This is what stand out to me:

More of those surveyed picked Mr. Martin as the best person to lead Canada: 42 per cent compared with 34 per cent for Mr. Harper....

...But 40 per cent of respondents selected Mr. Harper as the person Canadians trust, compared with 35 per cent for Mr. Martin.

Canadians don't trust the person they think will make the best leader. Yet the person who isn't their first pick for leader is who they trust [banging head on wall]! Now I know why I'm losing my hair! Canadians prefer criminal socialists over more honest conservatives.

Hmmmm...If the article would've not mentioned Canada, I'd think he'd be talking about good'ol USA! The sheeple prefer the RAPIST and his WIFE instead of simple good nature and sincere pro-American candidates!

National Review had a good article about Canada's conservatives being like the post-Goldwater Repub's. Let's hope Alberta takes back Ottawa.

"Canadians prefer criminal socialists over more honest conservatives."

It's simple. Communists can forgive ANYTHING to further their socialist agendas. The ends justify anything that may occure during the process.

Well, when you have a state owned media outlet that sucks-up to communist better than Jane Fonda in an NVA officer's hut, what do you expect the great brainwashed masses to think? On the other hand, Fox is available in Canada and that may help turn the tide for the Graet White North.

Sounds like Edwin Edwards in Louisiana in the 1980s. No one could ever trust him but they knew he could "get things done," over the incumbent Republican Governor Dave Treen, who people trusted but saw as too decent for his own good and ineffective.

Edwards won the 1983 Gubernatorial election over Treen in a landslide. I don't know what the dynamics are in Canada but if they're similar, Harper is going to have to fashion himself as more of a leader than he has done thus far.

Good Canadians were taken in by Trudeau and have been hook line and sinker for conservatives ever since.

I understand the French, but what's wrong with the Ontario-ans?

This is the Globe & Mail. The NY Slime of Canada! It cannot carry a positive spin for the Conservatives without reminding it's liberal readers in Toronto and Montreal, Vancouver, etc that all is not lost. They schill for the Liberals. Pathetic excuse for a paper.
