This morning a rather positive EKOS poll was released and it included an even more positive seat projection.  Now before the haters start (and let's face it haters gotta hate) up on how this is only one poll and that seat projections don't mean anything, blah, blah, Elizabeth May is powered by kitten tears, blah.  Yes I realize that and you know what?  I don't even think this polls is great news but rather news of great opportunity.
