No Confidence!

A quick round up of available information on the upcoming Federal election:

The vote was 171 to 133 saying that the House has no confidence in the governing Liberals. Paul Martin will take that long walk to the Governor Generals office to request a January 23, 2006 election.

The latest Poll suggests this is going to be close. The Pollara Poll has The Libs at 36%, the Cons at 31%. With a 2.8% accuracy, 19 times out of 20, well take 2.8 from the Liberals, give 2.8 to the Conservatives, and it's close.

And the early soundbites say... this is also going to be nasty. Don't let any one tell you different, Paul Martin fired the first salvo.

"Stephen Harper sees no positive role for government, not in improving the lives of Canadians, not even in standing up for Canada,"

Remember that quote in two weeks time when the Toronto Star is complaining about dirty tactics of everybody but the Liberals, the 'American' style mud slinging was started by Martin.

I'm looking so forward to this: it's going to be fun!
