Straight Talk

Trudeau could beat Harper in Ontario

He has something for everyone

Published on February 28, 2013


Trudeau could take Ontario from Harper

With Justin Trudeau as their new leader, the Liberals could go up nine points and move into first place in Ontario ahead of Stephen Harper and his Conservatives.

That's what's shown in a new poll by Forum Research, a survey firm on considerable reputation that works by conventional professional rules.

Currently the Conservatives are in first place in Ontario with 37 percent.

The Liberals under Bob Rae follow with 29 percent.

And NDP Thomas Mulcair are at 24 percent.

But when Trudeau is suggestsed to respondents, everything changes.

Liberals climb nine points to 38 per cent and first place in Ontario.

The Conservatives drop into second spot at 35 percent.

But it's the NDP who takes the worst beating. The NDP falls five points to 19 percent.

So in effect the Conservatives and the NDP have reason to be wary of Trudeau.

They might want to consider promoting the election of one of the other seven Liberal leadership candidates who would do them less harm on voting day.

    YES!!!! If an election was held yesterday, without a campaign, Justin would be PM of Canada. When an election is held in 2015, I'm sure that Mulcair and Harper will have something to say. Perhaps the polls only indicate that Canadians would like to see Justin running as the next Liberal leader. Put it down to 'curiosity'.

    Of course le Dauphin has something for everyone. That's Canadian Liberalism. Under the auspices of the right to rule, Liberals speak out of all corners of their mouths, promising everything to everyone- including empty platitudes about hope change and the return of the middle class. Of course, while Trudeau once believed in real democratic reform such as PR voting, he has flip flopped believing more people will fall for AV. While on camera fighting vociferously for a gun registry that saves lives, he will also go to Conservative ridings and tell them gun registry was a failure. Trudeau claims to be in favour of education but stood with Charest against students and with McGuinty against teachers. Leadership is not simply tricking people with hype or following the votes but offering principled well thought positions that show you understand what's going on and how to improve things. Trudeau could likely guarantee Harper's next victory but he could also implode sending young voters, soccer moms, and urban hipsters over to their rightful progressive home in the NDP and thus finally rid Canada of Harper and his Conservatives.
