MANITOBAS Liberals have gained the most in provincial politicalparty support, says a new Probe Research poll conducted for the Winnipeg Free Press and CTV Winnipeg.
And it could have less to do with what voters think of Manitoba Liberal Leader Rana Bokhari than they do of Justin Trudeau, the popular leader of the federal Liberals.
The provincial Liberals gained four points from Probes last sounding of provincial support, while both the Progressive Conservatives and NDP dropped slightly, Probe Research president Scott MacKay said. "It seems that any kind of momentum either for the Tories going up and the NDP dropping doesnt seem to be at play anymore. It seems things have levelled off now. The only dynamism or volatility is with the Liberals."
The PCs under Leader Brian Pallister continue to enjoy a comfortable lead over the governing NDP with the support of 42 per cent of decided voters, down three per cent from 45 per cent in June.
The NDP is also down slightly to 30 per cent of support from decided voters from 32 per cent four months ago. The decline in support for the two parties is within the polls margin of error.
MacKay said it appears the Liberals have taken advantage of that decline despite Bokharis low profile since becoming leader one year ago.
"Its not that the Liberals have done anything at all," he said. "Its just when a disgruntled New Democrat is looking for a home, theres too much ideological difference between them and the Tories. They have to find somewhere to go, and they have to say something to a pollster on the telephone. They cant bring themselves to be a Tory just yet."

Liberals only gainers in latest poll numbers

The governing Quebec Liberals voted today in favour of an opposition CAQ motion that could prevent a sitting MNA from owning majority shares in a media outlet.
The motion was passed Thursday morning in the National Assembly by 84 votes to 22 votes against. The three Quebec Solidaire MNAs voted in favour of the motion, but Parti Quebecois MNAs - including Jean-Francois Lisee - voted against.
Interim PQ leader Stephane Bedard said that his party would oppose all changes to the code of ethics inspired by the current debate involving media baron and likely leadership hopeful Pierre Karl Peladeau.
Prior to the vote Premier Philippe Couillard suggested that the Liberals were supporting the bill as a means to eventually creating a parliamentary commission to study ethics rules.
Well support this motion to show that we are concerned about this issue," he told a scrum of reporters in Quebec City Thursday morning.
Its not through the National Assembly or a bill that this will be settled but rather through a higher discussion on the issue, said Couillard. The solution lies with the recommendations of a parliamentary committee to discuss the issue, he said.
An ethics bill, changing rules in the National Assembly, is a complicated affair. Usually wed like to do this through unanimity, a consensus but with the debate we have seen it doesnt seem likely.
PKP slams bill
The proposed legislation seems targeted at likely Parti Quebecois leadership candidate and media baron Pierre Karl Peladeau, who has condemned the initiative.

Liberals to support CAQ motion seen as targeting Peladeau
I HAVE a slightly different take on Californias recent decision to regulate college sex. Dont get me wrong: I think its beyond idiotic, unworkable, even borderline Orwellian. Well get to all that.
But I also think its incredibly useful. You see, for years Ive been railing and ranting about the ridiculous myth that liberalism is socially libertarian; that liberals are live and let live types simply defending themselves against judgmental conservatives, the real aggressors in the culture war.
That thinking runs counter to most everything liberals justifiably take pride in as liberals. You cant be agents for change, forces for progress, or whatever the current phrase, and simultaneously deny that youre the aggressors in the culture war. For instance, just in the last decade, liberals have redefined a millenniums-old understanding of marriage while talking as if it were conservatives who wanted to impose their values on the nation.
Most libertarians are surely against racial discrimination, sexism, poor eating habits, homophobia and so on. But their proposed remedies dont look anything like a liberals. Libertarians, for the most part, do not favor racial or gender quotas. Theyre against banning big sodas, campus speech codes or forcing elderly nuns to pay for birth control coverage, among other things.
Liberals, meanwhile, are quite open about their desire to use the state to impose their morality on others. Many conservatives want to do likewise, of course. The difference is that when conservatives try to do it, liberals are quick to charge theocracy! and decry the Orwellian horror.
Enter California Gov. Jerry Brown, whose answer to the alleged rape epidemic on campuses was to sign the new affirmative consent law. It will require a verbal yes at every stage of amorous activity on college campuses.
The incredible overreach of the law has been discussed at great length. Even the Los Angeles Times editorial board expressed misgivings in an editorial before Brown signed the bill into law. It seems extremely difficult and extraordinarily intrusive to micromanage sex so closely as to tell young people what steps they must take in the privacy of their own dorm rooms.
This strikes me as extremely understated, but the sentiment is right. Some defenders of the law say it doesnt really matter because it will only have an effect when women accuse men of sexual assault. The law has no bearing on the vast majority of sexual encounters, feminist writer Amanda Marcotte reassures us. It only applies when a student files a sexual assault complaint.
Never mind that it will also likely change the standard of proof in such situations, making it much easier to charge and administratively convict students of rape based solely on an allegation. Dont worry about false accusations, says Think Progress Tara Culp-Ressler, they amount to only about 2 to 8 percent of cases. Tell that to people who fall into the 2 to 8 percent.
Other defenders insist that such concerns miss the point. Ann Friedman of New York magazine rhapsodizes about the laws positive cultural impact. It will help in deprogramming the idea that nice girls dont admit they like sex, let alone talk about how they like it. She notes that the law will force universities to talk to all students, female and male, about how enthusiastic consent is mandatory. And that is great because Confirming consent leads to much hotter sex.
