I, too, was surprised at how much the polling people missed the mark.  A
guy on the radio this morning suggested that polls are of decreasing value.
Many people simply refuse to do a poll.  Those who actually do respond may
simply be giving tactical answers designed to mislead.

BTW, in terms of political spectrum, the Bloc are between the NDP and the Liberals.

A final comment:  our MP is Carolyn Parrish.   She probably doesn't many
Christmas cards from Americans.
