March Polling vol 1

Here we are, nearly half way through the month of March and the closing ceremonies feels like yesterday. Time must fly when you're having fun! Here are my webpolls for the first half of the month. It was a hectic two weeks, with confidence motions, political grandstanding, and opposition members directly accusing the government of request Afghan officials torture specific criminals. The week ahead sees the leader of the opposition skipping work for a hypocrisy tour ahead of his Canada at 150 Thinkers Conference.
