Summary: | "We're probably shifting our general efforts more to areas that we probably didn't think we would win earlier on," [Stephen Harper] said yesterday. The analysis of polls taken during the campaign suggests a continuing Liberal slide, giving Harper's Tories momentum - especially in hotly contested battles in seat-rich Ontario. The latest projection by Wilfrid Laurier University professor Barry Kay for Global National is based on a sample of 6,100 voters. It also shows the Bloc Quebecois is poised to win 55 seats and the NDP 24. Campaigning in Ontario, Harper continued his attempt to turn the tables on Martin's continuing barrage over abortion and gay marriage. He said two Liberal cabinet ministers who have attacked the Tories on human rights - Heritage Minister Helene Scherrer and Immigration Minister Judy Sgro - both voted in favour of a motion last year declaring marriage should be a union of a man and a woman. |
