Canada ruling Conservatives ahead of rivals – poll

October 28, 2009

CANADA-POLITICS/

Canada’s governing Conservatives are well ahead of their main rivals and would most likely win a majority government if an election were help now, according to a poll released on Monday.

The Ipsos-Reid survey for Canwest News Service put the Conservatives at 40 percent in popular support, with the Liberals, the top opposition party, trailing far behind at 25 percent.

The Liberals have been falling steadily since early September, when they vowed to try to bring down the minority Conservative government over its handling of the economy.

“The Liberals, these days, just have no traction at all,” said Ipsos Reid Chief Executive Darrell Bricker. The left-leaning New Democrats were at 13 percent in public support.

In Canada’s electoral system, a party needs around 40 percent of the popular vote win a majority of the 308 seats in the House of Commons.

The poll was taken last week as the Liberals repeatedly attacked the Conservatives on the grounds that they have been using an economic stimulus program for partisan purposes.

The Ipsos Reid survey of 1,003 adults was conducted from Oct 22 to 24 and is considered to be accurate to within 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Picture 25

Google Street View was recently launched for 11 cities in Canada. The Canadian government has been very public about their apprehensions with this new technology. They have expressed their concern for the privacy of citizens and their homes.

Google has blurred all faces and license plates in order to ensure the privacy of any individual who may have been included in a photo. Google has explained the views are all taken from public streets, and do not violate anyone’s privacy. Google has included links for reporting any concerns a person may have. Any concerns that are reported will be reviewed. If they are found to violate a persons privacy, they will be removed.

The Street View technology is available on iPhones. Simply enter in an address, and you will get a clear view of the building or landmark you are looking for. Street View uses images that are patched together from several different angles. The Street View, gives a user a 360 degree view of a particular street address. This application was first launched in the United States in 2007. It is currently available in 10 countries.

A few local residents are a little embarrassed about the pictures that were taken during the garbage workers strike. Several of the local parks were filled with garbage and those are the pictures that appear in the Street View. Mayors of these particular cities are hoping to increase tourism with this latest technology.

The Canadian cities that are included in the Street View thus far are as follows; Halifax, Toronto, Quebec City, Calgary, Montreal, Squamish, Whistler, Waterloo, and Ottawa Kitchener.
