Wow. If this is true and actually holds its going to be an enormous shift. The CPC should be really concerned...one poll you can dismiss, two polls maybe they're both outliers. The polls all seem to be going in this direction though? I don't know about the 108 seats mentioned partway through, but there are some common themes:
-The BQ and Liberals are about to be destroyed. That is simply amazing and I don't think that anyone would've predicted thata month ago? Definitely no one would've predicted that they would be destroyed by the NDP!
- The CPC could lose as many as 10 seats. Even a week and a half ago I don't think anyone saw that coming?
Unnecessary election indeed. Maybe Jack knew what he was doing afterall....hard to argue with the results if this continues.

I've been talking about this over with my colleagues at work. I wonder if given a choice between being the junior partner in an NDP/Bloc coalition and the junior partner with the Conservatives, the Libs might just swallow 20 years of rhetoric and posturing.
Both parties are really substantially centre-right, and would actually have common ground on virtually everything. The vast breadth of the Liberal base that remains would never, ever go over to the NDP.
I don't want to jump the gun here, but we might be seeing a very substantial realignment of Canadian democracy here.
