This poll means nothing.

A new poll came out today giving the Harper Conservatives a sizable edge in preference over the Ignatieff Liberals. I'm not surprised. I will give Harper credit for keeping the party's loose cannons under control. More of this and the Conservatives will be in their best possible position for the election majority that Harper's been lusting over for some time. This, however, is about the best they can do. It really is in Michael Ignatieff's hands to turn this whole thing around. But can he do it? Maybe recruiting Jean Crétien's former chief of staff, Peter Donolo, will make a difference. It better. This Conservative party, with a majority, would be a nightmare for Canada.
