Taking yes for an answer

A bunch of nice national headlines from the last few days.

"The Bob Rae bounce: Liberals continue to gain steam."

"Tories Lead, Liberals Gain But Remain in Third Place in Canada."

"Liberals’ momentum gets boost from lacking NDP leadership."

"Federal Vote Intention Tightens."

"New poll shows NDP support plummeting in Quebec."

Things are heading in the right direction. Good news.
