Latest Nano's Numbers: Dion's not a leader

By now everyone has seen the latest Nano's numbers. Instead of talking about the voter's intentions I decided to talk about the leadership numbers, and more specifically, Dion's dismal leadership numbers.

  • Stephen Harper 110 (+18)
  • Jack Layton 54 (+4)
  • Stephane Dion 35 (-18)
  • Elizabeth May 17 (+6)
  • Gilles Duceppe 16 (-1)
Here we see that Stephen Harper is considered by many to be
  • The most trustworthy leader
  • The most competent leader
  • The leader with the best vision for Canada’s future

You can define leadership as the art of influencing human behaviour, as we can see by the voting intention poll results, Dion fails this miserably. The leadership numbers for Dion show that the electorate consider Dion to be a weak leader.

So the question remains, why are the Liberal's still sitting at 26%? The answer to that is simple, FUD. The good old fear, uncertianity, and doubt being cast about by the Liberals and other left wing parties to sow the seed of fear against voting for Stephen Harper.

We say that just today! The whole abortion debacle that played out on the airwaves today. The sole point of this was to remind voters that Harper "is scary". Tie in the disgusting remarks by Liberal MP Yasmin Ratansi. In August, Stephane Dion joined the fun as well.

Plain and simple, the Conservatives Government will
not introduce a bill, nor support a private members bill on abortion.


I say again:

Plain and simple, the Conservatives Government will not introduce a bill, nor support a private members bill on abortion.

Stephane Dion likes to talk about getting back to policy, yet who is leading the smear charge now? Stephane Dion and the charge of the smear brigade.

We're better off with Harper.

Dion's leadership numbers might improve if he showed leadership and stopped hiding behind Rae and Iggy.

Nah, that wouldn't work either.

Here I am again. Saying the same thing. Have a look at this and tell me what you think. "Liberal Leader Stephane Dion said he’s “extremely concerned” about the impact plummeting markets would have on the domestic economy and the savings of ordinary Canadians". Really. How concerned is he about his Carbon Tax on Canada. The man is insane!

Global National, which is so pro-Liberal it is pathetic, had on Dion's wife and dog this evening. This promo was to dovetail with Dion's earlier statement that "Canadians want to get to know me."

So there was Dion's long-suffering wife telling us if only we knew him the way she knows him. Not the way Harper portrays him...

I wanted to throw a brick through the screen.

''He (Dion) said the volatility underscores why it’s critical to keep a rainy day fund to prepare for dramatic downturns, pointing to the past Liberal practice of stashing a $3-billion contingency fund.''

The $4B windfall from the spectrum sale in June is available for debt reduction (08-09) or Flaherty may opt to hold it as a contingency fund, if needed.
