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". (An aside: Would Dion be choosing to have an election if he fished or if 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? But I digress ...)

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.

In Ontario and Quebec, the Liberals still lead the Conservatives. It's close in Ontario, not so much in Quebec.
