And seeing that red line surpass the blue one on the Ontario graph should provide a huge boost. <br /><br />As for Quebec, remember that our premier is massively unpopular due to getting hammered daily by the opposition and the media for years now (and rightly so) over his government's notorious corruption. <br /><br />I sometimes wonder if the people answering the pollsters' calls here are clear on the question they are answering. While this province's voters are supposedly historically astute, I have my doubts that they truly understand the difference between the provincial and federal Liberals. <br /><br />I do know that Layton was on Tout le Monde en Parle two nights ago, and Ignatieff would be wise to get on there too. It is a very widely-watched show, and it provides the best platform there is for someone trying to introduce themselves into the political discourse.Scott in Montrealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702697033209213403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-5437082270577950572011-04-05T08:08:09.471-04:002011-04-05T08:08:09.471-04:00The Consortium, is doing it's best to keep the...The Consortium, is doing it's best to keep the spin cycle going that Harper paid for through Action Plan Media Scam, but eventually, they are going to cut their own losses, in order to maintain the last shred of their credibility among the non-internet crowd who still think tv and print is real news.Jerry Pragerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054428435443042500noreply@blogger.com
