According to the Leadership Indicators:
That while the Liberal Party under Michael Ignatieff continues to try and suggest they have the moral high ground in the "ethics" discussion, Michael Ignatieff is seen, clearly, to be the least trustworthy of the three major party leaders - the actual numbers showing 26.6% of respondents find Stephen Harper to be the most trustworthy leader, with less than half of those, or 12.7%, finding Michael Ignatieff to be the most trustworthy leader.
To be sure, as the polls indicate, Harper's numbers have gone down since the last poll results a month ago.
As they should. The handling of the Bev Oda fiasco is a black mark on the party and shouldn't be rewarded - however, as I have blogged in the past, the effort to make this an election on "Ethics" is a bad move for the Liberal Party as Canadians memories are not that short, and the stinging breach of trust in the Adscam fiasco clearly outweighs any current ankle-biting going on by the Liberals over the election expense issue and the Bev Oda affair.
And it isn't helped when yet another good Liberal Soldier, Senator Ray Lavigne, has been just convicted of fraud on the tax payer and may well be going to jail.
But such are the missteps of the arrogance and ignorance of the Liberal Party of Canada - who refuse to do a public mea culpa for their mistakes and also refuse to reconsider their plans to embark on one questionable social engineering effort after another. With the threat of "national daycare" and other intrusions into Provincial jurisdiction and individual autonomy on the horizon should the Liberal Party gain power - and little else to offer Canadians other than vague complaints over "Stephen Harper's Canada", it could be a long, long time before the Liberal Party gains power again in this Country.
Which is good.
So.. election? What's the point? Except, perhaps to help show Michael Ignatieff the door.
And maybe THAT is the point.

Now we have John Ibbitson in the G&M trying to spin the fighter jet purchase against the Prime Minister . . ...
Stephen Harper emerges virtually unscathed every time, as the MSM sinks slowly into the leftist swamp.
The Liberal Party is unbelievably corrupt, blogs like yours do an excellent job holding them accountable.
Great article!
Thanks for the compliment Don - and thanks for stopping by.. and I agree, it is very, very clear that the dominant media has a leftward slant and I think blogs are the great equalizer.
