First Post-Campaign Poll Shows Liberals Needn't Fear New Election

The first Ontario poll released since the October 6th election shows Dalton McGuinty's Liberals have little to fear should their minority government fall and a new election be called. Rather, it is the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP that risk losing political power, according to a new Innovative Research Group poll obtained by ontarionewswatch.com.

Pesticide ban a win-win situation

But what about B.C.? Polling done in the province by Innovative Research Group and released in February, 2011 found support for a phase-out of “cosmetic” or non-essential pesticides was over 70 per cent. The research also found 72 per cent of British Columbians believe these pesticides pose a threat to the environment and nearly 70 per cent believe they threaten children. Perhaps most significantly, the study found support for the phase-out does not differ between rural and urban areas. The message for government couldn’t be clearer: No matter where they live in the province, the vast majority of British Columbians want an end to toxic lawn products.
