Sorry Liberals, the vast majority of voters in the swing ridings of BC and Ontario support Stephen Harper's changes to the youth sentencing provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
... in Ontario, 73 per cent of respondents said they support the proposition; in British Columbia, 67 per cent of those surveyed said they agreed with it.
Moreover, the support outside Quebec is not lukewarm, Mr. Donolo said. In Ontario, for instance, a full 40 per cent said they “strongly” supported the concept.
When campaigning for my local Conservative candidate I heard lots of good things about the proposed changes and nothing bad.
The support for the changes in Quebec are not as strong, only around 40%.
I guess the Liberals will stop hammering the Conservatives on this now as it appears to have no traction, and may actually hurt them. If they change their mind on this issue and stop hammering it, we can chalk it up as another Dion flipflop. If they keep hammering, another strategic mistake. Either way, we win.
We're better off with Harper.
