Doesn't look like the Liberals will be trying to topple the Conservatives any time soon if these are anywhere near accurate.

Those numbers are surprising, I thought that they were a lot closer to a little in the liberal favor especially in Ontario and Quebec. Ignatieff has done a great job of fund raising, but I think he's failed in getting his message out, and he's stuck himself with the EI reform stuff which hasn't generated the momentum that he thought it would.
He's making the same mistake that rookie leaders seem to make, he's not creating a platform, he's trying to tear down what the party in power is doing.
Plus the whole "coming out of the recession" ahead of schedule news is certainly helped the cons.
