Only 32% back PM on Mideast (Canada)

August 1, 2006

Stephen Harper's decision to support Israel in the current Middle East crisis appears out of step with the majority of Canadians, according to a new poll.

The survey finds that a majority of Canadians want their government to be neutral on the conflict and that Mr. Harper has tilted away from the traditional Canadian position. Moreover, they believe that the Conservative government is taking its cues from U.S. President George W. Bush.

The Globe and Mail/CTV poll also shows that Canadians are paying close attention to the conflict, and that Quebeckers are particularly concerned about the shift.

"What you're struck by is how unpopular the position he has taken is, especially in the province of Quebec," said Allan Gregg, chairman of the Strategic Counsel, the firm that conducted the poll.

1. Harper won't last his term. His party was elected because

Paul Martin was an embarassment!

2. Yes. I "knew" that before the poll got out.

So why did the idiots who voted for the neocon clone vote for them in the first place?

Because they wanted the 1% less GST they promised?

Many corporations just adjusted the retail price of their products in order to keep that 1% for themselves!! Didn't they see that one coming?

Duh!! I did!! :crazy:

Because they wanted that other 'promise' of 100 bucks per child each month?? That's quite a gift!! But... wait 'til they'll get to fill their income tax return of 2007 because they'll be 'changing' income 'bracket' (of course: upwards!)

Now, in less than 4 months, that Bushler wannabe clown has destroyed Canada's worldwide reputation that took more than 40 years to establish!! :grr:

6. Some DUers predicted this coming.

Canada, Mexico...Multinational untouchables have the money and power to influence and manipulate nations. I hoped up North you'd fended this off but regardless the Government structure these crooks hire the best minds to find the weakness and exploit it for their own thievery. Mexico is trying to fend it off but the power brokers will wait out the masses and move on to plan "B". Canada is at plan "B". America is somewhere around plan W.

5. WooHoo! it was 35% when I last heard

I heard some Conservative blasted this morning on CBC for his stance on the Lebanese situation.

This is even worse sucking up to an American president since Mulroney/Reagan.

And we don't like it.
