Unfortunately for Harper, the "Liberals did nothing for x years" line will only play for so long. The Conservatives also have zero credibility on the issue and will only make token effforts under pressure. This wasn't one of their "top five" after all.

I think the Greens are the big winners on the issue. They can, rightly, point out that neither of the two interchangable main parties take the issue seriously. Too bad Elisabeth May is turning out to be such a flake.

Btw, have you seen the new polling?

OTTAWA (CP) - Support for Stephen Harper's Conservatives appears to have taken a nose-dive.

A new poll suggests the Tories have dropped to 30 per cent support and are in a statistical dead heat with the Liberals. The Conservatives had been polling near 40 per cent after their budget in late March.

The Decima Research survey, provided exclusively to The Canadian Press, also suggests Liberal fortunes are stalled at 29 per cent.

If there's good news for any political party, it's the New Democrats.

The NDP was at 18 per cent nationally, followed by the Greens at 11 per cent and the Bloc Quebecois at eight.

The telephone poll was conducted Thursday through Saturday and has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

Aside from the taken for granted crowd out west, the Conservatives are simply not winning us over.

I agree, another vote now would be pointless as the breakdown would probably be quite similar to what we have now.

I'm just amused as all **** watching Harper and the Tories desperately try to get those numbers in the majority range. Quite frankly I have no doubt Harper would sell his own grandma for a couple points of national support (or even a couple points in Quebec).

Politically we have returned to where we were twenty years ago.
