Damage Control... Report!
After Jean Brault's testimony in the Sponsorship Scandal was made public, the Liberals have damage control units on full alert. Polls (who believes those after the last US election, neh???) suggest their popularity is at a dangerously low level, and if a snap election occurred right now, Liberal votes could be as low as only 25% compared to 36.2% for the Conservatives. It is no wonder Harper is pushing for an election right now!
In fact, they seem to be in such a bind, that they are goign to table many of the policies outlined in their campaign last year, including Kyoto climate treaty, foreign policy reviews and other things... Basically saying that if we have an election and they get voted out, all of those policies will go with them.
Most party leaders are only "considering" tabling a non-confidence vote in the House of Commons. The only real threat I suspect is from Stephen Harper... He is still pissed at the same-sex marriage bills!!! Must be an Albertan. Heh.
