The Conservatives raised the bar on ethics and accountability very high, and I think people are waiting to see them deliver on that.

The environment that we're in right now is that we have rising electricity rates, we're going to have rising heating costs.

I think the Liberals are doing everything they can to do turn it around, but the reality is that we're at the point right now where only Stephen Harper can lose this election. Only some major mistake by Harper or someone close to him can derail the Conservative juggernaut.

They have to be careful also that this isn't just another white elephant.

They have to tread very carefully on this issue to make sure they don't alienate female voters.

(The attack ads) are starting to have a little bit of an effect on peoples' impression of Stephen Harper's vision but they haven't transformed into changing the momentum of the campaign.

The numbers that are driving male support have to do costs and the future and being ready for the future while women are probably more likely to be concerned about the potential implications and risks of nuclear energy.

As a result, I think it's fair to say that there's an appetite for the Province of Ontario to seriously explore more nuclear power.

The wreckage with regards to the Liberal brand is still out there and something like this taps into that nerve. When you have the RCMP saying the situation merits an investigation, it piques people's interest.

It would require Stephen Harper or someone very close to Stephen Harper to make a monumental blunder to turn those numbers around. This is Stephen Harper's election to lose.
