Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Cool, I’ll be the first to comment here. I’m the dummy who contributed the Coalition of the Swilling…The Buck Ninety-Five so kills that.
When this whole economic update, cutting subsidies thing came out I cheered out loud. Harper’s shrewd move really gave me hope of a real move towards the right. Then this coaliton crap comes out…never saw that coming. It’s very exciting to follow for junkies like me…but some elements I hadn’t considered.
Thanks Kate.
My nostrils are touching my earlobes right now, I’m so mad.
The unforeseen ramifications of these power hungry idiots really scare me.
Go Harper. And please stay strong
Sam.
Canadian markets would be down this am. anyways, but the current political uncertainty is certainly making things worse. Any thoughts on whether Power Financial, gold and oil will be the appropriate investment strategies going forward?
And it all goes according to plan for Duceppe.
I’m with you 100% Sam. I have never been so angry in my life. The TSX was up 500+ points on Friday, before all this crap came to light. Now it’s down 600+ and still sinking.
What’s next? After they stage the coup are they going to seize all the media outlets and declare marshal law? I feel like I’m living in some turd-world country in Africa or Central America.
These people have no shame wahtsoever and it’s patently clear that they have nothing but disdain for the Canadian people.
Last thing I read before going to bed was abt Jackal’s move and after a few hours’ sleep was awakened sharply with a feeling of dread. I went into praying mode for the next two hours so am tired and ready for a fight.
When the jackal was pumping out the ads before the election I wondered where the money was coming from. Now I’d really like to know.
The real ramifications of this are that the block will now have defacto power over this Country from now on. The block has always been seen as a non suitable parter because of the whole want to destroy Canada thing. This short sighted stupidity will change that. They will be seen as the party necessary to appease for power.
We are all doomed.
And they also brought down the S&P (down 4.6% in the same 15′), the Nasdaq and Dow (also 4% down). Boy, these socialists up in Canuckistan have all of North America’s economy under their spell! The end is nigh! It’s all Jack’s fault!

The tanking TSX: the Liberal economic stimulus package in action.
Tranna cztar comments pretty much across the board.
Nice to know some readers believe in a thing called democracy…

We need an election after we read all this crap.
And the last couple of months of stock market declines were whose fault? Small Dead Minds indeed.
If I was a voting person, I’d say it was worth an election to see which option people really want, Harper’s plan or the Coalition.
Yeah, Harper only received a minority, but the other parties received even less votes–and I don’t think anything like a majority would have supported a party offering Finance Minister Jack Layton.
So: if it comes down to it, the Governor General should let the electorate speak.
I’m finding it fascinating that the left seems *not* to want a vote on it.
And the last couple of months of stock market declines were whose fault?
Left wingers in the United States who decided that money should be loaned to people who never should have been given loans.
One can only hope the GG sends us back to the polls. I don’t see how she can approve a coalition that has Separatists holding the balance of power over Canada.
In other news……. GDP up for the third Quarter.
Not by a lot, but up nonetheless.
Stats Can.
“The Troika of Evil”
Well Mark, her background is Separatiste.
And that goofball of a husband of hers is as well.
PMSH needs to be talking to 9-10 liberals who don’t want this “New Libs on the Bloq” to cross the floor to the CPC.
“One can only hope the GG sends us back to the polls. I don’t see how she can approve a coalition that has Separatists holding the balance of power over Canada.”
I seem to recall the GG’s husband was an avid separatist and she was a Liberal appointee. Where do you think her loyalties likely lie?
I just sent the Governor General an E-mail telling her we need an election. For her to allow the coalition to take over will lead to the destruction of Canada. …… info@gg.ca
I sent many e-mails yesterday, but the most important one was to the GG. I think she needs an avalanche of them. NO coalition, I want an election…maybe we can cut off the head of the snake.
the GG can cut a deal with the libs to be GG for life , and they can invite Adrian Clarkson to come back for the new position of the Queen Bum.
God created Canada so rich he had to put Canadians there just to make it even.
the only crisis created here are self induced.
at least it knocked Omar Khadr off CBCpravdas radar screen.
atric” “And that goofball of a husband of hers is as well.” Yes, I too am concerned that the goofball husband will have strong influence here. The appointment of the “actress”, rather than a statesman (woman) with a strong record of leadership in Canada was a dire mistake for which we may now pay the consequences.
da “Coup Coup Kooks” are going to get their bell rung sooner rather than later.
The TSE should have had a good day today . . GDP up 1.3% – can’t even go into a recession for another six months.
Except the Coalition of the Swilling said they would roll back the $50b tax cuts – can you say STIMULUS! and spend $30 Billion on gawd knows what favorite Ontario and Quebec dying industry.
So it boils down to a $20 billion dollar tax increase, a government revenue windfall.
Now we know the price of paying off the Bloc and Quebec to support the greed and naked power lust of of the Liberals and the Dippers.
The price of treason . . . $20 Billion
An excellent case has now been made to enact a Republic of Canada Act
An act that would,
1. Draft a new Constitution to enshrine the citizen as sovereign and the Government of Canada as subservient and directly answerable to the people.
2. Abolish permanently the Queen and her role, Royal Prerogative and Inherent Powers and the role of Governor General, and replace the position with a President of Canada.
3. The President becomes the Commander in Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces.
4. The President becomes Chief Executive of the Government of Canada.
5. Prime Minister becomes the Chairman of the House who is selected by House members.
6. Chairman of the Senate is selected by Senators.
7. All bills originating in Parliament require the Presidents signature.
8. The President has line-item veto power.
9. The role of Prime Minister and his Cabinet would now be absorbed by the Presidents office.
10. Senators stand for election.
11. Judges stand for election.
12. Premiers stand for election.
13. Lieutenant Governors get abolished
That should take care of this coalition nonsense.
The TSX is down and so is the Dow. I suspect the profit-takers are moving in to generate some cash from last week’s rise. Even so, I can’t imagine the propsect of Canada being ruled by a leftist junta is going to help our investment portfolios.
kpd – how does the president get in office? Election? how?
Oh, no, a Toronto Red Star poll going horribly wrong:
Do think a Liberal-NDP coalition with Bloc support would lead to good government?
Yes 950 40%
No 1335 56%
Don’t know 81 3%
(And those layers of fact checkers seem to have missed a “you”.)
President stands for election too. He nominates Cabinet members and House gets to vet the process just like the US.
And the world will laugh at what we squandered.

Very nice M.Matt. Most on the left fail to realize this very obvious and simple fact.
On another thought…I do love the stimulus of the coalition of the pathetic….$50 billion in taxes for corps.
small dead lberia.
The natural end result of socialism:
Pervert/psychotic lberia snuffed by Nikky Khruschev:
Lavrenti Beria Executed: December 23rd, 1953
He soon succeeded Yezhov, who was shot on Stalin’s orders, apparently at Beria’s prompting. Beria, who went on to run the Soviet network of slave-labour …

You mission, Gilles, should you chose to accept it is to give support to Taliban Jack and foreign citizens (French) Dion and (American) Ignatieff as well as the usual failed communists to bring down the country of Canada. We know you have had moist dreams of this day and were almost convinced it would never happen. Rest assured that even though the cash from Ontario will slow down the cash from the west will increase as Saskatchewan will now join Alberta in paying tithe to Quebec. As usual this message will self destruct (As will this plot), good luck Gilles.
The Liberals, most of all, will lose big time medium and long term in this putsch.
In a few months Harper will get a mulligan for another shot at a majority with a hyper-motivated base supplemented by an influx of blue Liberals.
If fighting breaks out amongst the Libs on who will lead the coup (as appears may be happening) getting 11+ floor crossers is a real possibility.
“The President becomes the Commander in Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces.”
And when Pres. Jack Layton has the 10-man Army wearing pink-tutu’s and invading Alberta to stop the oil sands, then what?
The TSX is down by a greater percentage than the DOW even though there was a good GDP report that came out today. The political instability is causing at least part of the fall.
Harper needs to remove the GG if he thinks she will go rogue, introduce the budget, have it voted down, and call an election so this Marxist whore will be put in its place.
Imagine for a minute this scenario.
Liberals are just elected to a minority government. The Reform and Conservative parties overthrow the government and take power.
Wonder what the NDP/Liberals would have said had this occured?
If this coalition goes ahead as planned, I am giving serious consideration to ditching my investments in the Canadian market.
With the NDP looking covetously at the oil patch, I can’t see how investments there are going to do anything but get much cheaper over the next year or so.
No matter what happens on Monday, political stability and certainty is something we can kiss goodbye for a year or more. Financial markets don’t like that sort of thing because it leads to economic uncertainty.
I suspect many investors already agree with me. At this point, more uncertainty is the only thing we can really be certain of.
If(heaven forbid)the coalition gets to govern. It is without a doubt that the Liberals and N.D.P. will be in a constant clash for whose ideas are the choice to implement. Not to mention the Bloc who want Quebec to be the decision makers. It will be chaos,big time. Not to mention the press we will get on the world stage. If it must go ahead let the people decide we can think about it around our Christmas celebrations. Dona J
It happens that some people are tempted by thousands of dollars, but $1.95? Who would thought Jack Layton could be that greedy?
…and Dion so self-deluded in butchering Liberal party.
I woke up today so mad and so worried.
I live in Harper’s riding afterall.
The only solution would be another election ‘to end all elections’.
If the Bloc is not an official part of the coalition, all this talk is nonsense, PERIOD. There cannot be a coalition that has less seats combined then another party.
Next Monday will see an amazing number of 24 hour flus or migraines as Liberals excuse themselves from this disgraceful episode. I like the Nat Post suggesting that Iggy is very cool to the whole idea and that he has support of 77 Liberal MPs in the leadership race.
Reading the comments on the Globe and Mail website. Big mistake, cuz now my blood pressure is up. All the wankers from Bloor St and the Beaches are cooing with pleasure. Evil Harper is getting his comeuppance. So a Toronto coup ensues. What a country….wish I’d emigrated to Australia when I had the chance…
If this coalition goes, do the lieberals and dippers shut down their respective parties or is that their backup to maintain their pensionable time at the trough???
tranio,
National Post says Iggy is actually at the epicentre of putsch attempt.
But your comment makes one wonder whether the Rae and Leblanc supporters, who have just had their cabinet/entitlement futures snuffed, might not show up to vote.
Please vote in the Globe & Mail poll.
