No kidding

According to the Globe, support for the Conservatives is slipping. According to a poll conducted by the Strategic Counsel, the Tories are at 36 percent, which is roughly their level of support in the last election. The Liberals are at 30 percent, the NDP at 13, and the Greens are now up all the way to 12.

Allan Gregg, the head of the Strategic Counsel, said this about the Tories: "They tend to get good solid marks on management issues and economic questions, but when you get into the social or ideological issues, they find themselves offside with mainstream Canada." Yup.
