The results of a CFRA poll<\/a> indicate that the Liberals should be thinking twice about taking down the government this spring.<\/p>\n

There is renewed speculation about a spring federal election. Please rate the performance of the Harper minority government.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This may not be a scientific poll as it was conducted online, but when 91.7% of the 1800 or so respondents believe the government is doing Adequate<\/strong> or better and a whopping 78% feel they are doing Very Good<\/strong> or Excellent<\/strong>, then the opposition parties need to pay attention.<\/p>\n

If you take out the Other<\/strong> results, the weighted value of the Adequate<\/strong> <\/strong>or better answers go up to 97% and the Very Good<\/strong> or Excellent<\/strong> total is a commanding 82.6%. These are quite dramatic results and make me very proud to be one of those who think the Harper government is doing an Excellent job.<\/p>\n

The environment may be a key issue to the press, but to citizens it is not as important as good government, good leadership and an accountable team that will not squander our tax dollars and this poll shows it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
