... give them the boot. Or even, at least, top them. As far as I am concerned, one word took Harper from 44 to 34%. Asbestos. I had no idea that former "[h]igh-ranking member of the Canadian government, Transportation Minister Chuck Strahl, suffers from an asbestos-related cancer." The word frames perfectly that Harper's Canada is only an economic formula. He knows no better. Hey, we're merchants of death but at least we are merchants!
- - Utterly inappropriate matching of song with car ad.
- - If this is true, it shows you how utterly craptastic the Tory war room has been.
- - What's a beer style.
- - The really important question about the Royals.
- - Tory support drops again on Friday. Weirdest election of my life? Gotta love the superfluous late support for Harper on the Prairies where he can make no real gains.
Gotta run. US meetings. More US meetings.

Oh, you didn't know about Strahl?
He was diagnosed in 2005, after a lung collapsed during a triathlon. Inoperable and terminal.

Tar sands, asbestos, why not cluster bombs and landmines while we are at it - everbody works in Harper land.

Looks like the polls are stabilizing.
And so you most likely will continue to have Stephen Harper to kick around, Alan.
But wow, that last week got crazy.

Premature Jack Layton I guess.

The polls show 65% support in the Prairies leaving unguaranteed Tory seats wide open.
Reduced Tory minority on the horizon.

If the NDP do some sort of stellar showing (I don't think they have the organization to make this happen on election day, but it could happen) we could see an NDP lead NDP-Liberal coalition within the year, and another election within a year after that - after the Liberals let it fall a part to take a run at it with a new leader.

Could be. Unless Rae is the new Grit leader and Jack[!] retires.
