The real trigger in the fall is going to be EI, and I would argue Harper has effectively taken it off the table with his Afghanistan file-like approach. Maybe we don't get everything we demand, but Harper will move enough on areas he already endorses to make a non-confidence look terribly opportunistic. If you don't have solid numbers within that dynamic, hard to see how you go to the polls. I guess we'll see how it plays out...Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-80196203550396211452009-07-07T13:46:20.915-04:002009-07-07T13:46:20.915-04:00"..one can assume they are doing better in ot..."..one can assume they are doing better in other areas of the country."<br /><br />Yeah, the other areas of the country that have a brain in their collective heads.sjwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425560486235905508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-59235557229828142842009-07-07T13:40:10.232-04:002009-07-07T13:40:10.232-04:00Well, that's if the Liberals only look at poll...Well, that's if the Liberals only look at poll numbers as their only reason for pulling the plug; which unfortunately seems to be their modus operandi at the moment. <br /><br />They need to figure out that a good election campaign will move #'s as well. If they're waiting to somehow get a "majority" type lead in the polls before they vote non-confidence, then we're going to be sitting here til the next supposed fixed election date, or whenever Harper decides to break his own law again.Oxford County Liberalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181314055142726735noreply@blogger.com
