Public opinion polls, as we all know, go up and down and in
the last few years have been more volatile than feathers in
the wind, as Giuseppe Verdi put it in the Rigoletto.
Still, the last slump of the Conservatives has created some
turmoil within Prime Minister Stephen Harper's minority
governing caucus and some excitement within Liberal ranks.
Despite that the decision to prorogue Parliament was
initially welcomed by most of the Conservative caucus members,
there is now a lingering disappointment with the decision.
Some are trying to blame the Prime Minister and the PMO.
These feelings, gently, but openly emerged during the GTA
and Quebec Conservatives' caucus meetings held in the last
few weeks.
