Coalition Government?

[farmers_son]

It certainly looks like the Harper government will lose a confidence motion and a new government will be formed made up of a coaltion. Any thoughts?

[wilagro]

About time...after all Harper brought this on himself. Bloody fool.

Isn't it interesting that you are supporting a coalition that goes against the very principles of democracy. Not the message you present when we talk about wheat board elections. Better another election than what's currently in front of us.

[wilagro]

The "Coalition" is not illegal or is it a new thing in Canadian politics. Much depends on the GG's assessment of the situation and the action that she takes.

Harper can get around this by proroguing the House and then waiting for a month or two before re-visiting the problem.

Maybe he will think before he acts...next time.

Pay a little closer attention Wil.

Are you having too much trouble understanding that they were plotting this coup for "a very long time" as your beloved Jackie Layton admitted?

Harper could have offered to take the 3 amigos to dinner and they would have done the same thing.

[cakadu]

There are a few interesting things here.

How did said phone call with Layton miraculously grant access to a Tory?

When did said phone call actually take place? I'm no techie, but it seems to me that if you know what you're doing anything can be done.

Mr. Harper is "conveniently" forgetting when he wanted to form a coalition with the Bloc to get one Liberal leader out of the way. Oh wait, that wasn't a formal thing so it was okay.

The dictatorial style of leadership that we have been privy to over the last number of months is finally coming home to roost. We threw our weight around one too many times and now the momentum could very well topple.

What is really scary is that the fate of our country lies in the hands of the GG.

What an absolute mess things are in. I guess if you live long enough.....

[blackjack]

the real scary part is if those three clowns are allowed to stimulate the economy

[cakadu]

Now Mr. Harper is going to go on TV tonight to talk with us "unwashed".

Think about this folks - he has been running a minority government since he got in. Who do you think he was trying to cozy up to in the last 2.5 years when he needed a budget passed - it wasn't the Liberals or the NDP. Now he is trying to portray the Bloc as the boogey man and as a red herring of sorts. He was unable to do what he wanted to do in this last needless election which was gain a majority. We had to go vote a short while ago because he couldn't work with this parliament.

He came out of the election red-faced because he couldn't get what he coveted most (in a time when there was no real competition for the position) and stated that he would work with parliament. Then he goes and the first thing he does (with bad advice to be sure)is to try and take the legs out from under everyone else.

He and he alone has created this mess we are in and now he is trying to put the fear of separation in front of us. He has been the schoolyard bully and now that his nose has been bloodied, he is crying foul.

What is sad is that we are paying these clowns as they go through this gong show instead of dealing with the real issue which is an ever deepening economic problem. Maybe if we said we'd suspend their pay until they learn to play better togther we might see some positive results.

I hate to have a election so soon but thats what needs to be done. The coalition needs to be formed then let the people of Canada decide. The cost of an election is far better than having money go everywhere trying to keep everybody in the coalition happy.
Maybe then somebody will get a majority and can start governing Canada!!!!!

[silverback]

If Stephen Harper is such a hated man like the way you say cakadu, how is it that they ended up with more seats than they had last time? Why did the liberals lose seats? Why didn't the ndp get a bigger boost?

Do you think that it is possible that people are starting to see that the conservatives are not so evil and that just scares the hell out of you? Do you believe everything that the msm write or say on cbc?

And again, I repeat, what part of the tape where Jack admits to planning this a "long time ago" do you not understand? This coup was going to happen as soon as the traitors thought they could make it happen.

By the way, the reason that all those bills got passed over the last couple of years is because the liberals hid under their desks until it was over. The separatists and the ndp voted against them.

God help us all if your separatist coalition get the keys to this country.
