Former Saint John MP Paul Zed is calling the recent dip in the polls for the federal Liberals a summer lull. The Harper Conservatives are showing an 11 point lead against the Liberals which have dropped in the public opinion polls by 7 points. Zed tells CHSJ news it’s nothing to lose sleep over–however.
Zed says there is no appetite for a fall election, but adds people are very worried about high unemployment numbers and the current deficit. As for whether he will run for re-election, Zed says it’s still to early too say–but–he is enjoying life away from politics to do more charity work.
