Leader Meter
From CBC poll analyst Éric Grenier, the Leader Meter tracks each major federal party leader's approval ratings as recorded in national polls. The Leader Meter also tracks each leader’s highs and lows in the polls over time, along with the historical performances of past prime ministers.

Re: Leader Meter
The jury is still out. Part of that is that it is still too early to properly judge the effectiveness of policy changes.
Hopefully though, JT can avoid the trap of constantly seeking approval. What it does show, so far, is that he is a pretty decent salesman.
So far, the needle hasn't been moved much in some key economic measurements by the Liberals. http://www.tradingeconomics.com/canada/balance-of-tradehttp://www.tradingeconomics.com/canada/current-account Those will matter a lot in a few years. In the end, a lot of folks will judge a government by "am I better off than I was 4 years ago".

The middle path - everything in moderation, and everything in its time and order.

Just wait awhile. The Conservatives will wake up and realize that their best choice is Rona. She'll get a new hairstyle and some minor cosmetic surgery and she'll surge to the front.

She just has to learn the art of the selfie. Apparently that's all you really need to be the PM of this country.

Maybe the sun will stop rising in the east, too. My money's on the sun changing its path over Justin's constant, vain need to be the centre of attention.
