  2. This is neat. Over at CTV.ca poll (11:20 PM ET), when asked who they preferred to govern the country, 63% responded Conservative, with 37% to the “Coalition.”
    Hmm, skewed poll, it’s the reverse of “what Canadians voted for.”
    Fellow Canadians, if you are fine with Stephane Dion as PM, then well fine. If this bothers you, then consider getting off your ass and letting the media know (opposition parties have already demonstrated what you think isn’t important, they know already) in a public way by attending upcoming rallies in your area, by politely conversing about it with your community.
    As a nation, we’re walking right into this thing. Lots of people told me today that they were sure Dion wouldn’t get this through. My heart hopes they’re right, but my head says otherwise.
    How will you feel if after this calamity happens, when you didn’t take a half hour of one of your days to voice your displeasure at this anti-election gambit.
    The fact that you weren’t allowed a vote in it will not be the only silencing you endure, the worst blame will be at your door.
    This is serious. It can happen. If you didn’t vote for that, then say so. Loudly.

  3. CTV/Angus Reid poll.
    http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20081202/poll_future_081202/20081202?hub=TopStories
    “Slightly more than a third of Canadians said they would support a coalition government formed by the opposition”
    Isn’t that less than the 3 opposition parties combined got in the last election? So even their own supporters are against this cabal.
    As well…
    “Meanwhile, 64 per cent of Canadians across Canada said they would be uncomfortable with Dion as leader of the government, while just 25 per cent said they would be fine with the idea.”
    Can’t wait for Dion to field questions on that result. We know he’ll dismiss it as polls being polls, but at the very least it forces him to address his own unpopularity with Canadians.. that in the context of trying to take power.
    It’s all unraveling.

  4. Tasha Kheiriddin of the Fraser Institute & a Quebecer has been speaking out about this crisis, saying:
    *”Politics is often a dirty business”
    *This is a conspiracy
    *”Obscuring the real debate, which is the economic situation in our country”
    *”Playing politics in a very serious economic situation in our country when stability is the thing markets are looking for, the Canadian public is looking for”
    *”deficits for stimulus don’t work in the long term”
    She’s also been out there rescuing Canada’s right again with a great column blasting the defcits for economic stimulus (and that’s being gracious).

  5. They buried the lede:
    “Thirty-four per cent supported political parties receiving public funding based on $1.95 per vote in the general election, while 48 per cent sent thought the parties should rely solely on their own fundraising.”

  7. http://www.62percentmajority.ca/home
    The coalitions new website.
    “Instead of working with other parties to tackle the current economic crisis, Harper’s opted for total inaction and political tricks.”
    Two problems, first there’s no “economic crisis”, I’ve seen this term thrown around a lot. We have a financial crisis, outside of our borders. We also have an economic slowdown.
    Inaction? I can name you 15 things he’s done.

  8. Sorry, posted this on the wrong spot:
    This coming Saturday could be an historic one – like Charlottetown’s repudiation this will a scream back at the elites who think they can rule us. And we now what happened to the party that tried to push the accord down our throats…
    As the slogan goes “The Conservative Party is Canada’s Party”.
    Right now it looks like it is Canada’s ONLY party…
    ….
    This is latest post over at by Kinsella over at his site:
    ”
    “In a time of universal deceit,
    telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
    George Orwell famously said that. He’s right, of course.
    I am heading off to sleep for a long while – it has been quite a collection of days.
    Before I go, here’s some fatherly advice: Be true to your heart and your mind, and you won’t always be right. But you’ll certainly sleep a lot better.
    Good night, Canada.”
    Smells like defeat to me…
    Maybe now a real purging of the corruption and machine politics of the left and centre-left can begin.

  9. Poll at Canoe News:
    What do you think about the opposition’s move to take control of the Canadian Parliament?
    It’s good 12%
    It’s bad 30%
    It’s within the rules 9%
    It’s treasonous 44%
    It won’t make any difference 6%
    Total Votes for this Question: 7587
    To me it looks like 74% think this stinks!

  11. Check out poll at canoe news:

  14. EDB if you are out there’
    regarding your reply to me the other night – pip pip. I have to admit I was fearful of the fickle Canadian voter and the affect the media impulse has over them, but after the last couple of days and seeing the reaction that has been generated because of this my heart has swelled. For those pundits who are saying that conservatives are displeased with Harper, well there seems to be a whole lot of potential candidates all of a sudden who are interested in supporting the CPC in a membership. I definitely am one of them again. No doubt Harper was holding most of the cards though, a very good call on your part.
    ……At Yahoo Canada, news editor Trevor Wilker said the “appetite for this story is huge.”
    People, it seems, can barely wait for every twist and turn of the political plot.
    “Whenever we do put up a new headline, you can just see the traffic come in,” Wilker said.

    Who would you prefer to govern the country?

  15. A word of warning re the Our Right to Vote on the Coalition Government petition.
    A few years back a petition re Ontario Hydro had been presented to the Ontario government which I believe was never accepted as legit because addresses weren’t included.
    You want to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen to this petition.

  16. Re: Polls – I guess Stephane Dion cannot now say the only poll that counts is the one on the day of the election now because he is afraid to go to an election.
    You know – those who can’t do teach.(Professor Dion)
    Those who can’t win cheat.

  19. Letter in the Globe and Mail today from a fool named Max Yalden, former head of the Canadian “Human Rights” Commission, a.k.a. the Lynch Mob. He’s responding to Rex Murphy’s column on Saturday.
    Here’s why he’s a fool: “[Murphy] recounts the myth that the ‘central’ human right is ‘free speech and thought’. All students of human rights are agreed that there should be no hierarchy of rights, but if there were, it would probably be the right to life. For untold numbers of the world’s hungry millions, it is more important to be able to put bread on the table than to indulge in delivering oneself of controversial columns of newsprint. And even in an affluent society like Canada, who would defend the view that the right to free speech is more ‘central’ than, say, equality rights for women or the rights of the child?”
    The most notable myth here is that there is no hierarchy of rights. Of course there is a hierarchy, and, indeed, the right to life is the fundamental right from which all others derive (at least he clued in on this). “All students of human rights”, therefore, are wrong, and unfortunately their little myth continues to do a lot of damage to genuine human rights. In fact, that is probably one goal of this misguided no-hierarchy notion: to destroy legitimate human rights, thereby enabling political prisoners and the gulag. The right to free speech and thought (and free expression generally) is a corollary of the right to life.
    After this, Yalden starts babbling. “Putting bread on the table” is important to all, but he’s mixing apples and oranges. There is no right to bread, there is only the right to be productive and to trade with others for the products of their own efforts. Perhaps we should denote this as the right to live under capitalism (another right that governments violate). Furthermore, those who are productive need free speech to communicate with others for trade purposes and also to defend against those who would deprive them of their lawful gains. As Ayn Rand said, “What the ‘haves’ have is freedom, and it is freedom that the ‘have nots’ have not”.
    A second apples-oranges faux pas occurs when he pits free speech against “equality rights for women”. Equality rights for women means that (for example) women have free speech equally as do men, that they are entitled to equal protection of the legal system, that their testimony in court shall (all other things being equal) be considered equally to that of men. This last point may not be found in all interpretations of the legal code of a certain religion that is considered “politically incorrect” to criticize these days. Equality rights for women does not mean, however, that (for example) the average wage earned by a woman should be the same as that earned by a man, or that any organization should have 50% women on staff and 50% men.
    Oh, and if women have to wear burqas in society, then men should too. Curiously, the same people who loudly proclaim they are in favour of “equal rights for women” are often the same ones who would have Canada and other western nations remove themselves from Afghanistan, thereby leaving women to the tender mercies of barbarians who would treat them much less than completely equally. Which means that these advocates of “equality for women” are phonies and frauds, to the last man. Or woman.

  20. There’s a new name for the Coalition:
    Canada’s Sloppy Seconds, inspired by the comments of the NHL star which earned him a suspension.
    Pass it on.

  21. From a Liberal Blog: Hmmmmm.
    Conservative MPs To Join “Grand Coalition”
    From highly placed Liberal sources:
    We’re hearing confirmed reports of high level discussions with Conservative MPs regarding joining the Dion/Layton/Duceppe “Grand Coalition. Sources indicate that the MPs are “progressives”, and are extremely upset with Harper.
    The Conservative “floor crossers” will NOT sit in the Liberal Caucus. They will be part of the “Grand Coalition” as “Independent Conservatives”.
    As of posting, it has not been confirmed by our highly placed sources just when this “walk” will take place, but it is either to be Monday, or with further Harper shenanigans, after the fall of the government. Sources say these MPs could be part of the coalition cabinet. This certainly explains why cabinet members have not been named yet.

  22. Vitruvius,thanks,I needed a break and listening to that reminded me of talking to my internet ‘representative’.Kudos to him,he must be about i20 years old now and still frustrating people.A man that has found his ‘calling’.

  25. Three economic concepts:
    Richard Florida, writing in Saturday’s Globe: “Keynes famously remarked that the economy would be better off even if all workers did was dig ditches and fill them up again”.
    This of course is preposterous. Such activity produces nothing that people can trade for or consume. Were the workers employed at productive farms, factories, offices, etc., they would be producing goods and services, and thereby raising the standard of living. Were all workers digging ditches and filling them in, the standard of living would be at zero.
    When Keynes’ General Theory came out in 1936, a reputable economist of the day remarked that there was nothing in it that was both true and original. Unfortunately, Keynes’ unrealistic theories appealed to power-grabbing politicians, and we are much the poorer for it today.
    Another Keynesian notion is the so-called Thrift Paradox. This refers to the idea that what might be best for oneself, namely cutting back on spending and saving more during tough times, is bad for the economy overall.
    This one is dubious too. The proper way to deal with the economic problems today is to let them run their course, to let the economy adjust to the re-evaluation of the worth of securities and other goods and services, and find its equilibrium again (although equilibriums are always changing too). Say’s Law states that supply creates its own demand, or supply equals demand, i.e., you can only buy stuff with stuff you already have (or expect to have). An economy should be run by consumer demand, which means the value of goods and services should be decided by the free market, and not by government fiat that creates distortions that can only lead to a lower standard of living.
    There might be a sort of paradox between these two notions, however: (1) people trade to get stuff they want more by giving up stuff they want less, thereby improving their quality of life; (2) societies get richer by saving, which allows some people to invest time and money in ways of increasing productivity (such as by creating machines to do certain work to replace manual labour).
    Finally, the so-called Productivity Paradox. This one boils down to, “We governments invested all kinds of money into all kinds of activities, and still the economy is tanking”.
    The reason is: you forgot the most important economic engine, namely profit. You confused productivity with activity. Private economic activity is about producing goods and services, and about finding cheaper ways to make more stuff. This is where savings and profit comes from. Trade between individuals (and/or corporations) for mutual benefit means the corporation makes a profit in exchange for raising the individual’s standard of living. In other words, capitalism is a win-win situation. This misunderstanding of profit is one of the biggest mistakes that leftists make (not that they care much about reality or truth). If there had never been any profits, we would still be living in caves. These “investments” that spawned the alleged paradox might have been taxed from profitable businesses and donated to failing ones. Then it’s no wonder the economy is tanking, because the less productive are rewarded and the more productive are penalized.

  26. Roy Romanow, one of the four Liberal economic advisers, writing in today’s Toronto Star, says, “The roots of poverty are many and complex, and so too must be the solutions”.
    But the major root of poverty (by now) is lack of capitalism. Add to that physical or mental illness, poor decisions (like getting pregnant while young and single), and a few other things. Capitalism is a “raging torrent of progress” that enables such great productivity that people can overcome their mistakes or inherent disadvantages far more easily. Only when big government comes along and wrecks the economy through taxes and regulation do people have constant trouble that is hard to pull out of.

  28. Re CTV poll: (quote)
    In the midst of a coalition showdown, Canadians are deeply divided on whether the Conservatives deserve to stay in power, with 35 per cent saying the party should continue to govern and 40 per cent wanting change, according to an Angus Reid Strategies poll for CTV News.
    …when asked about their preferred solution if the government falls:
    Opposition coalition: 37 per cent
    Holding a federal election: 32 per cent
    No sure: 24 per cent
    Allowing the opposition to run by accord: 7 per cent
    ——————————
    It certainly is unraveling… for the Conservatives. And this despite all the freeping being done by the Harper Youth.

  29. “It certainly is unraveling… for the Conservatives. And this despite all the freeping being done by the Harper Youth.”
    Want to put a bet on it dipshit? Will you finally take your minority opinion and disappear when this goofy coalition gets it’s arse kicked?

  30. Shamrock: Like you, I also hope that Canadians put their little lives aside and go out and protest this Saturday. I’ve NEVER been to such a thing but definitely am going to the one in Vancouver.
    How many times in our lives … in fact, how many times in even 4 – 5 generations of our ancestors lives has anyone had an opportunity like this?
    Le Coalition has been adamantly counting on the complacency of Canadians. If we’re true to form then they win. If we’re not then we go to an election. They still may very well win but I can and will completely accept that verdict.
    Incidentally, here’s my letter to the GG.

  31. Minority opinion? As I recall, the Conservatives are the ones with a minority. The problem with Conservatives (and conservatives) is that they don’t know how to count and always think that they are the majority. Which is why all this silliness is going on in the HoC.
    Here’s another example of not knowing how to count:
    By THE CANADIAN PRESS
    OTTAWA — An attempt by Stephen Harper to wrap himself in the flag and take a dig at the opposition coalition fell flat Tuesday.
    The prime minister has been portraying the Liberal-NDP-Bloc Quebecois government-in-waiting as an unholy alliance of “socialists and separatists.”
    During question period, he suggested the opposition parties staged their pact-signing ceremony Monday without a Canadian flag in the background because of the separatist Bloc.
    “Yesterday, as part of the culmination of the machinations of the leader of the NDP, we had these three parties together, forming this agreement, signing a document and they wouldn’t even have the Canadian flag behind them,” he said.
    “They had to be photographed without it because a member of their coalition does not even believe in the country.”
    Video confirms that Harper was technically right. There wasn’t a Canadian flag in the background — there were two.

  32. Yes, minority opinion. I couldn’t give a rat’s ass what the Canadian press says, or any other press for that matter. You are the minority, 37 or so % who are retarded, dumb or basically shills.
    Your time has come and gone, get used to it idiot.

  33. Canada is going to hell in a handbasket and the MSM are certainly doing their best to grease the skids. To hear them talk it is like this coalition junta is a fait de complet (sp). Lizzy “Tank” May is already picking out her senate seat and media hacks are brushing up on the protocols of Senate nap time, if they are annointed.
    First point people are forgetting is that after a non confidence vote, it is the PM that goes to the GG to ask that parliament be disolved and an election called. It is then the GG’s perogative to ask, if she so chooses, that a coalition form the government, provided they have a majority of the seats.
    Second, and more importantly, it is the Lieberals and the Dippers who have formed a coalition with the Bloc saying only that they will support them. It is a case of put up or shut up. Supporting a coalition is not the same as being in one. It is like I support our troops but when they do a head count of Canada’s military, I’m not counted.
    These are trying times for conservative minded Canadians. If, for some strange reason, the trois amigos end up in power then the CPC are doomed. After being let down yet again, the west will be likely supporting a Reform Redux or western separatits.
    Colour me totally disillusioned.

    “I think that Layton and Dion won’t change, they’re federalists and I’m a sovereigntist,” Mr. Duceppe told reporters. “I think every gain we’re making here is good for Quebec, and what’s good for Quebec is good for a sovereign Quebec.” (g-m)

  36. The Separatist Coalition in the words of Citoyen Dion and communist Duceppe.
    …-
    “An angry Dion accused Harper of “lies” and said the coalition is good for national unity. “My fellow Quebecers who believe in separation are more likely to be reconciled with Canada if we work with them than if we marginalize them,” he said.
    One of the most raucous sessions in recent memory ended with a Tory chorus of O Canada in the government lobby. Minutes later, Duceppe was at the microphone saying he’ll continue to work in the best interests of sovereignty.
    “(NDP Leader Jack) Layton and Dion won’t change. They’re federalists and I’m a sovereigntist,” he said. “I think every gain we’re making here is good for Quebec, and what’s good for Quebec is good for a sovereign Quebec.””

  38. I’ve just sent this to the PM:
    Prime Minister
    In another font (below), I’ve copied my latest email to the Governor General, which includes my remarks to Stephane Dion and Jack Layton.
    ___________________
    Madame
    I have just sent the following message to Stephane Dion and Jack Layton:
    “Sirs
    “Your willingness to displace the duly elected government of this country by false pretexts and underhanded means is a huge stain on both your personal integrity and that of your parties.
    “That you would bribe the Bloq, a party whose raison d’etre is to destroy this country, as well as accord it the balance of power in your phony “coalition government” is traitorous.
    “You and your parties are going to pay a very heavy price for such skulduggery. Check out the rallies on Saturday—my husband and I will be at one of them—and see just how angry Canadians are at the deal you’ve made with the devil. Canadians will remember and the results for you and your parties will be decidedly ugly. (This couldn’t happen to a more deserving couple of opportunists.)”
    Madame, if you allow this travesty to occur, you will discredit both yourself and, more importantly, your high office.
    I appeal to you to put partisanship aside and to exercise your prerogative responsibly, by disallowing this thuggish overthrow of the duly elected government of Canada by two duplicitous political parties, which are willing to give veto power to a third political party, which is disloyal to the whole idea of a strong and prosperous Canada.
    _________________
    Watching M Dion’s undignified, spoiled brat meltdown on TV last night, in contrast to your statesmanlike demeanour, was a powerful reminder of why this power grab MUST NOT go forward. My husband and I will be at one of the rallies on Saturday and I’ll be sending in one of the petitions.
    You are in our thoughts and prayers at this remarkable time. Together, you, your supporters, and all Canadians who believe in justice, fair play, and democracy will turn the tide.

    “Religious rants spark terror scare
    Bizarre behaviour leads to evacuation: ‘9/11 has got people on edge’
    By BETH JOHNSTON, SUN MEDIA
    The Ottawa Sun
    OTTAWA — Office workers hid while colleagues fled out the front doors of a downtown office building yesterday morning when a man in a trench coat, waving a Koran and praying loudly, sparked a terror attack scare.
    Half a dozen office staff on the 13th floor of The National Building at 130 Slater St. huddled in a back office as the stranger stormed their office, swearing and shouting religious rants in Arabic just before 9 a.m.
    “Everybody felt threatened, he came in unannounced and wouldn’t leave. His mannerisms were cause for concern so we gave him a wide berth,” Vinci Park general manager Brent Robinson said.
    Robinson called 911 as he and five other frightened workers “stayed out of harm’s way” in the back office while the intruder read the Koran loudly in another office.”

  40. Angus Reid and other polling agencies cannot be viewed as in any way a valid representation of the will of the people.
    The reason for this are multiple: one reason is that their samples are ‘quota’ rather than purely random. Another is the biased nature of their quesions. I’ve studied a number of such polls and have been quite stunned by the semantics of the questions, which are both leading and biased.
    After all, we see absolutely contradictory results from the online polls now being carried out in such places as CTV, etc. These are equally unscientific but at least, the questions are usually short and simple and rarely able to be biased.
    The only valid measurement of the people is an election or referendum, which asks all people to express their choice. Anything else- any poll – is not the valid measurement.
    Therefore, lberia, you can inform us of the Angus Reid poll, but it is as empty and invalid as is most of your regular rhetoric.

  41. Could it be anymore obvious that MSM take their orders from the Liberals? First they gleefully supported the coalition until it became clear that the public was outraged. I suspect that the media and Liberal elite are furious that their plot line was once again rejected by the peasants. So on they move to their next flop- Get Harper. They sound nearly identical to the infamous Scott Reid’s disgraceful G&M “ki11 him” comment. Sometimes you have to be almost embarrassed for Liberal journalists, their ineptness is astounding. They are completely out of touch with regular Canadians.

  42. Canadian Labour Congress pumping out radio commercials in support of the coalition. Vladimir Illyich Layton has mobilized his comrades pretty quickly.

  43. (PDF warning) Michele Dunne, The Baby, the Bathwater, and the Freedom Agenda in the Middle East
    In reassessing how to secure U. S. interests while stabilizing the Middle East, the new U.S. administration might well decide to postpone or even repudiate democracy promotion. Democratic systems have hardly bloomed in the region since President George W. Bush announced a “forward strategy of freedom” during a speech commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the National Endowment for Democracy in November 2003. In fact, U.S. attention seems to have caused more problems than it solved, particularly in Iraq and Palestine. No one can guarantee that the United States can promote democracy in the Middle East without risking stability and critical interests, making it tempting to at least try to set aside the policy until clearer answers emerge, potentially under the guise of a policy review.
    Yet, the new U.S. administration will undoubtedly encounter early challenges and opportunities related to democratization, which Arabs themselves increasingly recognize as essential to solving their countries’ internal political, economic, and social problems…

  44. Yes, I agree with your comments re: Angus Reid methodology. But, given the coalition forces refuse to test their proposal with the electorate, what else can we go by. This is better than nothing.

  45. the old three stooges short is amazingly prophetic. picture layton as Moe.
    In You Nazty Spy, three cabinet members, Mr. Ixnay, Mr. Onay and Mr. Amscray (pig-latin for Nix, No and Scram), are discussing solutions to the economic woes of their Kingdom, Moronica. Since the King of Moronica wants peace, which is not economically profitable, the cabinet members plot his overthrow, institute a dictator and start a war. They find Moe Hailstone, who with his cronies, Larry and Curly, is busy wallpapering the dining room.
    They offer him the greatest opportunity of his life – to be a dictator. Pondering it, Moe runs his hand through his hair. Scratching under his nose, he accidentally attaches a piece of dark wallpaper that was stuck to his finger. The tape mustache makes him look like Hitler. When Moe asks what a dictator does, he’s told, “He makes speeches to the people promising them plenty, gives them nothing and takes everything.”
    Moronica gets a new flag – snakes entwined into the shape of a swastika, and a slogan, “Moronica for Morons.” There is talk of a beer hall putsch, Moe orders a book burning, and sends an innocent man to a “concentrated camp.” Moe plans the conquest of the country Starvania and assembles the famous Peace Conference of Oompola, arguing for a corridor through the country, Double Crossia. In the end, Moe plans to throw his country’s dissidents to the lions. Instead, the Three Stooges get eaten by the lions, and the film ends with a burping lion wearing the Reichsführer’s hat.

  46. With friends like these…
    Thomas Coghlan, German soldiers deemed ‘too fat to fight’
    First they were accused of not wanting to fight. Then they were blamed for failing in their main mission to train the Afghan police.
    Now Germany’s battered military reputation has received a further humiliating blow. According to official reports the 3,500 troops in northern Afghanistan drink too much and are too fat to fight…

  47. Well said, Concerned Canadian: my sentiments exactly!
    ET is spot on. I’m still on the Angus Reid mailing list but, after putting up with pages of leading–and misleading–questions, where I usually want to answer “None of the above”, I usually bail out. MY voice is nearly always missing from their gerrymandered polls.
    Here’s the link for the online petition against the illegitimate power grab of our traitorous left-wing parties: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/CANADIAN/
    My husband and I noticed a 500 signature jump in about two minutes. Canadians are NOT going to put up with this coup.

  48. “…when asked about their preferred solution if the government falls.”
    It’s already pretty obvious how this poll was skewed. The majority of Canadians would prefer the government didn’t fall. This poll won’t help Iggy decide whether to back off or not at all…
