The Changing Canadian Political Landscape.

New polls released this week suggest a stunning change to the Canadian Political landscape.

Most politicians disregard polling numbers, the majority of them saying that the only poll that matters is election day. However, new poll numbers released by two different independent data agencies suggest massive changes in Ontario politics, the Conservative party and the NDP.

The poll suggests that former Nova Scotia MP and Attorney General Peter McKay with an overwhelming lead against a surprise runner up, Canadian TV personality star Kevin O’Leary.

Among all Conservative voters, McKay polled at 33% while O’Leary has 18 %. Rounding up the top three is current Finance Critic Lisa Raitt. However, when the poll factored those who identified to the right of the political spectrum, the gap between McKay and O’Leary becomes much closer with just 4% separating the top two contenders.
