As is the norm here at SDA, the best ideas come from the comments - With Kate's permission perhaps it is time to speculate on a name for the coalition. Perhaps the Traitors, Commies and Clueless party?
My favourite so far - "The Coalition of the Swilling"
Add your own in the comments. It's time for a new thread, anyway.
Update - already several exceptional suggestions and a first-rate rant...
New Libloq
The Progressive Pork Party
The USSR - Union of Separatists and Socialists against the Right
New Libs on the Bloc
The Raucas Porkas Caucus
Bloc Torontois
"The Treasonists... The Terminally Stupid party... The Pathological Self Preservationists... The Can You Repeat the Question Again Party... The Peoples Temple of Trudeauvia Party... The F##K Democracy Party... The Entitled to their Entitlements Party... The Canada Schmanada Party... The Don't Vote For Me, and We'll Seize Power Anyhow Party...

Posted by: allan at November 29, 2008 1:03 AMMy mind's focused on a Batman theme. Here's the promo of their new show:
"Hey there peasants in Canuckistan, this Friday night watch Stephane 'Da Dictator' Dion and Jack 'The Spender' Layton in their new roles as the Dynastic Duo! In the West, watch Stephane siphon out billions of dollars with his Green Shaft Plan and destroy the livelihoods of millions of families. And in the East, watch Jacky the Boy Wonder take all of that money and borrow much more and give it to any company that has a union; the bigger the union the more money they get! Behind them in the Batty Mobile, watch Gillie 'Da Separator' Duceppe controlling their every move with marionette strings. All that and much less, this Friday on the New CBC, the one with a greatly increased budget!"

Party of Central Canada.
Soon to become the natural governing party of whatever is left of Canada once the provinces east of Ontario separate from this nation after this disgraceful disregard for the voice of Canadian voters, and Quebec votes itself separation as well.
Three Toronto politicians and a Quebec separatist are going to subvert the will of the rest of Canada.
Incredible.
Though I live in Toronto, I would support Western separation at this point, and will make plans to move there as soon as the deed is done.

How can the GG possibly assume Dion and Jack Layton can take the reins of power in this economic crisis when they have to rely on the Separatiste Duceppes for the balance of power?
Are we going to be put in the hands of the Separatistes on important issues?
Duceppes has repeated over and over, his interests are only those affecting Quebec. So they will only get his support for Quebec issues. That is not going to work, we can't tolerate it.

That would be very classy, as for the NDP and Lieberanos, you assholes team up with the Bloc lookout! you are getting on the "fighting side" of this loyal Canadian. Dion will stick his "green shift" to us, Jack will Tax the investments right out of this country, and the bloc will just ask for more money.

It is remarkable (and dare I say rather enjoyable) to watch the libs lose their minds because they no longer have absolute control.
This is a party that is utterly entrenched with the idea that they are the only ones who are allowed to govern. This is a party that feels it deserves, *just by its existence*, a full set of entitlements. This is a party that has been so determined to govern that it has not hesitated to brainwash an entire generation of Canadians, starting as young as 5 years old, into believing that the Liberal Way is how all Canadians *must* think.
Their deep-rooted self-righteousness and arrogance is being exposed for all the world to see. The liberal fat cats are going berserk from hunger now that the trough has been taken away.
It is immensely satisfying to see, and a very good thing for Canada.
And when you hear Ignatieff speak you know that his way of thinking is no different to all the arrogant liberals that have came before him. And so hopefully he too will be washed away in the change.

and therefore she has not a clear precedent to allow her to make a decision out side of the "will of parliament." If the conservatives lose the confidence vote and the Coalition of Losers can demonstrate an effective government alternative to her, then she is obligated to the elected Parliament to bend to its will...
Of course, I could be completely wrong.
Posted by: Schwarze Tulpe at November 29, 2008 12:41 PM"Covetous Bastards" sounds about right to me.
Posted by: Mal at November 29, 2008 12:45 PMI was thinking Bloc-GTA.
With the idealogical extremism of the NDP and the venality of the Liberals there could be some short term changes coming down the pike. The Liberals crave power so desparately they will likely give into every on of Jack and Gille's demands. Most of these are gleaned from the MSM:
1. Immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan (on of Layton's reported conditions).
2. Another reported condition would be the cancelling of 50 billion in business tax cuts (TSX drops 1500-2000 points, C$=70 cents U.S.)
3. A move to hobble/tax Alberta's oilsands which are already in poor shape due to oil prices.
4. A green tax on the electricity bills of Alberta, Sask, and Martimes to be transferred to Quebec (a possible Duceppe demand)
5. Stephane Dion representing Canada on the world stage.
The long term good news:
It probably wouldn't last long. This hyper-left coalition would leave acres of political real estate in the center for the conservatives to claim. There could even be floor crossings by Liberals from the maritimes and non-GTA Ontario. A Conservative majority is likely to follow from the current voter base being beefed up by an influx of refugees from the blue wing of the Liberal party.
Fasten your seat belts.

I say all provinces should do the same thing. These guys are screeching about their own tax payer teat entitlements. Imagine when the whole country starts screaming just like them.
I sense that Dion has been plotting this for some time now behind closed doors. The Liberals and NDP have not put forward any constructive ideas in cooperation with the government's plans to help the country during this tough time. Apparently the BLOC has and was thanked profusely in the house for being part of the solutions.
I really think Dion has a mental illness of the sort that will not allow him to be a "loser" and he will take down this country and all of this just to PROVE he can be the boss.

Posted by: Westerner at November 29, 2008 1:27 PMWe can all have fun coming up with names for this so-called coalition, however .... the thought of these greedy, entitled fools calling the shots in Ottawa is frightening, to say the least. With people of this calibre running the show, how long before Canada joins in the recession? How long will it take to clean up the mess that they will invariably create? If this unholy alliance becomes reality, the outlook is very bleak indeed.
Posted by: biffjr. at November 29, 2008 1:30 PMSo if Harper calls another election, would the Liberals and NDP just run one candidate per riding and swamp the PC's this way? Food for thought.
Posted by: marshall at November 29, 2008 1:37 PMmarshall - it would never happen. If they did that it would mean the end of one of those parties. Might be a good thing though. It would bring us closer to what they have in the USA.
The Three Little Pig Parties had better think this one over very carefully. A solid 2/3 of Canadians do not want to see this happen. If they do it there will be hell to pay and part of that will be a definite rise in Western sentiment of alienation strenghtening the case for a separate West. I love my country but some easterners are really pissing me off these days.

Here's a thought...we all know that the opposition parties are fighting to protect the $1.95 per vote obtained in the last election, and trying to force another election to get ANOTHER $1.95 per vote. With that and a coalition that includes the Dippers, we could call them:
"The Double-Dipper Party of Canada".

Posted by: GYM at November 29, 2008 4:20 PMcollision of fools
and as far as this coalition being proposed and put into government may just hit a constitutional road block that may need to be decided by the courts, as a lib/ndp coalition is not numerically strong enough to defeat the cons, thus the support factor of the bloc may not be enough to warrant such a move. On that note the GG may feel compelled to call an election, and that would surely blow up in the faces of these leftist twits.
and on another note, this whole thing may be just the impetus needed to make constitutional and election changes

It won't matter, By that time there will be no Canada West of Manitoba. Besides if he does he knows he’s a political goner in his base. See Unlike Progressives we call our Leaders to account. Mulroney found that out the hard way. You folks just sell yourselves to a label site unseen, not with your brains, but emotions. So who is blind? You don't even know recent history. Ad scam remember, 13 years of Government theft by Liberals, While Taliban Jack was living is subsidized housing while him & his concubine where pulling down half a million a year. Than you have the Federal Separatists whose sole goal is Quebec’s Nationhood. Your not only blind but comatose.

There is no way the GG could accept the Bloc from forming a government; and to show that the Lib-Dip coalition can form a government, they will have to show that they have the syupport of the Bloc, even if they are not in Cabinet.

Posted by: Matthew Campbell at November 29, 2008 9:01 PMI'm starting to believe that the Separatist/Liberal/Communist alliance have had this coup planned for awhile now, maybe as far back as the election campaign when they knew the man from France was going to be slaughtered at the polls. We all know the Separatist/Liberal/Communist alliance's only concern is self preservation, and that they could care less about democracy and the institutions of Canada, and even less about the Canadian electorate. So, would they have taken on this reckless over throwing of the government and seizure of power if they didn't already have the approval of the Separatist sympathiser in the GGs office pre-coup d'etat. I know it's a tad conspiracy, but one has to wonder if the Douche bag alliance would have under taken such an obvious affront to democracy without being assured of it's success before hand.
Posted by: Sean M at November 29, 2008 9:10 PMFast forward a couple of months after the Coup d'etat. It will be the duty of every citizen who wishes to live free, to resist this unlawful regime by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. So who decides what is necessary? I suggest graded response, beginning with the immediate cessation of ALL federal payments from Western Provinces. And then see whether those shitbags in the NDP and Libranos have the stomach for a real showdown...
Posted by: bcf at November 30, 2008 11:47 AMWHATEVER the clever ... when I read that the THREE other parties were going to team up to toss the Tory gov't. and form a government on their own I smelled something rotten. Sure enough the familiar STENCH comes from our very own X-Prime The Dishonourable Jean Cretin. Only his ego and thirst for more power / $$$ could bring him out from under his rock to "facilitate" such a move on the Canadian people.

Posted by: Stephen Harris at December 1, 2008 10:41 AMThis whole affair has really come as a shock: Why now? The Liberals had more than two years to pull off a coalition attempt, back when they had almost the same number of seats between them as the Tories. But the Liberals are now in a leadership race, having badly lost an election. The Liberal-NDP coalition would have far less support in the house than the opposition, held up by a party that could not actually join the government!
What the Liberals are doing is turning one of our worst economic crises in years into potentially the worst constitutional crisis in Canadian history! The resulting political fallout is not likely to help the economy, the country in general... or even the Liberal party?
Why not, now that the Conservatives have been thoroughly rattled, have a Liberal Conservative deal to keep the government from falling for the next six months, on the condition that Dion (and maybe Layton, if we have to...) is named to Cabinet.
This would give the Liberals time at least to have a leader elected by the party (to avoid having a lame duck PM, or a PM without a mandate from his own party). Then an election could be held in June of next year, and winner takes all...

Posted by: M David at December 1, 2008 12:06 PMThis so called coalition shows complete disrespect for the Canadian electorate. Therefore I hereby name this new party:
NRFCE Party
to be better known as the "in ur face party" which stands for "No Respect For Canadian Electorate". They should be tried for treason imo.
This is an attack against Canada! Nothing Short. If this is the way the Liberals want to come into power then they should expect an equally similar aggressive and hopefully violent response. This is a call to arms to fight.
This will change Canada forever. What these un Canadian monsters in Ottawa are doing is separating Canada.I as a westerner feel more alienated then ever.
Forget the whining and bitching of Quebec.
Its time for western Canada to LEAVE!
BY THE TIME THIS IS OVER STEPHEN DION WILL BE PM OF 3-4 PROVINCES.
