From Wikipedia; The 2011 Canadian federal election (more formally, the 41st Canadian General Election) will be held on Monday, May 2, 2011 to elect members to the House of Commons of the 41st Canadian Parliament. The writs of election were issued by Governor General David Johnston on March 26, at the request of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whose Conservative government was defeated in the House of Commons on a motion of non-confidence which declared the government to be in contempt of Parliament. This is the first time in the Commonwealth of Nations, that a government has fallen on a contempt motion and it is without precedent in countries governed by a Westminster-style parliament.

A Nanos Research survey of about 1,000 voters put the Conservatives on 37.8%, the Liberals (led by Michael Ignatieff) on 26.7% and the New Democratic Party on 23.7%.

Wisconsin – Anti Union Bill. For or against?

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

A new Politics/Elections poll has been created.

Wisconsin was the first state in the nation to give all public sector workers collective bargaining rights, in 1959. Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill – to strip collective bargaining rights from most public sector unions – has sparked days of demonstrations, and a walkout by State Democrats. Walker’s plan is expected to easily pass the state Assembly, which Republicans control by a wide margin. Their margin in the Senate is narrower, and a few GOP Senators have expressed reservations about it. What do you think?

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

A new Politics/Elections poll has been created.

The tragic shooting in Arizona of Congresswoman Giffords and others attending a community event has unleashed an outpouring of sympathy and calls for respect and reconciliation, from both sides of the political aisle, and from around the world, to an extent not seen since 9/11. Congress has delayed all action for one week, including a controversial vote to repeal the healthcare reform act. Will this tragedy lead to long-lasting civility in politics?
