Here are the latest poll results:

I expect the Bloc will be decimated. The Bloc voters are social democrats, and will vote NDP because they believe an NDP federal gov't will deliver to Quebec, more benefits, entitlements and political leverage in Ottawa.
Pollsters ignored recent Canadian and world events that indicate just how politically powerful social media has become. Voting NDP by the 18-24 year old group has gone viral outside of Quebec, and coast to coast in every riding across Canada. Furthermore, this demographic is idealistic, has nothing to lose, and has no memory of just how damaging NDP gov'ts have been.
Assuming the NDP surge continues and holds through Monday's voting, I expect an NDP coalition gov't. If that happens, watch the Canadian dollar and stock markets go into free fall as foreigners sell the dollar and Canadian equities. All business plans will go on hold until the smoke clears on NDP carbon tax, tax increases, increases in entitlements etc. Small business will have to issue pink slips immediately and consumer spending will drop off the cliff as a result of job loss worries.
LoneClone, be careful what you wish for, as you might just get it. |
