Harper's Train Starting to Derail
The Liberal train was derailed a few days ago, it's now back up and running full speed ahead, two good announcements and Harper has already started to come undone, yesterday we learned that the Conservative Tax Plan features a let "them eat cake" proposal which will send more low-income seniors onto the tax rolls and will also put a big burden on lower-income families. Then we hear from the Right-Wing Toronto Sun that Harper is thinking that he's going to have a majority, this is exactly what started contributing to his downfall in the last election, while I don't think he'll make goofball mistakes like saying Paul Martin supports Child Pornography, he is starting to go down hill.

I've been knocking on doors with the local Liberal candidate, there really hasn't been much change in people's attitudes. Many people are still undecided, but it is really easy to tell which side they support. Liberal and NDP supporters are usually very polite, Conservative supporters are usually ignorant. I personally knocked on about 200 doors and only met 3 Conservatives. About 20 percent of the people we spoke to were undecided, almost equal to what the pollsters are saying. Many Liberals will vote Green before wasting a vote on the Conservatives. It may not show it in the polls, support for the Green Party will probably increase again in this election.
Hey warbicycle:
I hear you. I have knocked on doors for my local Liberal candidate for three elections and I could always tell a Reformer, Canadian Alliance or hard Conservative supporter.
They were the ones always lacking in class. My candidate was a female and many of them would actually get in her face and call her a bitch or a whore, to the point where I would have to put my 150lb between her and them.
At least with supporters of the NDP or Progressive Conservatives they were polite while telling you to take a hike.
