It's about time the Premier lowered royalty rates for the oil industry. He shouldn't have touched them in the first place.Since he raised them couple of years ago, thousands of jobs have been lost, revenues for the government was drastically reduced etc. in turn every sector has suffered. He believed Albertans were not getting "our fair share." (wasn't how I felt btw.) So he went abo

The Conservatives are "in control of their destiny" over the next year, Mr. Nanos said, adding that Mr. Harper has likely learned a lesson from his unpopular decision to suspend Parliament for strategic reasons. "The one lesson in the last 60 days that the Conservatives have learned is that even when you're sitting on a 10-point lead, it can change very quickly just from one politic

They all elicit the same comments, time and time again - just depends on the result as to who says what...
Party supporters of all stripes, who are blind partisans, always react to poll results in one of two ways:
If you are a fan of the governing party, and the result is in that party's favour - "WOOHOO! Majority here we come!"

There will be an election in the United Kingdom in a couple months, and though I usually do not like doing this, I am going to predict the outcome: it will be a Labour hung Parliament (Canadians would call it a minority government).This prediction may be surprising considering that the Conservative Party has been ahead of the Labour Party since October 2007. The Conservatives enjoyed heights of 49

Like Iggy himself, I don't like to comment on polls but this one is pretty interesting:Liberals get 29% support.Iggy is seen as the best Prime Minister by 21% of voters.Right now, fully one quarter of Liberal voters would opt for Jack Layton or Stephen Harper before having to vote for Michael Ignatieff. For the good ship Liberal, Michael Ignatieff is not a drag, he's an unseen iceberg struck at

Yesterday Finance Minister Ted Morton tabled the 2010 budget in the Alberta Legislature. With the economy suffering, a record deficit, the PC's plummeting in the polls, you would have thought Premier Ed and company would have seen the light and gotten their act together. Not so!

Bo's rambling state of the union address has done little to improve his ratings in the polls. After only one year in office, the hope and change candidate continues to be in free fall.

...Republican’s “paranoid style”? To answer the poll at all we have to accept this spin.
