No comment really necessary

Campbell Clark, The Globe and Mail:

With only the weekend left in the campaign, Mr. Martin has tried to rev up crowds in London, Kitchener and Brampton by telling them that he is in the same position now as he was late in the game in the 2004 campaign. "Today, we're right where we were when we were going into the final weekend of the election the last time," he said to a crowd of supporters packed into a small room in London, Ont.. "And we pulled that one out." But on the last weekend in 2004, polls showed his Liberals just ahead of the Tories, while a new poll conducted by The Strategic Counsel and published today in The Globe and Mail found the Liberals 10 points behind Mr. Harper's Conservatives... Mr. Martin spent much of today touring Southern Ontario, hitting stops in London, Kitchener, and Brampton, before he flies to Manitoba this evening for events in Winnipeg and St. Boniface... But he has not been in Quebec since last weekend — and after changing his schedule to skip a planned stop in Gatineau, he denied he has given up on Quebec. "I've spent a lot of time in Quebec. And in a national campaign, clearly you divide the time," he told reporters in Brampton, Ont... Later, when asked by a reporter what "far right" policies he could name in the Conservative platform, he cited their refusal to support the Liberals subsidized daycare program, begun in 2005. He also said the fact that Mr. Harper will not commit to living up to a November agreement on quality of life for aboriginals, and that Mr. Harper does not accept the science of climate change. However, Mr. Harper said in December that in fact he does accept the science of climate change.... Mr. Martin teed off on a question from a local Punjabi radio host, Amarjeet Sidhu, who joined a press conference after cheering the Liberal Leader in a rally in Brampton, Ont. He asked what Mr. Martin thinks of the fact that Mr. Harper has never traveled abroad. "Stephen Harper hasn't left the country? I was just told that apparently he said he'd been to Mexico but he'd never left continental North America," he said, apparently forgetting that Mr. Harper had traveled with him on the prime ministerial jet to veterans' ceremonies in Italy, Holland, and Ireland. "Well, I find that unbelievable. It is such an opening that I don't know how to take advantage of it..." However, Mr. Harper has traveled to Italy, Holland, Great Britain, Ireland, Greece, the U.S., and Mexico.
