  2. For those blaming Harper and Flaherty…that’s a crock. We all now now that it didn’t matter what was presented as an Economic update, this was in the works. This is disgusting.
    And forget about another election. Most people on these blogs are political junkies like me. Why would the luke warm electorate even bother to vote the next time if their vote doesn’t mean squat in the end?

  3. I want my share of the stimulus package, my company needs support, it is viable, has good prospects and we can sell what we manufacture. Come on give it, now, not tomorrow otherwise I will separate.

  4. It wouldn’t have mattered whether Harper spent money like a drunken sailor or was so tight he squeeked when he walked, as soon as he tried to cut the “Three Little Piggies” off the taxpayer swill, they jumped. The plan was already in place.
    I’ll be keeping my powder dry.
    Time to have the free Republic of Alberta.
    Oh, and Mike – I hope you get to be the first in line at your local food bank.

  5. If you take the province of Quebec out of the equation,the seat count in English Canada is 133 Conservative,100 Lib/NDP,0 Bloc.These figures are thrown out the window and we end up with a minority gov’t beholden to a separatist master.Those people who elected the 133 Conservatives have just been told that their vote does not count in the “New Democratic Canada”.This is so wrong !!!!

  6. Infrastucture takes time to establish, does Dion intend to hire people immediately and have them receiving union pay while sitting, waiting for the years it takes to plan and prepare the infrastructure projects?

  7. BTW,the GG was appointed by Paul Martin because he thought she was hot. It didn’t hurt that she worked for cbc and slept with old white men either,and now she will make one of the most important decision in Canada’s history. I think she is already bought and paid for.

  8. How about this number 38% of the population that voted are now solid conservatives. Time for the West to leave!!

  10. If the west leaves I’m heading for the for the Manitoban border before the iron curtain comes down and East Canada becomes the newest member state of the EUtopia.
    The only question is, will the traffic jam of hard-working, self-reliant, capital-generating citizens pouring out of Ontario back the Trans-Canada up all the way into Lake Ontario?

  11. Well with this Dion gets to be not the 2nd Liberal leader to not ever be PM. He leaves in May and both the national socialist and Gilles Moaists will be on the sidelines for the Liberal’s May leadership campaign for the Liberal party to appoint our next PM. Without a doubt both of these parties will put in some influence for their continued support. If the Liberals want to continue to enjoy their support after May the Liberals will need to provide a leader that meets the requirements of the national socialists and the Maoist seperatists.

  12. Question: Will the new stimulus package include nice big fat bail out bribes to CTV, Global and CBC and newspapers like the Toronto Star who have had to cut staff?
    I’m just asking…. for every single pundit and talking head and so called journalist who supports the travesty I say follow the money. What’s in it for them?

  13. I was born in Newfoundland and am now a US citizen. If western Canada REALLY wants to freak out the east, start talking about Statehood. I’d LOVE to see Alaska connected to Washington through BC.
    Besides, the US could use a few more red states about now, and I know a lot of peeps in the west would like their handguns back. LOL!

  14. Anyone remember that little “wink-and-nod” Obama gave to Canada when the re-do of NAFTA became an issue during his primary campaign?
    Perhaps BHO knew this was coming and gave his tacit approval.
    Just thinkin’… ya know.

    Coup d’états are a bit more problematic with an armed citizenry.

    Conservatives already have AIDS awareness.
    Conservatives are the ones who live a lifestyle that precludes getting HIV in the first place.
    Neither myself nor my loved ones will be getting AIDS or HIV.
    What I as a Conservative don’t have in my “cave” is ribbon fad awareness.
    I can live without it.
    Keep on being a fashion slave QS.
    (Patient Zero for the global AIDS pandemic was a queer Quebecer, how is that for awareness? Not too bad for a cave dweller, eh?)
    >”The CPC got the most seats, but not a majority. The other three parties, who received 64% of the vote, are well within their rights to get together and form the government.

    Stephen Harper has run Canada well for the past 3 years, where was this coalition then?
    Now Stephen Harper has even more seats then he had before then election, there was no coalition running against his CPC, he should run Canada for another 3 years or face another election where the “coalition” is running against his CPC.
    I want another election, now.
    We’ll see how much this “coalition” is supported.

  17. “There is one bright side to this mess: at the end of the coalition when Duceppe knows his free ride is coming to an end, he will set the terms for Quebec’s separation, unfortunately it will cost us dearly.”
    I used to think that separation was a bad thing for Canada. But after this fiasco I think it is the ONLY solution for the west. If this coupe is successful and GG ok’s it western Canada will get screwed ad infinitum. Every time a party is elected by the west this kind of shit will happen.
    With a party like the bloc it will be very hard to get a majority government.

  18. Thanks Ward, I was going to post that myself. I’ve seen it all over the last couple of days from leftoids like Mike. It’s a relief to see that some of us can still reason eh!

  19. Can’t help thinking that maybe Dion has thrown Iggy and Boob under the bus. The deal makes Dion prime minister until his retirement in May it doesn’t mention the new leader of the Libs remaining as PM. Perhaps that is why Jackie is so happy, since he brokered the deal is he the PM after Dion. If that’s the case maybe Iggy and Boob might still walk the floor!

  20. If I was to look for some reasonable rational for this Canadian act of treason & treachery, and was particularly speculative, I would say that George Soros (EU) & Obama are behind this play. Dion was supposed to win but the plan failed and now he gets his make over & the French Metal of Honor
    The USA is spinning out of control with Obama’s communist EU agenda. The optics of Canada under Harper’s stability would be a PR nightmare. Think! What would happen if the Big 3 stopped building cars in the USA but ramped up their Canadian Plants? Canada, under Harper, would become an economic powerhouse picking up all the investment dollars of America’s shunned industries. Canada has to be in the same state of chaos or it looks bad to the American public.
    The Canadian communists seize power and follow the US lead… Canadian Sovereignty becomes mute surrendering without a shot been fired. The Canadian democracy is DOA. The GG will approve the coup d’état, and that will destroy all remaining legitimacy of the Monarchy. Good riddance!
    Prove me wrong

  21. “Taliban Jack” Layton (on the left) may confirm western Canucks’ suspicions that Canada is a de facto colony of Quebec.

  22. Phillip, this is homegrown. They’re simply riding on the coattail of the Obamanation. Same with our media – they observed first hand how a media system devoid of ethics can control a political process, and since their financial picture is in the toilet (tons of layoffs this week in Cdn media sectors) milking this help bolster the bottom line. Keeping this going keeps them alive. Like Jack says, “…democracy, what about it?”
    This coup has Bob Rae’s fingerprints all over it. He’s the one intervenor with both feet firmly planted in both camps. The discussions about doing this started during the first CPC minority, not after the last election. It was clear that this tactic was a consideration during the first minority, but the Liberals were too self-secure to play. Having lost the confidence of Canadians, Dion is desperate and so now he’ll toss what’s left of his principles and intellect under the bus at all cost. Jack and Gilles are all in because neither have any ethics, Jack especially. At least Gilles puts his cards squarely on the table as to what he stands for. Jack’s just plain white trash.

  24. While Harper was undoubtedly right to want to cut the public funding of political parties, the timing shows that he still has a political tin-ear …. I like Harper and I think he is mostly right on the issues, but he makes the mistake of attacking small but symbolically important targets (arts funding, political funding) – it’s not that I don’t want to see those targets attacked, but there is a time for everything …

    That’s just about 100% of a conversation I had recently with my only conservative friend.
    I like the way Lorne Gunter put it: Harper was too-clever by half; the commie parties disingenuous by a factor of 6 (not exact words, “commie” mine). Obviously, Harper, a good and decent man of integrity, lacked the imagination to foresee the depths to which these commie scumbags would descend.
    I’m also remembering Harper’s nonsense about declaring that Quebec was a “nation” and that some of the smartest commenters here were in a swoon over his alleged tactical brilliance. As we can see, it got us precisely nothing.

  25. You guys are all too worked up. Harper, if he survives this (I am sure there are some Conservatives out to get him if this government falls) will be in the drivers seat soon. Really, how long will this coalition last with the support of the separatists??? It will fall soon enough, then how will they campaign? Will it be the NDP and the Liberals, or the Liberal-Democrats? Do we have three guys leading national parties making no sense while Duceppe cleans up, or is Harper just setting these fools up for the big kill?
