Tours, ads and memos could be an indication of an imminent federal election.
The NDP is preparing to spend a record amount of money on their planned campaign.
The Conservatives have launched a series of new ads targeting the Opposition and heightening election speculation. Opposition leaders Jack Layton and Michael Ignatieff are on the road with speeches and appearances.
Since the aborted Liberal, NDP, Bloc coalition attempt in 2008, Stephen Harper has rightly warned the country that the Opposition has not abandoned their ambition to form government and that the only way to avoid this disastrous possibility is to give him and the Conservatives a majority government.
The prospect of NDP and Liberals joining forces with a party whose sole aim continues to be to break up the country is as unthinkable in 2011 as it was in 2008.
I sincerely doubt the glue to hold such an amalgamation together between parties so diametrically opposed on so many issues is any better now than three years ago.
Harper and the Conservatives have given us five years of stable, effective and scandal-free government and I do not believe this has gone unnoticed by the majority of Canadians. I do not believe they are prepared to risk the country’s stability in uncertain economic times for a misguided pipe dream of politicians whose only ambition is power.
