Liberals Rise from the Dead in Quebec
Apparently I am not the only person outraged with Steve’s (in?)action in regards the Middle East conflict. A poll released today put the Liberals in Quebec back in front for the first time since December. So a party with no leader and 11 different positions on the conflict has pulled ahead of Commandant Steve. Harper won the election because the people chose the devil the Liberals talked so badly about over Po-Paul. With the Liberals crossing ahead of the Tories in Quebec, the Tories must be shaking in their boots.
Two leadership candidates have bucked the Sacred Cow that was hard-line Trudeauvian federalism. Quebec nationhood is widely accepted among most Liberals in Quebec, including he stubborn ones like myself. The fiscal imbalance is something we want to address, and will only promise to fix when we know exactly what we have to do to fix it. Harper won Quebec City because they wanted a federalist who would listen to them and did not want to vote for the Bloc. These PLQ strongholds gave their votes to Harper because he was a man who supposedly came through on promises. And for two weeks, it certainly looked that way.
Bob Rae and Michael Ignatieff have captured the pulse of federalist Quebeckers and must capitalize on it or we risk losing these federalists to the Bloc, where their interests are always second-best. Quebeckers like what they hear from Liberals. Time for us to pounce, not after 3 weeks, not after 8 years, but NOW!
Commandant Steve, you’re on the clock.
Note: Notice how nobody is talking about Jumpin Jack. Good!

And sowing hatred against the Quebecois has always been a way to get votes in many parts of English speaking Canada.
Both are based on lies and both are reprehensible.
I haven't seen any poll which attributes the Liberals' bump in Quebec to Ignatieff or Rae. I think that might just be a bit of spin in favour of your favourites.
ressurected = back from the dead
Quebeckers are drawn to candidates who want to address fiscal imbalance and recognize Quebec as a nation, both things that have over 80% support in Quebec.
It is not rocket science Rob, if I was spinning I wouldnt be throwing Bob a bone
Antonio,
Tu devrais savoir qu'il ne faut pas sauter trop vite au conclusion quant au dernier sondage. Un sondage ne fait pas une élection. Le sondage a été réalisé en plein milieu de l'été alors que beaucoup de Québécois sont 1)en vacances et à l'extérieur 2)ne sont pas intéressés trop trop à la politique.
Avant de sauter au conclusion, attendons de voir s'il y aura une tendance.
Ce que le dernier sondage indique, c'est que les libéraux et conservateurs sont au coude à coude chez les fédéralistes...mais le Bloc québécois mènent toujours au Québec. Rien à pavoiser pour les fédéralistes du Québec.
Et honnêtement, je ne vois pas où Ignatieff Rae et al. ont un quelconque lien avec la «remontée» libérale dans les sondages.
Attendons un peu d'autres sondages cet automne avant de s'exciter le poil de jambe.
Can someone point out to me where I said we were going to win 75 seats?
I simply noted that we were not "wiped off the face of the Quebec political landscape" as some doom and gloomers were saying january 24th
Nono. Cherniak predicted the 75 seats as part of the Paul Martin Majority. Not Antonio.
