Polls Mean Nothing

Remember polls in Canada mean nothing. Popular vote in not relevant for determining how a party is polling. Canada operates on first past the post system were only the seats or riding won matter not necessarily the percentage of voters who supported a given party.

Harper's lead in the poll means very little when he can't hope of winning some of the key urban riding's in Ontario. As it is always the case a majority government will be won or lost in the Province of Ontario. Harper will not win any Toronto riding's which will offset his lead in the opinion polls. Sure he's polling way up in the rural Ontario riding's but that means little since we do not operate our Federal elections on an American model.

Remember Canada is a Federal Constitutional Democratic Monarchy or something like that and is vastly different from a Federalist Republic.
