A new Angus Reid poll out today shows that the Stephen Harper Tory government continues to slump in popularity, and much of the blame lands squarely on their continued bumbling over the issue of globalย warming.
The Tory government is limping along with a paltry 33 per cent of Canadians supporting their party compared with 36.3 per cent on election day and the party’s high of 39 per cent in March of thisย year.
The environment remains the highest-ranked issue forย voters.
Thirty-one per cent of those surveyed said their opinion of Harper hasย worsened.
According to Angus Reid, โthe environment remains the most important issue in this country โฆ and this is an issue the Harperites haven’t understood. Moving (Environment Minister) John Baird into that position I don’t think has helpedย them.โ
This government clearly doesn’t getย it.
The Canadian public is seeing through their half-measures and token environmental policies and the only way Harper can turn this ship around is to drop the PR spin and start showing real concern and realย action.
Harper could also start worrying less about his backers in the Alberta oil-patch and start listening to the rest ofย Canada.
