I report today on a new Ipsos Reid poll, a poll taken this week as the Conservatives were meeting near Quebec City during which Prime Minister Stephen Harper to "fish or cut bait".... And, as my friend Paul Wells sort of pointed out: If the bait was already in the water, wasn't Dion already fishing?... The poll finds that Canadians are hardly moved by all the back-and-forth about the green shift and Harper's attacks: 34 per cent would vote Conservative; 30 per cent would vote Liberal.

You can read the whole report for yourself and I have summarized the good bits here from the timeline in that report: March 31 — NATO Summit Conference background books, classified as SECRET are hand-delivered to a Bernier assistant.... April 20 — Ian Brodie, then the prime minister’s chief of staff, telephones Bernier to alert him to rumours about Couillard’s past associated with members of Montreal biker gang.... May 25, 2 p.m. — Bernier’s chief of staff Aaron Gairdner takes a call from Couillard’s lawyer, advising him that she has received government documents from Couillard with instructions that they be returned tot he government.
