Canada update: Tories would win election today

According to Reuters, Canada's Conservative Party holds a large lead in a recent voter poll. This despite the replacement of ineffective Liberal party leader Stephane Dion by Michael Ignatieff.

Nevertheless, this Seattle Times editorial points out that Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper's suspension of Parliament has turned the nation upside down. Canadians might still be willing to vote for the Conservative Party, but they disapprove of the Conservative prime minister's willingness to undermine their constitution.

Meanwhile, Will Di Novi has a useful analysis of the situation at thenation.com.
