Its a blip. Ontario - most of it will swing to the Conservatives. The Bloc will take Quebec. The Conservatives will win everywhere else in the country. That puts them in first place but yet nowhere near enough to a majority. We'll see if the Conservatives make a breakthrough in the next six days.

Hopefully you're right and Canadians aren't just lemmings that would buy into the Left's lies and scare mongering.

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.
