StratCo(u)n Keeps Pushing?

Remember when Strategic Counsel polls helped 'push' that Big Mo' towards the WestCoast LINOCons in May 2005 and the CRAPtacular Cons in Jan 2006?

Well looks like they've been at it again; this time helping the MP for Canforcouver Kingsway push his Softwood Capitulation For The Nation in this past spring:

VANCOUVER (CP) - The Conservative minority government appears to have been on firm political ground as it aggressively pushed for a softwood lumber agreement with the United States, a poll obtained by The Canadian Press indicates.

The public opinion survey suggests that even before the deal was finalized, enough Canadians were prepared to support it that the Tories felt confident to push ahead over widespread objections from the lumber sector and provincial governments.

The poll, done May 18-20, was produced for the Department of International Trade by the firm Strategic Counsel three weeks after Ottawa and Washington initialled a framework for negotiations that led to a final text on July 1.


Push, Baby Push......

And don't stop now.

Because The 'New' Government of Canada has got a whole lotta policy to shove into those new-fangled frames.

And just who might have been 'exposed' to said poll you might be wondering? Well, that's a good question, especially when you consider the fact that the CP could only get its hands on it after an 'Access To Information' request. Funny how CanWest no longer uses CP, t'aint it?
