Lick’s Burger Poll
Ugh, I just hope this informal poll doesn’t reflect how people will actually vote in the Federal election in just over a week’s time. As I remember they have been fairly accurate in the past, and I find the results even more surprising since The Beaches are traditionally left of centre, re-electing the incumbanr
NDP member of parliament in the last provincial election and placing the Liberal MP
Maria Minna in Ottawa during the last Federal election. Many of the The Beachers who work in film (a significant proportion, including my dear wife) haven’t forgotten – or forgiven – the Liberals for
cutting Telefilm funding in the year that SARs hit Toronto. But it’s hard to believe that a Conservative MP would be any more generous to the film industry, so I think (and hope) that people will take the real vote a bit more seriously than a vote with their burgers.
NDPer Peter Tabuns has been campaigning hard in this district, and I’ve run into him about 3 times already in the past couple of weeks, hoping his second outing against Minna will prove lucky. Prior to seeing this poll, I would have said he would be a shoe-in this time around. Will have to see what happens on Election Day.
