Ivison says no panic on Team Harper, but Byrne is likely to be sidelined.

Byrne has been sent back to HQ. I expect we'll get juicier details from Fife in 30 minutes. As for Nanos, all major pollsters are showing notable regional differences.

Nanos has 32/30/29.

CP: Managers should never leave HQ anyways. She's not being replaced: Fife reported last night that Harper has full confidence in her.

Oliphant not a fan of Ontario's sex-ed curriculum. Funny thing is that the provincial riding is Wynne's.

Harper's bringing in Lynton Crosby. Big thanks to our Aussie Liberal friends.

O'Malley on Mulcair's unconstitutional Senate policy.

Would that be the Liberal Party which started the practice of hiring foreign consultants with George Gallup, Oliver Quayle and Lou Harris? That consulted with Team Obama alums and closely paraphrased their slogan? Everyone does it.

I agree with Al. Not a cure-all, just helpful. Indeed none of our notable strategists did anything, well, particularly notable. I guess you could credit Grossart for pioneering the consumerism/institutionalism framing, but that's about it.

Harper will announce his refugee plan as early as this weekend.

Nanos: 32/31/31.

This is weird: Mulcair wants his finance minister to be someone who won't win.

Wilfrid Laurier University's Barry Kay (LISPOP) and Bryan Breguet at 2closetocall also do seat projections, though only Breguet and Grenier do individual seats. Breguet has Ashton safe. Grenier has greater prominence in English Canada though.

Interesting VICE on Avalon. Wonder how well Andrews will do. That and St. John's South-Mount Pearl are the competitive NL seats.

Good Maclean's on the Bloc. Only wish the obvious Socred '80 comparison was made by anyone. Finish the job, Dipper friends.

Mulcair's colleagues recall him advocating privatizing Mont Orford. At any rate, Mulcair and Charest could not work together: Orford was just the trigger. The real story is him allegedly being so abrasive towards Monique Gagnon-Tremblay (then the regional minister) in a committee meeting that she burst into tears and Charest fired him. 3 ex-ministers speak on the record, plus Charest himself is quoted. Mulcair does not deny that part of the story.

Akin and Poitras were discussing on Twitter how limited NDP offensive capability is in the Maritimes. Apart from South Shore-St. Margaret's, Akin thinks Dippers should be playing defence out East. Fun fact from CBC's David Cochrane: all 3 SJSMP candidates are journos. 2 TV (O'Regan and the Tory), 1 print (Cleary). Only one of them nationally famous though.

Once again, Ipsos the outlier. Nanos and Forum have Tories ahead nationally and in Ontario.

Ipsos has had the Tories third since August. Also has the Tories at 39% in Alberta (!) and higher in SK/MB than Alberta. That I can't believe.

Yeah, but they didn't see a big Grit jump like Ipsos or have the Tories at 40% in Alberta. I guess we'll wait for EKOS tomorrow.

Leger out: 38 (-8), 22 (+2), 20 (+2), 18 (+5). Usual reminder about the Francophone + regional vote. Nationally: 31/31/29. He said on Twitter that the Grits are going up in Montreal, Tories in central, Bloc in regions.

And an NDP candidate didn't know what Auschwitz was.
