The polling really seems to be coming back a bit after a huge Tory lead last week. Tory support has gone from 40% (borderline majority territory) back down to 36-37% (pretty much where they were last election). Meanwhile, the Greens have been steadily rising. The two questions are (1) How does this break down province-by-province? and (2) How commited are the Green voters, and will they revert to major parties when it comes time to vote?
Will the Listeriosis comments have any weight on the election? Probably not in that it will have blown over by the time of the vote, and Ritz's riding is about as safe as it gets, but it does put Harper on the defensive a little for the time being.
