OTTAWA — A new poll suggests the Harper Conservatives are gaining strength across the country and hold a solid lead over the Liberals.
The Canadian Press/Harris Decima survey suggests the Tories have 37 per cent support, with 27 per cent opting for the Liberals, 14 per cent going NDP and 10 per cent each for the Bloc and the Greens.
The survey suggests the Conservatives are gaining strength in Ontario, including the horseshoe of ridings around Toronto.
In Quebec, the Tories and Liberals are tied, with the Bloc holding a strong plurality.
Pollster Allan Gregg says the numbers put the Tories back where they were in the afterglow of the 2008 election.
The two-week survey spoke to more than 3,000 people Feb. 3-13 as part of an omnibus phone poll and is considered accurate to within 1.8 percentage points, 19 times in 20.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
