Conservative Lead Grows

The Conservative Party has increased its lead to 14 points over the Liberals. They lead in every province except Quebec, where the Bloc leads. The Conservatives garner 42.3% in the latest Nanos poll while the Liberals hold 28.4%, the NDP 16.5%, and the Greens 3.8%. This poll seems to indicate the Conservatives may be heading towards a majority government.

The key area, as usual, will be Ontario for the Conservatives and the Liberals.  If the Conservatives can pull substantially in front of the Grits and capture key ridings in the 416/905 area around Toronto, they will have a much better chance of forming a majority government.

The NDP seems to be recycling many of its past promises which hold little weight considering that Jack Layton has almost no chance of becoming PM.  Meanwhile, the Liberals are promising countless new programs ranging from universal daycare to university grants.  All the while, Ignatieff continues to criticize Harper for the deficit although his new programs would undoubtedly add to the government's fiscal imbalance.

Prime Minister Harper has rightly returned to critcizing the wasteful gun registry which the NDP and Liberals are hell bent on maintaining despite the enormous waste and ineffectiveness involved.  Moreover, Harper is promising key measures to strengthen the Canadian economy by lowering corporate and individual tax rates.  This will enable Canada to be ever more competitive in the global market place.
