The polls they are a-changin' but not enough to make a dispirited Liberal sing.

Two new public-opinion surveys suggest the recent Conservative wave of momentum may have crested or even receded a bit just days ahead of Monday's election.

A Decima Research poll, conducted Jan. 12-15 for The Canadian Press, put the Conservatives at 37 per cent support compared with 27 per cent for the Liberals.

The New Democratic Party stood at 18 per cent and the Bloc Quebecois at 11.

2. someone from Canada posted last night

what is happening is the vote is getting split between the liberals Democrats, New Democratic Party and Bloc Quebecois. Let us hope and pray that the 3 untie to block these neocons.

3. it won't happen

the NDP is playing the fly in the ointment here but the Liberals are also to blame-they could give the Republicans a run for their money on the corruption issue

4. Actually - the corruption issue was a $100 Million dollar program that

saw two million sloughed off by backroom boys and advertising firms. No Members of Parliament were implicated in anything - but not being vigilant enough. And it angered Quebec because it felt like money was being thrown at them and their heroes (which is what the program was about - upping Canada's profile across the country). It was a sponsorship program to give money to Canadian festivals and the like - but especially to Quebec (they had just had a referendum). All MPs took money from the program. It is just that some got into the hands of a few creeps. And it was not this past Liberal PM who was involved - it was the previous one.

Then there was an announcement the finance minister made on something that was expected - but his office announced there would be a press conference on something (no particulars) and the markets jumped that morning on speculation. But the RCMP got called because their is accusation of insider information. Because the markets jumped.

A long way from the Repukes. A long way.
