Has this been reported? New Environics riding polls of Guelph (10% NDP lead) and Kingston and the Islands (tied). Maybe Ontario is getting onboard after all.
A recent Environics Research Group poll indicates that the Liberal Party could lose two of its safest federal Ontario seats to the NDP should an election be held now - a stunning result that comes just as an election may be launched as early as this weekend.

NDP pass Liberals in fundraising race, bringing in record $4.5M, and top everyone in number of donors
http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/federal-elect...
The just released EKOS poll showing the NDP in first place (BC, Saskatchewan and Quebec) and in second place elsewhere by at most by at most 4% (Manitoba 2%, Ontario 3%, Atlantic 4%), with the exception of Alberta where they trail by only 12% (only considering their historical %s), places the NDP in great position.
With the economy now in its fifth month of downturn as evidenced by just released May data, the economy will definitely be in recession when the June data is released at the end of the August right in the middle of the election.
Furthermore, the 12% gap in Alberta may well be why the Cons are now announcing more than $ 2 billion in spending in Calgary.
David Akin notes that the Cons have made more than 100 spending announcmentsfor a total of more than $1 billion in one day on Thursday of this week. Akin calls it porkapalooza. No wonder the Cons are throwing money away like there is no tomorrow. There may well be for them, when you take the economy into account.

Here's more evidence of all the parties ramping up, including the Cons announcing more than $2 billion in spending in Calgary, while Kenney denies they are engaged in pork-barrelling.

But this week, Conservative MPs have really amped up their game — one of the hints that we could be into a general election as soon as Sunday.
And on Thursday, Conservatives should give themselves a pat on the back for hitting the magic $1 billion — that’s billion with a ‘b’ folks — handed out in just one day. I counted 108 separate cheque handouts and I’m sure I missed a few. Those 108 cheque handouts totalled $1.188 billion. Of all those cheques, 84 worth a combined $839 million will be spent in ridings currently held by Conservatives. Just three cheques worth of a combined $53.8 million will be spent in ridings held by New Democrats. Just four worth $68.6-million will be spent in Liberal-held ridings. Health Minister Rona Ambrose even dropped into independent MP Brent Rathgeber’s riding next door to hers in suburban Alberta to hand out three cheques worth $385,000. The rest of the cheques and cash will be spent on national or regional programs.

CBC poll tracker today says Trudeau liberals moving down Harper cons moving up
Trudeau Liberals are experiencing a major polling trainwreck just as we approach the dropping of the writs
Trudeau Liberals today sit at 23%, only 4% above their worst showing ever in 2011 when the Liberals only won 34 seats
Trudeau Liberals today are a whopping 11% behind the front-running NDP
Trudeau Liberals today have dropped a massive 27% against the NDP since Jul '14
Great now we will have a repeat of 2011 when the Libs & NDP split the vote and allowed the Cons to come up the middle.
Not likely tt
NDP needs to continue doing what is doing by focusing on defeating the Harper cons and forming a majority government
CBC is part of the liberal media complex and going by past track record you can probably give the Trudeau Libs less support and give the Mulcair NDP more support

Like the Mainstreet poll a week or so ago, hard to believe. Therefore, I don't.
And the problem probably lies here: "The Forum Research poll was conducted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday using an interactive voice-response telephone survey." A 6 hour poll?

Forum polls are always done over one day/night so this is nothing unusual...it must just kill the Liberal Star to have to report that...seeing headlines of a big NDP lead splashed on the headlines will just speed up the stampede of Liberal strategic voters over to the NDP

The NDP start in a strong position. Their vote is growing in seats where it makes a difference. They are the most effective at rallying their base and they are pulling significant numbers of defectors from other opposition parties. If this trend continues, the NDP federally could mirror the success of their Alberta cousins in uniting the centre left vote. The risk for the NDP is that so many of their voters identify with other parties. They need to keep those voters from slipping back over the campaign.
The Liberals are struggling. Their vote is growing in areas where it is unlikely to turn into seats while they are stable in competitive areas. The Liberals are the least effectively at rallying core supporters and at attracting unaligned voters. The Liberals need to shake things up to avoid another third place finish.
The Conservatives have a narrow path to victory. Their core is safe for now, but they are losing support in battleground seats and they have a very small pool of potential supporters. That said, they have the potential to gain support among conflicted voters if they can raise unease over the alternatives. Increasingly, that means the NDP rather than the Liberals.
That Forum poll out today showing the NDP at 39%, and 10 seats shy of a majority government, explains the reason why Harper arranged for a 78 day election campaign.
As Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight has said, do not necessarily discount a poll that is different than the rest. It may be an outlier or it may be that a change has been detected, or a continuation of a change that has been detected.

Norman Spector retweeted Scott Tribe
Based on Nanos *regional* numbers today, hard to see where #LPC wins enough seats to climb out of #3
Norman Spector added,
Scott Tribe @stribe39.@nspector4 The point is: LPC within Nanos MOE they can easily be in 1st or jump to first, and their trendline is going up, not down.
It could be that voters did not like Harper's statement that election spending by the parties will not cost taxpayers money when it was pointed out right afterwards that it will along with the fact that this is going to be the most expensive election in Canadian history when the country is in a recession. it could mean that many voters did tune in to watch and what they heard turned them off.
nicky,
Who are the principals behind Innovative Research? Is is Greg Lyle? He's a Conservative isn't he?
Anyway here is Innovative polling results for the 2011 election
Date / Pollster / NDP / Cons / Libs / BQ / Gns
May 2 '11 / GE / 31% / 40% / 19% / 6% / 4%
Apr 25 '11 / IR / 25% / 38% / 24% / 6% / 5%
More manipulative, than accurate pollster, as excluding the BQ and the Gns, Innovative Research was off by 13% in 2011 with only a week left in the camapign, not a good forecast.
The most accurate pollsters over the past 2 federal elections have been Angus Reid and Ipsos Reid.
Warning: Conservative media complex 
Handicapping election: Conservatives have narrow path to victory, but losing support in battleground seats
They have a very small pool of potential supporters.
That said, they have the potential to gain support among conflicted voters if they can raise unease over the alternatives.

Latest Polling - Aug 3 '15
Bear in mind that we have no way of ascertaining for sure what polling results actually are, and sometimes it just might be too tempting to resist tweaking the polls. As we all well know, unfortunately there are a lot of dirty tricks in politics. Now here is one hypothetical scenario: Say you were a Conservatve supporting pollster, who wanted the Conservatives to win. What would be your strategy with your polls? Maybe it would be, rather than showing the NDP with a commanding lead over the 3rd place party, it could be helpful to show both the NDP and the 3rd place party closer together than they actually are, to encourage splitting the vote against the Conservatives. Just sayin'
Anyway as we get closer to the actual election date, herding is the one thing to watch out for in the polls.

Wow.
In the formerly Liberal fortress of Atlantic Canada, the NDP has nearly half the support (45 per cent), while the Liberals are in a solid second (38 per cent).
The polls are so volatile. Im not ready to say we have that great a lead yet. Oh and fuck the media for not saying why Mulcair didnt take questions on Sunday because he had to attend Flora MacDonald's funeral. Jesus the cunts.
Trudeau Liberals are experiencing a major polling trainwreck just as we approach the dropping of the writs

Great now we will have a repeat of 2011 when the Libs & NDP split the vote and allowed the Cons to come up the middle.
Well the polls are suggesting something quite different:
Liberals plus 5 from 2011.
Conservatives minus 5 from 2011.
NDP about the same or plus 1-2.
To get the same as the last election you have to presume that the Liberals if they go down another 5 points will give that all to the Conservaitves. This does not make sense-- I suspect they already went.
I suspect that if the Liberals keeep going down the NDP will get a larger share of that than the Conservatives. This means the present situation is nothing like 2011.
The one similarity is the importance of the youth vote. Encourage those under 35 to get out and vote. They , in large part, will decide if Harper gets a government.
Would love to see an ad that says not voting is voting by handing proxy to the others who are voting (of course in more accessible language).
The polls are so volatile. Im not ready to say we have that great a lead yet. Oh and fuck the media for not saying why Mulcair didnt take questions on Sunday because he had to attend Flora MacDonald's funeral. Jesus the cunts.
The debate on twitter is that he had three hours and this was enough time.
Now we don't know why he did not -- maybe he was not feeling well, maybe he had somethign private to do, maybe he just needed to go home and get ready.
I did not see how it was handled. Ideally if he said I am sorry I can't take questions today but will at x time that would be fine -- if he let someone else just say no questions if could have been handled better. These things add up.
This is only the first week and at the moment does not matter but the relationship with the media is critical and you do have to explain or apologize etc. in cases like this. At this moment it is not a pattern so no need to worry.
Wow.

Maybe they are not too happy with Mulcair for pulling out of the debates. They could have still had them without Harper. They can't without two leaders. I expect Trudeau will go up in their estimation for not backing out.
The campaign is so long I'm sure Mulcair will be giving plenty of interviews so this isn't even a tiny bit negative unless he makes a habit of it like Harper.

Not too happy? So they are blackmailing him by creating bs negative media stories of him days on end about 'not answering questions' when in fact he's known to exhaust reporters at scrums for years? The media is supposed to be a professional and ethical organisation but my personal experience and the countless examples of useless nitpicking and the way you describe them makes them look more like just another entitled mafia.
Pulling out of debates that dont include Harper is not falling into one of Harper's traps. The worst thing the opposition can do is repeatedly engage in nationally televised debates amongst themselves casting mud onto each other in prime time. If the idiots in the liberal and green camp cant understand this they are doomed to fail more than just at the polls.
The media should do its work dealing with real pressing issues. Not this petty ego bs. The media isnt owed anything. The media owes canadians professional and impartial reporting on the issues that matter.

I was being somewhat sarcastic but I find your reasoning on backing out of the debates interesting. In my opinion there can't be too many debates. If leaders decide to spend that time slinging mud at each other so be it. If they are threatened by it, believe that tactically it could hurt them rather than benefit them, that tells me something.
As far as I know the consortium debates have not been formally cancelled.
More debates are good. But I agree with Pierre: Harper's trap would be getting the opposition parties into a debate without him, slamming each other while he looks good just by abstention.
I want to see Harper lose. He has to go. And let's hope we can have normal elections, normal debates at a proper time in the election such as two weeks before the actual vote, and no more electoral fraud in the future. Sorry, I just had to vent.
Of course more debates are good... most will miss the summer ones anyway. But Harper needs to be there. Debates without Harper make no sense and will damage all of the opposition.
