In our modern world, polls have replaced entrails readings and “Canadians now tell pollsters that they prefer majority government” is a harbinger of the change in the dynamics manifesting our current political constellation (away from the 4 ‘blocks’ as Simpson calls them).

Underlying this shift is the question that, presumably, a lot of Canadians (2/3rds anyway) are asking themselves: “Isn’t time we stopped the damage being done by Harper and the Con’s to Canada and our way of life”.

Any political analysis of when there will likely be an election and what will be at play must, in my opinion, take this into account.
