To be fair to Iggy and Harpo, the three of them have very different jobs. I think it's probably easier to be satisfied with the job the leader of the crazy fringe party is doing than the Prime Minister. What does JL do all day, anyway?
Also, your link shows Layton's approval at 40% and Harper's at 33%. I get that 40 is a fifth higher than 33, but it's pretty sneaky to say Layton's approval rating is 20% higher than Harper's, since approval ratings are given as absolute percentages of the responding base. I'd say it's 7 points higher, which is suddenly not that impressive.
Did anyone else notice Jack Layton (or yet another doppelganger) at the front of Gretzky's when the CTV cameras went there for some footage during the gold medal game?
I think he looks more like
ReplyDeleteVic Toews, our Minister of Public Safety.
He also hosts a show on a&e where he forces drug addicts to go to rehab

Also, 50% of Canadians disapprove of the way Iggy and Harper are handling their jobs - but only %30 disapprove of Layton. Layton's approval rating is also twice that of Iggy's and about 20% higher than Harper's.
ReplyDeleteand more Canadians would have a beer with Layton or let him babysit their children than any other leader.
