My Comment: Liberal party members were putting up their posters 2 days ago in St. Henri, Montreal. Hmmmm .... they certainly feel confident that we are going to the polls.
My prediction .... the government will fall this afternoon, and we will have our election on May 2. The opposition is hoping to exploit the ethical problems of the Conservative Party .... yup .... the Liberals with a long and horrible history of corruption are going to call the Conservatives to be accountable. My suggestion .... don't go there, most Canadians remember what happened the last time that the Liberals were in power, and will not be impressed with this direction. My suggestion .... stick with the economy and on how the Liberals will help Canadians with their debts and job prospects.
