Polls say Canada hasn't moved right.
"Canadians are, on balance, small-l liberals," says Gregg.

Respondents, asked to self-identify their position on the ideological spectrum, hewed dominantly centre left.

Only 17 per cent of respondents identified themselves with the most extreme left-and right-wing options on the questionnaire - which Harris-Decima benignly offered up as "fairly left" or "fairly right" of centre.

Of these relative ideologues, 11 per cent said they were fairly left and just six per cent said they were fairly right.

3. It stands to reason....people who vote Liberal and those voting NDP are left leaning
in every election, and that leaves only a little more than a third who are right leaning.

4. Cons are under the impression that Canadians
have moved over to 'their' way of thinking, and they are planning on a majority in the next election.
