From the panic from the Canadian Left, they are not so sure the ordained order of things will continue. None of the three Leftist parties likes the other and they all have different agendas. Yes, the Liberals could win but they will likely find themselves paying a high price to stay in power.

True but another Liberal win is likely to ignite Western as well as Quebec separatism. It would be fitting if Canada came to an end under the Liberals' watch. Trudeaupia is in advanced state of decay and can't last forever. Sooner or later, something's going to give.

The poll finds that the loss of Conservative support has occurred particularly among male voters Why the shift among males? I know a male in Ontario whom I would ordinarily think of as conservative who is voting liberal.
I don't get it.

I don't think the poll is an aberration. All of the major polls showed the Liberals back in the lead late last week. Perhaps the Liberal attack ads are working (which might explain why men are flocking to the Liberals from the Conservatives, but women, who generally don't like attack ads, aren't). Also, Stephen Harper has made a few mistakes over the last few days, especially on the Air Canada Act bilingual services issue. He's also taking a beating over Alberta Premier Ralph Klein's refusal to release information on Alberta's health care reforms until after the election --- that may stop, since Klein has agreed to release some information before the election.
I think I read somewhere that Sunday's polls put the Conservatives back in the lead. That's kind of bizarre, if you think about it. In the U.S., Sunday polling is usually least favorable to Republicans, since the family values/cultural conservative types are usually at church or out with their families and are underrepresented. I would have expected the same to be true in Canada.
