If JimRob, etc. approve this is the Live Thread for the Canadian General Election, on January 23rd, 2005.
We have a while to go before the returns start coming in, but I thought the thread needed to get up and running.

When the data is fragmentary, its hard to connect the dots to make sense of larger trends. All that can be said is the polls haven't been wrong so far.

What most people do not realize is the fact that Stan Rogers was a Scottish Canadian folk singer who died a hero. The Air CAnada flight he was on si=uffered a fire aboard and Stan went back in the aircraft to help other passengers escape. He was overcome by the smoke and collpsed in the aircraft AFTER he went back in.
He is a true patriot of Canada and an icon not only in folk sining , but an icon for courage!!!
He did not have to die, he did because he went to the aid of others in the face of death!!!

When I lived in Mississauga, Ont, in the seventies, people would remark on my Texas accent. When they'd ask me where I was from, if I said "The US," I'd get this cold shoulder. But if I answered, "Texas," they'd be all excited, welcoming and wanting to hear about cowboys et al.
It seemed churlish to remind them that Texas was a part of the US, so I didn't.

And likely a little better than the polls. They beat the poll average in Atlantic Canada in 2004 too, though.

The Atlantic isn't their greatest source of strength. So even a small improvement over their 2004 vote total is an encouraging sign.

I agree. Liberalism is upside down and it's extremely destructive to the soul of man. Almost an entire generation of young people have been fed nothing but liberalism. These are our future leaders? God Help us!!
