CANADA: an election this fall?
So it looks like there will be a Federal Election called this weekend. The only way I can interact with this election, the issue and the people is through the Internet (you can't imagine how little coverage Canadian politics gets in the local and international press - imagine zero and you are close).
I am looking to you my TFP friends to help me keep up on the news on the ground. To help me understand the issues of this election and how things are playing out.
I am having a difficult time determining the mood of the nation (there is almost no coverage of people like Layton or Duceppe - is it really all about Harper and Dion)?
One poll I just read suggests that when the dust settles, Harper could be able to squeak through with a majority. How realistic do you think this is? Will Harper be able to stand on his, "Promises Made, Promises Kept" and "Five Point Plan" ideals that he put forward in the last election? Or has his record been less than stellar?
What are you thinking?
