Canadian Politics Today

It was bad enough that the Liberal Party of Canada, leaderless, bankrupt, in total disarray, and managing to find all the most divisive subjects for a leadership contest (Israel, Quebec) was still almost or exactly tied in the polls with the Conservatives.

What does it say for Stephen Harper's leadership now, that in at least one poll, the Liberal Party of Canada, leaderless, bankrupt, in total disarray, and managing to find all the most divisive subjects for a leadership contest, has pulled slightly ahead?

At this point, I think the Liberals could choose anyone but Ignatieff* and walk away with the next government. It'd be a minority, but they'd have it.

*And not just because I hate Ignatieff - the NDP and left-Liberal voters Ignatieff repulses (like me) are Harper's last hope to keep the left divided and squeak out the next government.

I disagree.Ignattief may be a vulnerably fool who lets the press prod his weak spots but he knows what the liberals are trying to do and can interfere for the better.
