According to the Strategic Counsel polling in Quebec the Conservatives are slowly loosing support due to their controversial cuts to the arts.
Pollster Peter Donolo of the Strategic Counsel said the Conservative support is slowly eroding in Quebec because of controversial cuts to cultural programs.
“[Mr. Harper has] got to get some of that mojo back in Quebec,” Mr. Donolo said.
The Conservative war room, the Prime Minister, his ministers, MPs, and candidates will have to redouble their efforts to get the truth out. It would really suck to lose a majority over 45 million dollars.
The truth is the Conservatives increased funding to the arts and culture by 8% since taking power. That is greater then the rate of inflation.
The Bloc, NDP, and the Liberals are really pounding on the Conservatives over this issue, and they can easily tie it into the so called "hidden agenda".
The party must go on the offensive on this issue, the party will need to prove to Canadians that this cut will not affect our entertainment and arts industry, and prove how they have improved it.
The party will also need to attack the Liberals for their past record of funding cuts to the arts and culture communities in the 90s. Attack the Liberal's credibility on this issue. How can the Liberals claim prudent fiscal management for the CBC and other cuts in the 90s but the Conservatives can't claim that now?
To be clear, by attack I don't mean partisan mudslinging. The Prime Minister and the party need to be civil, composed, and statesman like in all of this. We are not the party of meanies like the left wants to portray us.
We're better off with Harper.

Unfortunately getting the word out is hard when you have a media that loves to stretch the truth or not talk about the truth at all.
people won't vote based on this issue other than artists that can't fend for themselves. ie: parisites.
HEY,,,Yes you PETER DONOLO...Why not get your buddies to print the truth about the 8% increase in funding...Instead of going along with the BS PETER do your job and report the TRUTH....
Peter Donolo is finally starting to show his true colors, those of a former Liberal Party member, executive and advocate.
George
I think "élan" might be the right word, but Harper is doing fine in Quebec. Dion is sinking like a stone. The Dippers don't have enough people on the ground and people have figured out that the Bloc is there for the nice pensions, a bit like Senate sincecures.
This is a little off topic ...
What would happen if DeYawn lost his seat in Quebec? Or for that matter the leader of the Bloc?
Who is running against DeYawn the LIEberal leader?
Just wondering?
Peter Donolo is Chretien's former Communications Director. His narrative constantly bashes the Conservatives. He cant be trusted to be objective.
