Lol!
CBC's Poll Tracker shows a neck and neck race across the country, NDP slightly in the lead. Where Bro D and I live, however, it doesn't look so good, but at least it's Liberals and not the Conservatives leading. http://www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives...015/index.html ![]()

Meanwhile in my neighbourhood, I'm kinda surprised that 308.com is indicating that Robert Chisholm will probably lose to Darren Fisher (Liberal). I haven't even seen any Liberal signs up yet; it's all NDP or Conservative so far.

I wish. I used to be in Stoffer's riding, but a decade or so ago they snatched this shore and stuck it with Central Nova, so it's been MacKay for an eon. Ross Landry, was an MLA, ex-RCMP is running for the NDP here.
At least May isn't putzing around the riding this time. She really screwed the NDP candidate last federal election, as well as her own party because she wanted to run against MacKay.

![]() We have a big scandal that's been going on for at least 2 years. It's about a Harper appointed senator who fiddled his expenses, and the PMO gave him $90,000 to pay it back since he was broke, which the PMO should not have done, and Harper says he didn't know but everyone thinks he did know, and there's a trial on right now. It's such a gruellingly boring scandal that Canadians are in agony trying to follow it. But it may indeed affect election results and has led to the odd Conservative supporter going off on reporters, thusly: Note: guy is an idiot, it has nothing to do with tax returns, it's about bribery and stuff.

Dunno really. But there may be a perception there that only the CPC (as successors of Reform) cares about the West. (I can't help thinking of the Reform Party's old slogan "the West wants in" -- which Harper alluded to in one of his victory speeches.)

Assuming we get Mulcair as PM: I'm looking forward to the attempts to abolish the Senate. That'll be great fun.

The Senate is pretty entrenched. I remember a very long time ago it was considered a good rein on Parliament, a 'let's not be hasty' arena for second thoughts. That was before it just became a reward system for party cronies.

And even for some time afterwards.
Under Harper, though, it has been a quick rubber stamp of whatever Harper wants. Before his 2011 majority, he was using it to block opposition legislation passed by the House. The Senate didn't even bother with its traditional hearings and debate.

On Elizabeth May:
http://www.nationalobserver.com/2015...-topple-harper note: I encountered her mother a number of times. She lived for her causes, and was among the worst at listening to people of all the people I've met. ![]()

Not only is he an idiot, he's admitting to tax fraud and he has the funniest little voice.

Ooh, it keeps getting better. Now the polltracker shows the Conservatives getting fewer than 100 seats.
