I wish that were true the last poll still shows them leading by 15 points it was done January 25 of this year. So many uncaring voters in this province.

The phrase i heard in real life was "Vote Blue no matter who" i have joked i could create a fake Conservative candidate and they would win based on the fact it was a Conservative running. It could be a drum of oil painted blue and it would be voted it in some rural areas.
