reaching out to. Even NDP Layton starting the week of campaigning attacking the oil sands – probably one of Canada’s biggest sources of future wealth. Real smart stuff.
The “silent majority” will decide this election – we’ve had enough of the Liberal and NDP strategy of environmental/carbon tax terrorism through taxation.
And just in time.
We’re facing a challenging economy is the very near future – hopefully Harper will promise even lower taxes to help us through it.
