Nanos - UB Poll: Majorities in Canada and the US support greater co-operation (2009-02-18)

• Dowd - Oops sorry - Total Iggy face time was just over 13 minutes, not 30 and the only camera was a liberal staffer with a camcorder. No sound was allowed by...
• Dowd - Why do you feel a need to take personal at shots Larry Cannon. He is a good man. Just because you have switched political loyalties does not change th...
• Dowd - Never said that you did. I said that it was another Liberal lie. It came from the Iggy himself.
• Westerner - I agree with you on Jane. She is also not all that bright. In person she comes across as more of a bubble than on camera, if that is possible. Do...
• Dowd - Criticism of the Tory file on China is legitimate. Minor gaffes in terminology are not. We are weak in that area and our approach has been wrong. I co...
• And then there are those who just do not understand the concept of loyalty and that a team will not always be on the winning side and will sometimes make mis...
• Dowd - I find it interesting that you profess to know the inner mind of a man you admittedly hardly know. I also find it ironic that while you accuse the PM ...
• I have been listening to your "I am a Conservative and Harper has to go" schtick now for some time and have found it quite amusing. I actually laughed out lo...
• Dowd - Corporations are neither Liberal nor Conservative. They are for whomever who is for them. Their support of the Liberals over the past two decades says...
• Dowd – I think that you are being a bit disingenuous and slightly revisionist in your comments regarding the PM and the environment. The PM has always said (...
• OK Jack. To each their own.
• Dowd - And to continue the thought even further - It was very good judgement on corporate Canada's part to buy Liberal politicians. That is why LPC corporate...
• Dowd – Your comments are very telling about your real reasons for jumping parties. Now it is clear to me. It is all about you I guess? You are disgruntled fo...
• Dowd - What the opposition needs to know about Michael Ignatieff. The left’s perspective of the new leader of the LPC from those on the left who know hi...
• Dowd - I was wondering how long it would take for the liberals to try and blame the Que pension debacle on the Tories. How pathetic!
• Dowd - I'll let you check you list of the 300. BTW how many job offers are you getting from the Liberals?
• Dowd - It should be no surprise that a left winger would pan a Tory. What is telling is his take on what a person low character Iggy is. Is this the only res...
• Thanks parnel - Here's a new idea for your next name - Mr. Run On Sentence!
• OOPS! I had a good laugh when last night on Power Play Tonda got cornered by Tom Clark and had to admit that she got this wrong when the GG came out and sai...
• Unless parnel knows something that we all do not, which is highly unlikely I think that Justin Trudeau is a he not a she? Another example of just how well in...

• yeah sure whatever parnel.
• "Harper is a [EDITED BY MODERATOR]or a giant [EDITED BY MODERATOR]." Not as much as someone who pretends to be something that they are not. Like pretending ...
• If this weak response is all you can offer to counter my posts they must be true.
• Yeah sure parnel. Not even a nice try.
• As much as he would like to be Iggy is no Obama. In fact he more Bush that Barrack! The anti-Ignatieff attack is more than it appears Posted: February 25...
• Hey there pardner it is you that should check your facts. First of all no one has ever alleged that the money was a bribe. Even Schreiber does not allege ...
• Dowd - Quite right, and the dismal fundraising numbers of the LPC are an indication of just how appropriate they feel it is.
• Pres Obama met privately (one on one) with the Mexican Leader of the opposition Andrés Obrador for 1 hr 15 mins in the Oval Office which included a private l...
• Dowd - OK, we will see if their newly hired Whiz can save them from bancrupcy.
• Michael C- I am so deeply hurt (NOT). Keep up the act, you are getting better at it.
• Dowd - Enloy your "job" as volunteer in your local riding Assn.
• Bernie - What is your version of the truth? Is it the same as the AGs or is she a "liar" as your friend parnel claims?
• Dowd – I think that you had better check your switches because yours seem to set to BS. You seem to just be making it up as you go along. In one post you are...
• Dowd – One would think that if you were going to belittle a person of Peter MacKay’s calibre you would do your homework and have at least a vague idea about ...
• Hey Jack - Nice "Quote" that you made up. Too bad that the Russians never actually said it. I guess the real farce is the one that you are trying to pull off.
• Dowd - Sour grapes over what? I didn't get passed over for a commission position. The sour grapes seem to be all yours. I have no doubt that if you had been ...
• Personally I am rooting for the Liberals in Quebec. I hope that they overtake the Bloc by double digits.
• I am sure that Peggy remembers as we all do the backstabbing that went on between Chretien and Martin and of course the more contemporary public slaying of D...
• parnel are you still posting this crap - After the GG corrected her even Tonda admitted on Power Play that she got it wrong. If you are going to tell lies pe...
• Gee parnel - I just cannot pass up the opportunity to use the words truth and parnel in the same sentence as it will likely never come along again. Thanks fo...
• Dowd – My comment about Russia being our NBF was tongue-in-cheek. Officially they are but in reality we need to be very wary of the Putin regime (it still is...
• Jack - If you care to offer any facts I would be happy to counter them?
• Hey Manitoban- 97? Come on! Even if this were true (and I do not know one way or another if it is) it would have happened back when Micheal Ignatieff was a r...
• 1) Crime and Saftey: I see that the Liberals and NDP have finally realized the importance of this issue. They are running around with their hair on fire t...
• Dowd - Please note that this was directed at parnel, not you.
• Dowd - P.S. I am not pretending!
• Well parnel, given your track record we all know how well informed that you are!
• Westerner - I think the "others" that parnel is referring to are all him. Among his other obvious mental disorders do you think that he has a multiple person...

• Dowd - Yes you are right "commissioners are completely divorced from the political world to maintain their neutrality and impartiality." Just like SCC Jud...
• I as I said earlier I for one, am rooting for the Grits in Quebec. I hope that they get a double digit lead on the Bloc and hold it for a few years!
• Well instead of statement how about actions? But first from the CPC Platform: "We are committed to a universal, publicly funded health care system that resp...
• Sure, OK Jack. So now you are taking the Russians view over your own government? BTW just for your info the aircraft were scrambled from NORAD HQ in Montana,...
• Tom - Good point on Dion - Given Charest's recent conduct he would not have much support outside Quebec. You are also right about politics being a blood ...
• No I do not jest and my name is not surely. It is patience remember?
• Well Jack it seems that it is you who are short on facts. I don't see how you can agree with both the Russians and the Americans when the Americans are suppo...
• Facts imply that you have proof. Where is it?
• Dowd- Not to worry, I am still enjoying this discourse very much but I detect a note of frustration in your comments? I am just pointing out the contradictio...

• Hey westerner - parnel is not even a good liar! He posts "MRM... not sure who parnel is..." Under the name "Moving forward (Parnel's 11th suspension)" and th...
• Yeah he is like a bad rash. No one wants him around but he just won't go away.
• Dowd - Good of you to be so considerate of the PM. Thanks.
• Dowd - We agree on this one. Do you agree with Jack below that a resurgence of the Grits in Quebec will help Iggy when he wants to bring the govt down?
• Jack – Not sure if you just don’t know the facts or you intentionally make them up to try and fool people (like your “quotes”). I suspect the latter. Oops yo...
• Dowd – Cannon did not make a mistake in the first place. You did by incorrectly accusing him of something that he did not do. Disappointing that you will not...
• Dowd - Don't tell me that you are starting to make up "quotes" like your friend Jack? When did Baird say that the PM "was not serious about going to an elect...
• Dowd - These ads work. That is why all parties use them. Just like the ones the NDP just started airing on Iggy. The Tory ones will be very effective because...
• Jack - That is still the goal. Who said that it changed. Just you I think? Certainly not the PM.
• Jack - What names? Can you give a real quote from the PM where is calling someone a name?
• larryl - How would you know? You have never won a argument with me.
• Jack - Your inability to comprehend the issue does not mean that the PM has "flip flopped" Unlike Iggy who now says that he is favour of an extension of the ...
• Jack - Good one. You are out of answers I guess?
• Jack - Sorry you are wrong again but at least you got the quote right this time though. That only took 8 posts to accomplish. But they did not call a press c...

New Nanos Poll: Measuring Political Coat-tails - Leader Impact on Local Party Candidates + Budget Performance (2009-02-13)

• Ignatieff has friends in Obama's White House – NOT! As I read this article on the CTV website on Sat I could not help but laugh aloud. This is a weak and ...

New Nanos National Poll - Lib 34, CP 33, NDP 19, BQ 7, GP 7 (completed Jan 7) (2009-01-09)

• Dowd - I just watched Rae on Question Period undermining Iggy on the Gaza situation. Not bad for the Foreign Affairs critic and in record time.

• Dowd - How do you expect events to move? What exactly are you predicting?
• Dowd - Respectfully you seem to be living in a political vacuum on this point. While Iggy is not well known to Canadians he is very well known inside the Was...

The House Returns - Ethics, Accountability and the Big Picture (Nanos Sun Column) (2008-04-28)

• Parnel is right. The centre has a great CEO. Stephen Harper!
• That makes no sense. You can't be a Liberal and be honest. Anyone who says that they are must be lying, which of course would make them a great Liberal.

• Stronach and Brisson were indeed bribed but not for money per se. Belinda has enough of that. What she craves is power and she would have sold her soul to be...
• John K- As you say, Belinda was bought by a chance to serve (as a minister) which means she was bribed no matter what motivated her. To throw out her politic...
• OK Parnel. Say that you are a sitting MP in a party other than the govt and as PM I offer to make you a Senior Minister. This will double your salary and pen...
• Passing off Belinda as "proper talent" is laughable. It was only illegal if there was bribe.
• You Liberals had better watch out, your starting to believe your own Spin. I'll put Harper up against Dion even on Harper's worst day. At least he is a real ...
• We'll see what Canadians think in the next election but I bet the more people see of Harper, the more they will like with the opposite being true of trhe goo...
• I think that you left out a few things that the Conservatives have going for them. Everyone who was in the room, including Cadman said no life insurance o...
• How can you say that no Liberals were involved with Adscam? Who do you think was handing over those big fat envelopes of cash and paying those over inflated ...
• Mike - You have been fooled by the Liberal ploy that big surplusses mean good fiscal policy. In truth the opposite is true, big surplusses mean that you are ...
• The media in Canada see their role in politics as one of assisting in the downfall of the Conservative government. Nothing else matters. Not journalistic eth...
• Parnel good luck with that. Martin was darn sight more attractive to Canadians than the wimpy "leader" you have now. By the way the latest poll puts that 67%...
• Hi Mike, The Liberals were a middle of the road party as you put it but the party has been hijacked by a bunch left wing kooks. Most notably the likes of Di...
• Mike What "economic mess" are you talking about?
• Mike I agree that an election should be held. Putting Dion beside Harper in a debate will be great for Harper. To bad the Liberal Party doesn't agree with...
• No it doesn’t. As I said earlier, surpluses are not good financial management. They mean that the govt is over taxing people and under funding programs. As I...
• An honest Liberal? Say it ain't so!
• Everyone who was in the room, including Chuck Cadman said no life insurance offer was made. Only financial considerations for election expenses which he woul...
• You won't find Harpers either.
• Wow! You really do need a reality check: He bought time! lol. He's been buying a lot of time lately. Check your facts. The RESP cannot become law now t...
• Agreed. Have a good one.
• I agree, there is no way that Paul Martin would stoop so low as to bribe someone for their vote! If you do not believe me just ask Scott Brison or Belinda St...
• Hey "nonpartisan" Floor crossing may well be as old as Parliament but if it involves a financial incentive like making one a Minister it is a bribe. It is...
• I agree, Chuck Cadman was a straight shooter. So I will take what he said repeatedly both publicly and privately above all others. That there was no insuranc...
• OK Tom, I will tell you. I think it is you that may be being a little selective. I agree that he was poorly treated by his Riding Assn but given the rules of...
• Another dupe who thinks that big deficits are good financial management when what it really means is that we are being over taxed while programs are being un...
• Mike - You will have to ask the Cadmans about that but it I suspect two are just supporting their mother who likely made some statements early on in an attem...
• It is not the Tories version of events that is not credible it is Mrs. Cadmans. If this was such an insult why would she wait until now to say anything and w...
• Not only have the Tories and NDP not seen the platform, most Liberals haven't either. I hope that the Tories run on more of the same. The same good govt we a...
• I suppose it is one possible version but in the end, pure conjecture.
• Hi Parnel-There was just Strategic Counsel poll done Mar 13 - 16 giving the Tories an 11 point lead so polls are all over the place. No reasonable person act...
• Gladiator! There theres the best bit of left wing flatulation I've heard in a while. He's been fighting since he became leader. Fighting to keep his job but ...
• I guess I hit a nerve Parnel. Nice rant, especially the part about Rae. He said it so it must be true. Theres logic! Give me a break. What do expect him to s...
• Parnel, Glad I'm not relying on your financial skills. Sorry my last post should have read that big surpluses are not good financial management. What they re...

Election fraught with risks - Nanos Ballot - Lib 33, Con 31, NDP 19, BQ 10, GP 8 (2008-02-08)

• These poll numbers are old news (2-4 Feb). The latest poll (13 - 16 Mar - source CTV website) has the Tories 11 points up on the Grits (38% to 27%) so don't...
• Harper doesn't want an election. Why would he? With wimpy heading up the Liberals the Tories have a majority! Latest poll numbers - Tories 38% - Grits 27%.
• I suppose, like the Strategic Counsel, the recent Crop Poll is also an arm of the great right wing conspiracy?

Who has the best chance to defeat Stephen Harper? (2006-12-01)

• Jeanne - "I think Bob Rae would be the best person to defeat Stephen Harper". I agree with that statement which is why I say - GO IGGY GO! Every member of th...
