But I’ll tell you, in a lifetime of conversation with my father, about everything under the sun, that was probably the most awkward and artificial conversation we could have had.

Advanced voting kicks off today. The area has elected both Liberals and Conservatives in recent campaigns, but went solidly Conservative in 2011.
Speaking at a grocery store in the suburban Toronto riding of Don Valley North, Trudeau said that would be the first piece of legislation to be introduced in Parliament by a Liberal government after election day October 19. The latest polls show the NDP down to between 27 and 31 percent, with the Bloc tied with them at 28 to 30 percent support.
But the NDP’s position on the niqab has made voters less interested in the FTQ’s plan of attack, Cadieux said.
Mulcair, bolstered by local federal NDP candidates and provincial NDP MLAs at Saturday afternoon’s rally, deflected questions about competition on Vancouver Island.
The Grits have pledged to run deficits of up to $10-billion a year for three years to put money into infrastructure projects.
We are a country that reflects the rise in population, power and influence of the West, which has mostly voted Conservative at the federal level for half a century.
“Voters are responding to it”.
“The large majority of people answer by saying they want change”.
The Conservatives have relentlessly pushed its ban on wearing the niqab during citizenship ceremonies, a vote-determining issue really only in Quebec, which unfortunately for the NDP is the province that is home to most of the party’s seats.
The New Democrats also accused Harper of doing nothing to address climate change.
Advance polls are open throughout the Thanksgiving weekend.
“British Columbia might decide the whole thing”, Sanford said. The Conservatives would capture 116 seats, with the NDP, who began the campaign in August as front-runners, placing a distant third with 69.
“We’ve seen the consequences of a Liberal government here in Ontario: massive tax hikes, out of control spending, sky-high hydro bills, business closures”.
The Conservatives won two Island seats in the 2011 election and are targeting the newly created riding of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford – where Conservative Shari Lukens is running – for a third.
“That’s not the sign of a party with momentum”. While leaders try to hit as many ridings as possible, there’s also an “auxiliary” tour of leading caucus members and high-profile candidates-ministers, typically, in the case of the incumbent governing party-that helps wave the party flag across Canada during the campaign and boost fundraising in ridings. Responding to his political rivals’ scorn over Canada’s participation in the US-led coalition against the Islamic State group, the prime minister as he seeks a fourth mandate said he would continue the military mission until at least April 2016.
“The Kitsilano station could have responded to those events within minutes”.

With Mulcair already firmly committed to bringing in balanced budgets, Trudeau’s move not only separated himself from the other two leaders, but he effectively shackled Mulcair to Harper’s side when it comes to budgeting.
