From NDP Communications:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REALITY CHECK: Join Ignatieff's Book Club on Torture

Yesterday in scrums, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff attempted to dismiss charges of hypocrisy against him, by challenging reporters to examine his well known statements about the appropriate use of torture:

"I did twenty minutes [sic] of journalism on protecting human rights, I have no explanations to make here, I have always been against torture. If you would take the trouble to read what I have said, you will see that it's a terrible accusation." - Michael Ignatieff, CTV News Channel, 23 November 2009

Okay. Let's take him up on that:

Harper Should Buy Iggy A Drink......

New poll puts Tories at 41 per cent, Liberals at 28

By: CTV.ca News Staff

Date: Mon. Oct. 5 2009 10:00 PM ET

Election fever may have cooled for now, but a new poll suggests the Conservatives would fare quite well if Canadians headed to the ballot box today.

A new Strategic Counsel survey, conducted Oct. 2-4 for CTV and the Globe and Mail, found that Tory support has surged to 41 per cent nationally, up six percentage points from September.

The Conservatives now have a 13 percentage point lead over the Liberals, who have now seen their national support diminish to just 28 per cent.

The Tories have been widening their lead over the Liberals ever since early July, when they were in a virtual tie at 34 per cent and 33 per cent respectively.

Here are the national results (the differences from a Sept. 3-6 poll are in brackets):

* Conservatives: 41 per cent (+6)
* Liberals, 28 per cent (-2)
* NDP: 14 per cent (none)
* Green Party: 9 per cent (none)
* Bloc Quebecois: 9 per cent (-3)
