  8. While I'm now a non-partisan practitioner of government relations, Liberal supporters on the board will be happy with this news... With no party leadership convention I tend to think the "honeymoon" effect is less of a factor...also considering Ignatieff has just started to get out there, things look promising for Liberals in the post-Dion era. I expect the Conservative image assassination advertising machine to begin any moment. Ignatieff vaults Liberals into tie with Tories: poll Updated Fri. Jan. 9 2009 3:12 PM ET The Canadian Press OTTAWA -- A new poll suggests the Liberal party has bounced back into contention now that Michael Ignatieff is at the helm. The Nanos Research survey, provided exclusively to The Canadian Press, suggests the Liberals have moved into a virtual tie with the governing Tories. Liberal support stood at 34 per cent, one point ahead of the Conservatives and up eight points from the Liberals' dismal showing in the Oct. 14 election under the leadership of Stephane Dion. The poll suggests the Liberal resurgence was particularly pronounced in Quebec, where the party vaulted into the lead with 39 per cent support to 29 per cent for the Bloc Quebecois, 17 per cent for the Tories and 14 per cent for the NDP. The telephone poll of 1,003 Canadians was conducted Jan. 3-7 and is considered accurate within 3.1 percentage points 19 times in 20. A voter honeymoon with Ignatieff, who was hastily installed as leader last month, appeared to be the driving force behind the Liberal bounce. Thirty-four per cent of respondents said they had a more favourable impression of the party since the change in leadership. Moreover, 23 per cent said Ignatieff would make the best prime minister -- double the score previously won by Dion, although still 12 points behind Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
  9. Feds fast-tracking 'essential service' tag for transit Designation would force striking drivers, mechanics back to work By KENNETH JACKSON, Sun Media Union members adamant strike to continue Voting day Thursday If striking OC Transpo employees reject the city’s offer they could still end up going back to work if the federal government declares public transit to be an essential service. It’s a decision being fast-tracked by the Canada Industrial Relations Board, according to spokeswoman Sylvie Riverin. “Oh yes. That is for sure,†she said Monday. “That is why we have a public notice. We’re trying to find a more efficient way to deal with matter.†Riverin was referring to advertisements taken out in newspapers Monday advising the public, union and city to submit their written arguments by Friday. The move comes after Labour Minister Rona Ambrose forced the union members to vote on the city’s offer, which is to be held Thursday. She also asked the industrial relations board to look into making OC Transpo an essential service. There’s an online petition supporting the move circulating with close to 700 signatures.
