In fact, the national poll conducted by Ipsos Reid for Canwest News Service and Global National on Tuesday and Wednesday night, and following the televised address by both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Coalition, indicates that the Harper Conservative government has the support of six in ten (60%) Canadians to ‘fight and do everything they can legally do to continue governing because of the severe economic situation the country faces, and the fact that the Liberals and the NDP have entered into an “unholy deal” with the Bloc separatists’. This compares with only four in ten (37%) who believe that ‘it's proper that a smooth transition of power to the Coalition takes place’.

In an online survey of 1,002 voters completed Sunday, the Conservatives had a seven-point lead over the Liberals, 36 per cent to 29 per cent, among committed voters. The New Democrats had the support of 17 per cent, the Bloc Québécois 10 per cent and the Green party 7 per cent.
The margin of error is 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
The Conservatives held a commanding 12 point lead over Michael Ignatieff's Liberals in Ontario.
The poll also showed almost six in 10 – 58 per cent – were against any move by the opposition to topple the Harper government.
What Canadians are witnessing has shaken them pretty much to the core: almost three quarters (72%) of Canadians indicate that they are truly scared for the future of the country with what is going on in Ottawa and the majority (62%) is angry with the Coalition taking over power from the governing Conservatives -- in fact, a majority in every region of the country is angry at the situation, except in Quebec where only 39% expressed this view.

numbers are pretty much the same now as they were then.
So i guess the question is...if the will of the Canadian people is that things remain as they are...who in the hell is Ignatieff, Duceppe or Black Jack to say otherwise?
