Six senate seats for the separatist BQ?
Premier Wall, you need to be calling an emergency meeting of your cabinet to draft whatever legislation it takes to protect our resource industry from these crackpots – now.

Update via Bourque “BREAKING: BC Premier Gordon Campbell denounces Coalition putsch: “Stand back, think of Canada !” …”
Good advise, Kate!
Whups! Make that read “advice”.
Probably a good plan.
No, wait! He should secede. That’ll work.

Harper needs to immediately fill all outstanding Senate vacancies. Just in case the s*** hits the fan.
Fill the vacancies and then let the Liberals self destruct! I predict that if this coalition gets off the ground it will crash within a year.
Mike Duffy has just reported that Elizabeth May has said:
Please Mr Harper Don’t Put Tanks On The Hill to Prevent Coalition MP’s.
God Help Us
I suspect the Coalition will tear itself apart within months. Harper would likely be damaged goods under such a scenario. Who replaces him? Prentice, MacKay (too bad Belinda is no longer in Parliament), Clement, Moore? Too bad Montie Solberg is no longer in Parliament. I miss that guy. I suspect Cannon and Charest would not have a chance seeing they are from Quebec and provincial Liberals.
For God’s sake, lets hope Harper can survive this though. He is the best leader in the G8.
Ryan:
How is Harper damaged goods?
Up to 82% of Canadians, in the four polls that I saw, agree that political parties should not be funded by the treasury.
They’re betraying the trust with the Canadian voter for $1.95.
At least Judas had the decency to hold out for 30 pieces of silver.
Duffy is also reporting the Ignatieff Camp is showing signs that this is turning Insane & that Bob Rae is another one to Blame for this Mess of a Coalition with NDP/Bloc & Now the Greens.
Update Are Unelected Greens to get seat at the Cabinet.
This is not sitting well with Mr Ignatieff
Ignatieff if you were ever to Show some balls & show that you Do Love Canada
Walk! Walk Now! Across the Floor Help Save Canada before it is too late.
Funny, CBC still hasn’t mentioned anything about the 6 seats for the Bloc. Duffy interveiwed Cannon in the corridors of Parliament Hill. No CBC reporters there? I guess they’re still trying to digest it… rather, needing time to put a positive spin on it.
God help us indeed!
Why? Elizabeth May, that dolt?!
No. SDA commenters. I’ll use “Ryan” as a particular example for shaming purposes:
This sentiment — or more commonly, Western separation — appears to be a common one on this blog.
Fortunately these people — many of your readers as it turns out — are radical nutbars and they don’t represent the mainstream of the Conservative Party of Canada.
But with these comments sprouting up over the internet, perhaps we should cut Elizabeth May (spit) some slack for her paranoia.
†Indeed. Where would I get such a crazy suggestion?
Christoph asks “Indeed. Where would I get such a crazy suggestion?” Most likely from Hugo Chavez.
Incredible — the Bloc to get SIX Senate seats?!?
It’s getting more terrifying by the day.
“We’re supporting this not to gain influence,” she [May] said at a press conference in Ottawa.
Who is this “we” of which she speaks? She’s the one who stands to gain influence, not the Greens, she’s the one who’ll get her snout in the trough, not the Greens.
She’s just another parasite.
Perhaps he could follow Reagan’s lead.
“My fellow Saskatchewaners, I am pleased to announce that we have just passed legislation that outlaws Ottawa for ever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”
Christoph – no one commenting on this site is an elected MP or the leader of a political party. They are ordinary citizens, entitled to their views, like them or not. But no one has to answer for them, because they represent only themselves.
This is not the case with Elizabeth May. The woman is an unelected idiot who has been granted unearned credibility by leftist sympathizers in the media – and no one else. Their party has been thoroughly rejected by Canadian voters.
Harper needs to fill those senate seats ASAP.
Did they say Green would get cabinet? I thought that was just a senate seat.
Ethics of Leadership Candidates eligibility for the New Cabinet
When Ralph Klein announced his stepping down as Premier/party leader he indicated that any MLA that held any position must resign their Cabinet position if they wished to campaign for the leadership of the party thus Premier.
If the Liberals are so ethical, does that mean Ignatieff, Rae, and LeBlanc are disqualified from the cabinet of the new alliance?
Gerry from Toronto
Until Canada, and especially the west calls Quebec’s bluff, Quebec will continue to run this country at the expense of all others.
Does anyone suspect that there is a drug problem in this coalition and maybe they should all immediately go to rehab?
Until Canada, and especially the west calls Quebec’s bluff, Quebec will continue to run this country at the expense of all others.
At the very least, the four western premiers should call a high level meeting for this week to discuss their terms for secession or staying in Canada.
Kate, you’re right.
That’s the point exactly — that elected MPs or leaders of political parties should behave responsibly.
Elizabeth May should be excoriated, as you have done, and the Bloc Quebecois should be marginalized and considered “odious” as pretty much every mainstream Conservative in and out of office has done…
… but where I get angry is these fringe morons undermining both of those cases by talking about the Canadian Forces marching on Ottawa and “forcing” the Governor General to act, or separatism, which would probably, in the end, fail… and if it was a serious movement, get people killed.
Most separatist movements do. If it had a hope of succeeding, I might possibly give it serious thought, but you’d just have a Western Canada totally capable of electing socialist governments at will.
We’d be smaller, weaker, more easy to pick off or fracture further, and in the mean time such talk only hurts the Conservative cause while there’s serious work underfoot.
This talk undermines conservative arguments against May’s stupidity and the Bloc’s treacherous ways.
But the biggest thing I don’t like about it is it’s ignorant. One would have to know almost nothing about the Canadian Forces as it is as opposed to how it exists in Ryan’s fevered imagination to believe it’s going to March against Canada’s Prime Minister, if the Prime Minister came about legally.
For what it’s worth, I’m sure many CF members who voted Conservative are seething right now, but their officers aren’t going to lead them to Parliament Hill to overthrow any constitutional government.
“Don’t delay. Send this link (http://www.canadians4democracy.ca) to everyone you know and sign and send this petition.”
“Canadians For Democracy
Jack Layton and the NDP say their attempt to overthrow the democratically elected Government of Canada is all about the Fiscal Update. But it’s not. Jack Layton said so himself.
“BQ stability issues, worry about BQ potentially being off-side, we’re taking that very much into account. We have numerous strategies designed to deal with it, I actually believe they’re the least of our problems, but in case I’m wrong, let’s just say we have strategies, this whole thing would not have happened if the moves hadn’t have been made with the Bloc to lock them in early, because you couldn’t put three people together in one, in three hours. The first part was done a long time ago, I won’t go into details…” – Jack Layton
Jack Layton and the NDP are trying to overthrow the Government as part of a secret and longstanding deal hatched with the separatist Bloc. That’s right. The same separatist party whose stated goal is to destroy our great country.
So what does this all mean?” (More)

Actually there is precedent to make Lizzie a senator. Caligula actually did so when he made his favourite horse, Incitatus, a senator. Of course, Caligula also married his sister.
I hear it was a toss up between Dion naming May as a senator or his dog Kyoto. It appears that Dion has lost what little brains he may have ever had. The man is insane.
I wonder what Newman’s take on the reported Bloc appointments. Newman in his usual comabtive mode with CPC reps on his panel will probably say… “Well, you know, the PM does have the right to appoint senators, does he not? What’s wrong with that?!” Of course, blustering and being disruptive, talking over the conservative guest while he/she is giving their response, then quickly going to the Liberal/NDP guests for comment and sitting back in abject silence as they go off topic and choose instead to trash PMSH.
Newman will be on in a few minutes… I suspect he won’t mention the reported Bloc appointments. Again, he needs time to put a proper spin on it.
Christoph, please come clean with us and your agenda. Are you a troll on here to fight with everyone or are you actually interested in having intelligent conversations?
Flash…Spin is now the swirl, as in around the drain. Straight up and spinless. Let the left kill itself with spin because most just do not listen and thinking people see right through it. We want the thinkers, they can keep the fish.
Remember those ads about Canadian Forces in the street with guns under Harper’s leadership?
The ones we laughed at when we weren’t outraged by? And I was outraged. I took action in a serious way for weeks of sustained effort.
They were ludicrous… but people like Ryan would give them credence, and give support to Paul Martins’ Liberals despicable attack. But Ryan is too dense to realize that’s what he just did.
Defeating separatists. Advancing conservative causes. Loving Canada.
Great poll question at Bourque
‘ Should all Tory MPs resign in protest over coalition gvt ? ‘
I voted yes.
Great idea ! – do you think the occupation gov’t would ram their bills through if the Tories didn’t show up ?
Newman has been angling for a senate appointment along with Peter mansbridge. They will go for this big time don’t you think?
Ezra Levant has an interesting take on the developing news.
Apparently one of Gilles Duceppe’s immediate demands is a $1 Billion transfer of cash to Quebec.
BUT remember, say the Liberal-NDP pundits, we can’t have an election because that would cost us $0.3 Billion.
CANADIANS DESERVE AND DEMAND A NEW ELECTION!!!
Whomever recommended watching the Elly May clip on CTV – I will never forgive you!!!!!!!!!!!!
So instead of going to the voters for a mandate, the coalition chooses to buy support with taxpayers money and patronage- a billion more for Quebec, special powers and veto for Quebec, cabinet seats, senate seats….and that is just what we know about.
Disgusting.
Soldiers.
With guns.
In our cities.
In Canada.
Elizabeth May is not making this up.
She’s not allowed to make things up*.
* – except for anthropogenic global warming, what passes for her economic theory, the idea that the Green Party currently exists to do anything other than stroke her ego, the idea that she deserves to participate in the leaders’ debate despite having elected as many MPs as I have…
BREAKING
The knives of the faux-cons are coming out within the Conservatives? Does ‘Pinky Prentice’ have the right aspirations to wait out this coalition and move to the top?
Politics – and not governance – has been within all parties since the dawn of party politics. Et tu, Brutus?
“On Monday, as he entered the House of Commons, Conservative MPs – with two notable exceptions – gave Harper a standing ovation. Those two exceptions were Environment Minister Jim Prentice and Justice Minister Rob Nicholson, two men who could challenge for the party leadership should it come to that.”
Fill the damn senate seats NOW!
Do the same to any unfilled judicual, parole board, and any other spot that the treasonous trio could get their grubby socialist hands on.
Bloc in the Senate? You have to be kidding.
I’m still hoping Iggy pulls the plug on this shytestorm in a socialist teapot. For the good of the Liberal Party, he needs to.
Bet those yogic flyer guys are kicking themselves. If they’d only hung around a few more years that’ve gotten into the senate and cabinet, seeing as every other whack job is.
If the coalition secceds, the Tories should quit.
At least, this protest would remove the ability of the Bloc to influence the coaliton while the rest of us clamour for an election.
Any hope in Hell Danny Millions can be called upon to reverse the error of his ways with a new ABC slogan – Anybody But the Coalition?
I think Elizabeth May would make a great MP or Senator.
She’s look great in those tight pant suits. The nut from Connecticut who got rejected in the US and came to Canada – now in Parliament.
That’s just the best.
Here’s an idea: Why not a REFERENDUM?
If PMSH is successful in proroguing Parliament and the house does not resume until the end of January, is that sufficient enough time (7 weeks)to put together a referendum question to Canadians, just like with the Charlottetown accord?
The question would be quite simple…
Do you support the duly elected government of Canada?
Or
Do you support a Liberal-NDP-Bloc coaltion to run the country?
How could this cabal be opposed to that idea? How would they explain to Canadians that giving us a say is a bad idea?
Is it possible that the gov’t can do this?
Danny Williams. HMMMMM. That poses the question doesn’t it. Was he in on this from the beginning – launch an anti Harper campaign in return for a whole whack of more money and Accdords and you name it from the menage a trois?
Then a senate seat?
What was the payoff to Danny Williams. His campaign was faux rage and a great big over the top act, don’t you think he expected a payoff just like everybody else is getting with YOUR money and YOUR country and YOUR government?.
Up there with “Lay back and think of England?”
Ha, ha, I wrote Campbell, Stelmach, and Wall the other day, asking them to hold a press conference to denounce Le Cabal. Good to find out he was listening! 🙂 Now that’s direct democracy!!
