Liberals and Conservatives tied in new poll, NDP behind

In Toronto, the Liberals have a comfortable six per cent lead over the Conservatives at 34 per cent and the NDP sits with 21 per cent support in the 416. The Harper government, to them, is top down and paternalistic.

Political parties hire pollsters to come up with numbers they feel will help them. Melvin, a Boutiliers Point senior, is repairing a mower in his yard when Godbold shows up and asks if he is thinking of voting NDP.

“It will give us a much clearer understanding than we’d otherwise get, I think, about where the leaders would want to take Canada in the world”, Prest says.

Incidentally, Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party, has stated in her economic plans that reducing costs and forgiving student debt are a priority.

In his letter made public on Friday, Trudeau vowed to bargain in good faith with public sector unions and work in partnership.

In 2011, the Conservative government put a two-year freeze on accepting new applicants in the family class as they tackled a huge backlog of cases – a legacy they blamed on the previous Liberal government.

“It’s the first time that anyone has done anything of this scale, with this kind of (polling) information and with this kind of volunteer capacity to get out the vote”, said Amara Possian, Leadnow’s national campaign manager. Leader Justin Trudeau has rejected forming a coalition with any other party if there’s a minority government after election day, but to much applause Kane said he thinks, “We would coalesce with the NDP, in some way, shape or form”.

In the United States, for example, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a policy where scientists are free to talk with the media any time they want, and are also welcome to express their views as citizens.
