Brand Awareness is very important. How is the Liberal brand performing in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec?

Will the scandals, resignations, call for investigations reach the Federal Liberals?
If we have an election in the next few months will the Liberal brand survive?

• If reduced to Toronto (Ontario -10 seats), (English as mother tongue ridings) on Montreal Island
• Safe seats continue to see large margins shrink by 5%.
• MP's in safe seats uninvited the Liberal leader during campaign or complain.
• Voters that can be classified as rural, suburban, cities smaller than one million continue to not show up.
• Voters that can be classified as visible minorities continue to not show up or mark ballot for other party.
• Female vote stay home or shift to other parties.

An Angus Reid-La Presse poll shows that 60 per cent of respondents, including two thirds of francophones, believe former justice minister Marc Bellemare, who accused Jean Charest of turning a blind eye to what he called "influence peddling" in the appointment of judges by some Liberal fundraisers. A Léger Marketing-Journal de Montréal poll put it at 64 per cent.

Will the loss of trust of the current leadership in the provinces, increased taxes, user fees imposed by the provincial Liberal governments affect the federal campaign, brand awareness, and get out the vote for Federal Liberal Party of Canada?

Compare this with the Global relationship our Prime Minister, in Ontario between the Prime Minister, Premier Dalton McGuinty, Mayor of Toronto.

There are too many stories to link regarding the work by the Federal Government in working cooperatively on projects for Ontario.

Many of us believe the Liberals, NDP, Bloc in Ottawa are unable to focus on the big issues for many reasons. The gap in leadership, trust is too large for the opposition and have shifted to a negative, destructive strategy of personal and character assassination to protect their vulnerable seats.

This week in Parliament in Question Period from the opposition.

• Protect Canada Post from increased competition.
• Afghanistan Committee: Reduced to allegations against Military, Government on handling Prisoners, paperwork.
