Liberals only gainers in latest poll numbers
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION

MANITOBAS Liberals have gained the most in provincial politicalparty support, says a new Probe Research poll conducted for the Winnipeg Free Press and CTV Winnipeg.
And it could have less to do with what voters think of Manitoba Liberal Leader Rana Bokhari than they do of Justin Trudeau, the popular leader of the federal Liberals.
The provincial Liberals gained four points from Probes last sounding of provincial support, while both the Progressive Conservatives and NDP dropped slightly, Probe Research president Scott MacKay said. "It seems that any kind of momentum either for the Tories going up and the NDP dropping doesnt seem to be at play anymore. It seems things have levelled off now. The only dynamism or volatility is with the Liberals."
The PCs under Leader Brian Pallister continue to enjoy a comfortable lead over the governing NDP with the support of 42 per cent of decided voters, down three per cent from 45 per cent in June.
The NDP is also down slightly to 30 per cent of support from decided voters from 32 per cent four months ago. The decline in support for the two parties is within the polls margin of error.
MacKay said it appears the Liberals have taken advantage of that decline despite Bokharis low profile since becoming leader one year ago.
"Its not that the Liberals have done anything at all," he said. "Its just when a disgruntled New Democrat is looking for a home, theres too much ideological difference between them and the Tories. They have to find somewhere to go, and they have to say something to a pollster on the telephone. They cant bring themselves to be a Tory just yet."

Liberals help pass CAQ motion seen as targeting Peladeau
CTV Montreal Published Thursday, October 9, 2014 10:16AM EDT Last Updated Thursday, October 9, 2014 6:30PM EDT
The governing Quebec Liberals voted today in favour of an opposition CAQ motion that could prevent a sitting MNA from owning majority shares in a media outlet.
The motion was passed Thursday morning in the National Assembly by 84 votes to 22 votes against. The three Quebec Solidaire MNAs voted in favour of the motion, but Parti Quebecois MNAs - including Jean-Francois Lisee - voted against.
Interim PQ leader Stephane Bedard said that his party would oppose all changes to the code of ethics inspired by the current debate involving media baron and likely leadership hopeful Pierre Karl Peladeau.
Prior to the vote Premier Philippe Couillard suggested that the Liberals were supporting the bill as a means to eventually creating a parliamentary commission to study ethics rules.
Well support this motion to show that we are concerned about this issue," he told a scrum of reporters in Quebec City Thursday morning.
Its not through the National Assembly or a bill that this will be settled but rather through a higher discussion on the issue, said Couillard. The solution lies with the recommendations of a parliamentary committee to discuss the issue, he said.
An ethics bill, changing rules in the National Assembly, is a complicated affair. Usually wed like to do this through unanimity, a consensus but with the debate we have seen it doesnt seem likely.
PKP slams bill
The proposed legislation seems targeted at likely Parti Quebecois leadership candidate and media baron Pierre Karl Peladeau, who has condemned the initiative.
