Bit of a mish mash, but that's how most working people are seeing this election. Sound bites while eating supper. Most voters are still busy getting the kids to school and then getting themselves to work. No-one at work yesterday cared about the election. Not one person mentioned it. The only ones liking it are the MSM, and they are doing a shifty job of it.
Dion is a perfect example of Peter's Principle, being elevated above his level of competence. The guy is out of his depth and floundering like the cod I caught in PEI. I would feel sorry for him except he is a Liberal, and has moved that party so far to the left that Layton looks conservative! Speaking of Layton, he just told all people west of Manitoba to bug off. He wants to close down the oil sands....right, kill the whole Canadian economy because you want votes?
I like the contrast in the video between PM Harper and Dion. As a voter, who would you choose?

From the Winnipeg Free Press: the "12 dirty dozen riding to watch"
Surrey North
Remember Chuck Cadman? The Reform MP who lost the Conservative nomination in his Surrey North riding in 2004 and then ran as an Independent and blew the competition away? The man whose decision to vote with the government in the spring of 2005 saved the Paul Martin Liberals from a budget defeat and an election? The man the Tories allegedly attempted to bribe to vote with them and bring down the Martin government?
He died of cancer in 2005, but his impact on the government lives on. Now his wife, Dona Cadman, is running for the Conservatives in Surrey North. She is the reason the bribery allegations went public after she told the story to Cadman's biographer.
Surrey North is an eastern Vancouver suburb with the second-highest population of Indo-Canadians in the country. More 40 per cent of its population are immigrants.
In 2006, after Cadman's death, the Tories poured money into the riding, but the NDP's Penny Priddy blew the others out of the water, defeating Tory Dave Matta by more than 6,400 votes.
