MONTREAL, June 22 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Despite the big money and confident swaggering of prominent fiscal-only conservatives, polls are suggesting the two Alliance leadership candidates who represent a blend of social and fiscal conservatism are tied for first.  A poll of Canadian Alliance supporters by Societe Radio-Canada, the French-language arm of the CBC, found that 37.1 percent of Alliance supporters surveyed favour Day and 36.7 percent said they support Manning. Former Ontario Conservative organizer Tom Long was a distant third, with a little less than 11 percent, and the other social liberal candidate Keith Martin was not even on the map.

The poll results can only look worse now for Mr. Long since the survey was conducted prior to the controversy over signing up of bogus party memberships in Quebec by his campaign.

The united voice of social conservative groups across the country endorsing socially responsible candidates over those intensely opposed to considering social conservative initiatives has paid off. Liberal and PC party organizers are now concerned since a party successfully uniting social and fiscal conservatives has its sights trained on parliament.
