A shocking new poll out today<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Canadian Press Harris-Decima<\/span> survey indicates that 30 per cent of respondents nationwide are less likely to vote Liberal in the next election as a result of the party leader’s reflections on taxes last week; only 16 per cent are more likely to support the Grits.<\/p>\n

The damage was most pronounced in Atlantic Canada and British Columbia, where 44 per cent and 40 per cent respectively were less likely to vote Liberal.<\/p>\n

However, the poll suggests Ignatieff’s<\/span> tax talk went down well in Quebec, where 29 per cent of respondents were more likely to vote Liberal and only 10 per cent less likely.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, who would have thought when you asked people if Ignatieff<\/span> raising their taxes would make them more likely to vote for Liberal, they’d say “uhh…duh…no”.Well, except in Quebec where by a 3 to 1 ratio they said it made them more<\/em> likely to vote for Ignatieff<\/span>.<\/p>\n

There’s only one conclusion to be reached from this: it is imperative that the Liberal Party promise to tax Quebecers<\/span> in the next election. I would suggest a 2% sales tax to be applied only<\/em> in La Belle Province.<\/p>\n

Hell, use the money to bail out the oil sands and this could prove to be a vote winner in both<\/em> Quebec and the West…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
