According to the latest poll by Harris-Decima, the Conservative Party has now opened up a lead on the Liberals among female voters. This coming as some media pundits have been bashing the Tories on their maternal health initiative, claiming that it has backfired. If there truly was outrage among female voters, I don't think the Tories would be leading the Liberals in that demographic. The evidence is mounting that this "scandal ridden session" hasn't been scandalous at all, at least as far as "the Canadians" are concerned.
I think most Canadians can see that the Liberal push to bring safe abortions to Africa isn't about saving lives at all, as many pundits claim. "Botched abortions" rank very low on the causes of death in Africa and you could save millions more lives by providing access to clean drinking water, food, and inoculations against preventable diseases. This entire African abortion strategy is an entirely manufactured rouse by the left to get pro life activists talking about abortion in Canada. Either that or the strategy is more sinister and the goal is to reduce population growth.

I find it appalling that Western nations assume that they know best what Africa needs. The paternalistic attitude that abortion is the solution to Africa's problems is colonial. Will this policy be advocated in any other part of the third world (ie South America), or is this a solution only for Africa and brown babies? Absolutely shocking in its comtempt for third world peoples. I delight in telling my Liberal friends how their party advocates for abortion abroad. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteEach pollster has a different set of questions and method for their analysis.
ReplyDeleteWhat I always find funny is how many times the Pundits and News talking heads tell us Canadians are outraged to find a poll that clearly states otherwise.
The poor weather personality get it right more often than the political hacks on tv.
It must be difficult to cover a beat for years(politics) and realizing the majority of people are not interested or paying attention to all the noise.
Go back to other polls and you will see that the Conservatives are polling ahead of the Liberals in most areas except university educated.
ReplyDeleteWhat impresses me the most is the support of the 20-30 crowd, a shift is happening there. Maybe it's because the young voters have only known a Liberal government for so long that they are taking a better look at what this government is doing and liking it.
