Election 2005

Having lived in this country for almost 40 years and having not even once been invited by Decima, Ipsos, Environics or the CBC to participate in any kind of poll whatsoever, I am naturally suspicious of the recent polls which gleefully maintain that the Liberals have a resounding lead over the Conservative Party of Canada.

I'd love to be able to convey my thoughts, feelings and assorted anecdotes to a poll taker, but I've never met one.

I consider myself to be a slightly above-average kinda guy with simple pleasures, and a deep distrust for Liberals given their historic record. Can it be that as much as I consider the poll-taker to be the rarest of the human species, that it could possibly be me and others like me that are the rarities?
