Ok the Latest Poll is Very Good But.......

The latest Ipsos Reid poll shows Conservatives 19 points ahead of the Liberals. 
CPC-43%
Libs-24%
NDP-16%
Even in battle ground Ontario Conservatives are 16 points ahead of the Libs, 46vs30 points respectively.

Here's where the but comes in.  This poll is fantastic and would give the Cons a majority if the election were held today, but today is not voting day. 

The campaign hasn't even started yet.  Anything can happen on the campaign trail. Conservatives should not take things for granted just because the opposition is weak and the polls look good.

 If we want to hold polls like this Ipsos steady or even improve it can be done. There should be NO stupid mistakes from the war room or the candidates etc. Don't be overly confident. Take one day at a time. It will be a tough long nasty campaign.  Be determined and work hard like we're behind even though we are ahead and  that majority can be won  Let's not count our chickens before they're hatched.

The Possibiltiy of A Coalition of the Losers

The outcome of the election will be either a Conservative Majority or a Coalition of the losers.  John Ivison points out his article the very real possibility of a coalition if the Conservatives don't achieve a majority vote.
It is majority government or bust for the Conservatives in the coming election. The more the leaders of the Liberal party, the NDP and the Bloc Québécois talk, the more it becomes apparent that they are prepared to form a coalition of losers, in the event the House of Commons returns in something approximating its current form.

Jack Layton has been fairly open. We know where he stands. A coalition would be the NDP's only chance with power.
The NDP leader explicitly endorsed a coalition with the Liberals and the Bloc Québécois in his scrum in the foyer of the House of Commons Wednesday. “I have said I will work to ensure the ideas we campaigned on have the best possible chance of being implemented in Parliament. I will reach out to other parties who are willing to work with us,” he said.
Gilles Dueceppe would will do what is best for Quebec.  If it means getting into bed with the Libs and Dippers, he will do it.  

Roy Green asks the question coalition, yes or no.   He is asking the Liberal leader to fess up.
Answer the question Mr. Ignatieff. In the event of a minority Conservative Party election result might Canadians be treated to a rebirth of the Liberal, NDP, BQ coalition?
An on the record “yes” or “no” would be preferred. “Maybe” would be acceptable.
Instead you chatter about voters having the choice to walk through a “blue door” or “red door.” By the way, did you, did any of your associates take note that not once, but twice the first option you offered in front of national microphones and cameras was the “blue door”? Still having the bus towed to Harper Diesel are we?
Can you imagine Jack Layton, Pat Martin, Thomas Mulcair, Libby Davies, Scotty Brison in cabinet?  Gilles Duceppe as defacto Prime Minister?   Heaven help us! That would be the end of Canada as we know it!  That's exactly what will happen if we don't elect a Conservative Majority folks!

Was Jack Layton Bullied To Reject the Budget?

Senator Mike Duffy in an interview on CFRA reveals that Jack Layton was originally going to support the budget until he got bullied into not to supporting it by his Quebec MP Thomas Mulcair.  You have to hear it..  Listen here. and then pass it on.

An Election We Go

It seems inevitable now, we will be off to an election with a matter of days.  The coalition of losers just can't support a budget the seems pretty reasonable to me. Oh well I guess it's up to them.

  Going into an election Conservatives have the advantage.  Polls are looking pretty good, the war chest is in good shape, a weak opposition, a seasoned strong campaigner in PM Stephen Harper and a solid record of accomplishments.

The outcome of the campaign will be either a Conservative majority or a Coalition of the losers.  Can we win a majority?  Yes I believe we can but on the other hand we can't take anything  for granted.  It 's going to take hard work and determination in the ground war to succeed.

If you want a Conservative majority, do whatever you can to help. Donate, volunteer, etc.I know I will be posting as often as I can and I will be donating as well.  I will also be praying for our candidates, volunteers, war room staffers, our leader and those faithfully commit to our blogs.  Praying for strength, stamina, and ultimately a majority government because I have a feeling this campaign will a long very,very nasty one.  The coalition and their media will try to throw everything including the kitchen sink  at Conservatives in order to either hold us to a minority or to win. 

So let's roll up our sleeves friends and get to work.

No Real Pressing Reason to Go to The Polls

 Libluvin' Globe and Mail journalist Jeffery Simpson, scratching his head  thinking that  there isn't any pressing reason to go to the polls this spring.  He even concedes there is NO MAJOR SCANDAL !!!  You hear that opposition coalition? NO MAJOR SCANDAL!!!
Is Parliament more dysfunctional than usual? Is there an economic, political or social crisis? Is there a major scandal? Is there a big defining issue in front of the country? In short, are there objective reasons why it could be argued that Canada needs an election 2½ years after the last one?
The answer to all of these questions is obviously no.
He goes on to point out that only the Conservatives and the Bloc will benefit and doesn't understand what the  Liberals and the NDP are thinking.
Just why the Liberals and NDP apparently want an election is less explicable.
Even with all the controversy surrounding the Conservative government's "so called ethical problems," they are still the most trusted to deliver honest government and nothing has really changed in the latest Nanos poll.

So if the coalition gangs up and brings this current government down, they will do so at their own peril. To that I say then bring it on so that we can elect a Conservative majority  government and stop this whole nonsensical shenanigans that the coalition have been engaged in ever since the Christmas break so that real work can get done for real Canadians.
