Campaign Week One: PC and NDP Collapse on the Horizon, and Hints of Weakness in the Liberal Fortress
Conducted for the National Post and Southam News as well as Global Television, Edmonton Journal, and Calgary Herald
PCs and NDP Risk Oblivion, Huge Majority for the Liberals Remains a Possibility, But Liberals Shows Early Signs of Some Fading
