That's not fair: Liberals have no perception of the passage of time.

The real test will be the actual election campaign when every party will get basically equal footing.
.
basically?
not entirely?
not on the CBC news?
Hey, you got Stephen Harper's dick out of your mouth long enough to make another jab at the CBC! Good for you!
what's the matter I thought lefties liked and promoted gay sex?
Are you trying to seduce me? Because it's working. Reow!

I find it rather ironic that when a poll says the Liberals are in front, the Conservatives around here say "The only poll that matters is an election", but when a poll says their guy is leading, then all of a sudden, it's "Hey, polls are great!"
Hmmm...
Hmmm...
well i guess but whats interesting is this poll is from same people who just a few weeks ago said liberals were ahead and it got posted on like every webiste and internet news site . so whats wrong with me posting it here ?

Decima research is a long time friend of the Tories and always has been, you can have five polls out there and four of them will be close not the same but close, but decima will have the Conservatives out in front. Now if Ipsos Reid had that information and numbers similar I would pay attention

I've found it to be the exact opposite, they were the ones who had the Tories behind before Christmas.

Statistics Canada reported the economy lost 18,700 jobs in December after seven straight months of gains, although the unemployment rate held steady at 5.9 per cent.
"The job numbers we got this morning were pretty astonishing," said Eric Lascelles, chief of economics and rate strategist at TD Securities.
"This is the first time we've seen a job loss of this magnitude since May 2003. I know market watchers are particularly concerned by the fact that the private sector shed 51,000 jobs in the month."
wow the tories are doing a great job eh?

mtbr..I know you went to school on the short bus.. but would you like to tell us how a 1% drop in the GST saved you 200 bucks on goods that cost 400... I guess you and the finance minister went to the same night school...lol

it's got nothing to do with taxes it's the value of the Canadian dollar.
you know as well as anyone Canadian retailers are still screwing Canadians...so screw them I buy online whenever possible
you complained about the rising loonie (maybe you should read your own posts)which is actually an advantage for most Canadians
BTW Alberta created 21000 jobs last month
