The Mulroney/Schreiber thing leads to one thing: same old, same old.  Canadians are no longer buying the new government spin, let alone one that is based solely on beating up on the Opposition.

On the other hand, this isn't the first time that Decima had the Libs ahead in '07, as you <a href="http://scottdiatribe.gluemeat.com/2007/06/12/more-ugliness-if-youre-a-tory-libs-lead-in-latest-decima-poll/">pointed out</a>.  And things picked up for the Tories during the fall, if memory serves. Anyway, if the past couple of elections have shown us anything, it's that federal polls at this point are really meaningless - and yeah, I've said the same thing when the Tories were ahead, though obviously I'd rather be up than down.  And there'll undoubtedly be bumps and dips in polls as time goes on.  But at least according to the Decima polls you've <a href="http://scottdiatribe.gluemeat.com/?s=decima">chosen</a> to cite in recent months, not a heck of a lot has changed, so I'm not sure if this particular poll is really that newsworthy.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('11240','Jason Hickman'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('11240','Jason Hickman','Maybe.&nbsp; It was a lousy few weeks of coverage, to be sure.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, this isn\'t the first time that Decima had the Libs ahead in \'07, as you &lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/scottdiatribe.gluemeat.com\/2007\/06\/12\/more-ugliness-if-youre-a-tory-libs-lead-in-latest-decima-poll\/&quot;&gt;pointed out&lt;\/a&gt;.&nbsp; And things picked up for the Tories during the fall, if memory serves.\r\n\r\nAnyway, if the past couple of elections have shown us anything, it\'s that federal polls at this point are really meaningless - and yeah, I\'ve said the same thing when the Tories were ahead, though obviously I\'d rather be up than down.&nbsp; And there\'ll undoubtedly be bumps and dips in polls as time goes on.&nbsp; But at least according to the Decima polls you\'ve &lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/scottdiatribe.gluemeat.com\/?s=decima&quot;&gt;chosen&lt;\/a&gt; to cite in recent months, not a heck of a lot has changed, so I\'m not sure if this particular poll is really that newsworthy.'); return false;">Quote</a></div> Maybe.  It was a lousy few weeks of coverage, to be sure.

Canadians are finally seeing what a buncha nincompoops we got at the top. Ambrose, O'Connor, Baird, Lunn, Clement. The talent pool on the Con side of the house ain't particularly confidence-inspirin'.  The level of incompetence is starting to worry Canadians and Chalk River really drove home how incompetent they are and how that incompetence is affecting public health and safety.  I think SchreiberBriber had a minor impact. The early stalling by Harper wrt Mulroney did not go unnoticed. I've seen some Reformatories almost gleeful at the prospects of purging the CPoC of Red Tories like Mulroney and MacKay.
