…if these professors were confronted with a situation in which their favorite Party, the NDP, had won more than 140 seats in the House of Commons. Imagine if the NDP had double the seat total of the Conservatives. Imagine what would happen if the Conservatives had then gotten together with two other parties, one of them being an Alberta Only party and then perhaps the Christian Heritage Party, one that would be supporting Capital Punishment and Opposing Abortion. Imagine if the Conservative Party with their right of centre coalition partners including a party dedicated to the Independence of Alberta. Imagine if the Conservatives signed a document with these smaller parties and presented that to the Governor General and said, “We have ourselves a legitimate, constitutional, coalition of elected members who have lost confidence in the government led by Jack Layton. He must face the house. He must face defeat, and we must now come to you Governor General, your excellency and pick up the keys to a new government.”
Can you imagine the professors of our elite universities going on the National TV Newscasts, saying “This coalition is very much in keeping with Constitutional Values, Canadian values and there is no reason to go back to the polls. These coalition partners ought to be given a chance to make government work.”
If you can imagine the professors giving their intellectual and moral consent to that, then you can also imagine Pigs flying, Cows barking, and Cockroaches coming up with a cure for cancer. If you are willing to believe that the professors of this country would approve of a coalition of the right then you are willing to trade in your fine mind for a fine box labeled B.F.I. For the alphabetically homeless, that means a dumpster.
Coulda been Big F$@#%$ing Idiot. Works either way.
Imagine, imagine, imagine…..
Now folks imagine for a minute that conservatives actually had a moral compass. Imagine conservatives had compassion. You don’t have to imagine any more…a conservative majority would be a reality!
As a staunch PC/Conservative voter (I voter PC when Kim Campbell was the PM!) I think the Conservatives need a new leader. With the worst economic downturn happening what does the Harper government do? Play silly bugger politics with the subsidy. I don’t think I can support this party until Harper leaves. He’s acting like Herbert Hoover.
“As a staunch PC/Conservative voter (I voter PC when Kim Campbell was the PM!) I think the Conservatives need a new leader.”
Good call. Let’s replace our economist Prime Minister and his record of surpluses and low taxation with an unknown commodity. That is the smart thing to do during a crisis, and the markets will love it.
*GROAN*
In all honesty 🙂 as a longtime Liberal supporter, Harper only scares me because he is so good at winning elections and running the economy.
For standing up for taxpayers, Prime Minister Harper is expected to wear some of the ‘cake he baked’? Media seems to be to long off the farm, as everyone knows that when slopping hogs the most dangerous are the old sows and boars. The market pigs are young with no experience and will accept whats’ given albiet with lots of squealing but the old ones want it all and if not careful will knock the slop-pail right out of your hand and possibly attack. When the socialist/seperatist coalition had their snouts pulled from the trough they turned on the farmer(taxpayer)and attacked.Now that this feeding frenzy is over the ‘former’ breeders do not realizing they are now expendible and ready for market so away they will go, not to the home for aged swine but to the abbotoire for pet food. Trouble is not appreciated on the farm.
Very astute observation being that several heads of the coalition hydra are university elitists.
University professors continue to demonstrate on a very regular basis that possessing knowledge does not mean you can’t be very stupid.
So a government, faced with declining revenues, proposes a spending cut that will reduce their own party revenues by $10 million dollars making them and all of the other political parties directly accountable to their members/supporters for their financial viability is accused of playing “silly bugger politics” and the leader, who has provided the best economic environment in the G20, must resign because three seditious, petty grafters, who had been plotting this since the day after the last election, decided to attempt to undermine democratic traditions via an unholy coalition that 8 in 10 Canadians do not support?
Are you freaking kidding me? Give your head a shake. Harper is precisely the leader needed to run this country.
Jim in Ottawa – and I thought I was the only person to vote for Kim Campbell.
I agree that Harper has to go. No matter how you cut it and no matter about all the hype, Harper caused this whole thing unnecessarily. He is also creating tensions across Canada. It now looks like you have a Coalition with separatists from Quebec against the CPC full of separatists from the west – so you have both groups full of separatists – what a mess.
He is now going to spend a pile of loot that he has saved up to flim flam Canada. Then he is going to have to come out with a budget that is going to have to look like the Coalition budget ( because he threw away any chance for a conservative budget by being an a-hole) just to stay in power for a few more months.
Not only that, he has now given the Liberals the potential time and opportunity to get Dion to actually resign very soon and be replaced by another interim guy with leadership skills – which is going to screw up the Conservatives further. It was in their best interests to keep Dion around as long as possible.
The phrase you are looking for bob is,
Any relationship between education and intelligence is purely coincidental.
Jim in Ottawa.Get away from Ottawa.Or is it to late?What was the ONLY coutry in the G20 to post a gain in GDP during”this economic crisis” in October? Hint…starts with a CA and ends with A. 1.6%. Yes.Not exactly a stellar number,but it sure beat the hell out of the other 19!
Another reason the leftards/separtists want rid of Harper?
Oh. And greg…can we make it “Bloq Family Inside”??
Hmmmm
cconn = lberia?
Oh look! “Concern Trolls”!

Nope.Just a lefty pretending to be a righty.Oh wait.
I had a prof – heck everyone had this type of prof – who wore the same pair of pants every freakin’ day. As winter wore on the salt stains rose higher on the legs.
You could tell that he either went home, balled them up and threw them in the corner or wore them to bed. Not the sort of person I look to for an opinion on anything, let alone politics.
Yes. Stephen Harper must go. He has taken the conservatives (not PROGRESSIVE conservatives, but conservatives) into leading this country (with a minority mind you) and he has done it against a tide of socialism and left wing media. He has shown himself to be an astute leader and has always been 3 steps ahead of everyone else.
I heard that he knew ahead of time this was going to happen (the coalition) but thought it would be in the spring once the libs et al were better organized. By slipping his poison pill in to the economic update he forced it to happen earlier while the good ship liberal was still being helmed by Gilligan. Not sure how much truth there is to this, but it makes sense to me If this coalition had happened under Ignatieff 6 or 7 months after an election it might have had a little happier reception in the Canadian public. At any rate…after all this fooferaaw (sp?) the conservatives are sitting somewhere around 45% approval and 62% regarding the economy.
Yes. Stephen Harper must go. We should select a conservative that is more amicable and gets along better with the Liberals and Ndp and Peter Mansbridge, (what’s with the gay pinky finger?). Hell, we should just ask Jack Layton to pick the next CPC leader. Yes. Stephen Harper must go.
Idiots.
To cconn, sorry that your head injury has had permanent effect. The last thing that the country needs is to replace this successful Prime Minister. To have ‘leadership skills’ in same sentence as current crop of liebral leadership (hopefuls) is an oxymoron is it not?
The sad truth of this nation is that all you need to be a “constitutional expert” is a tenured university job and a left wing party membership…any actual legal understanding and knowledge of precedent are irrelevant in modern partisanism….all the talking heads on some partisan editor’s rollodex need is a handy excuse whey “our guy’s poop never stinks”.
Jim That follows the Nobama formulae right down to the 3 letter name. Ottawa is the place for you.
Has anyone else noticed the rise in the number of posts saying that the PM should step from down from “staunch/PC/Conservative voters” or other parsing of the phrase to try to lend some bon fides to their calls for Harper’s dismissal.
They all ring about as true as the “I am a student at a small midwestern university and I never thought that the stories in Forum were true until it happened to me”.
To me it smacks of astro-turfing so that the talking heads can claim that there is some grassroots groundswell (to mix a couple metaphors) and keep repeating the Coalition’s line that Harper is the problem at every opportunity.
So Jim, try to throw in a little bit of an arguemnt beyond “he’s playing politics” as if that’s not what the others are doing as well.
And besides, isn’t it sort of like complaining that Wings should get rid of Henrik Zetterberg for chasing Tomas Kaberle into the corner and coming out with the puck and generally playing too well and keeping the Leafs from the Cup.
Harper will stay of course, as he should. I love how posters who never post here regularly begin by identifying themselves as lifelong cons, and then move on to telling Harper to resign.
That said, Harper would be not the person we think he is, or the Prime Minister we want him to be, if he did not learn something from this crisis.
We are basking on the cusp of a small victory in the longer battle. But, the real shit has not really started to flow in terms of unemployment and deficits. Look at today’s number and remember, the market leads the economy by 6-12 months, and the market is still going down! Remember also that we had 10% unemployment in Kim Campbell’s time.
Harper has to be seen as proactive, caring and engaged, or this 46% support will seem like the wisp of a dream in just a few months.
History shows that prolonged hard times practically always lead to a change in government.
If Harper helps the Liberals by forcing them to get rid of Dion early, would that not be good for them? If PMSH caused all this termoil is it not good for the oppositin? If PMSH is such a liar and cheat and ,heaven forbid,a bully,as the opposition claim,why would the want a different leader? Seems he should be easy to defeat.
Can’t see the cockeyed thinking that would deduct that Harper has to go. Just when the Conservatives get up and running and are getting stronger people calling for the head of the person who got them there makes no sense.
Harper is a straight arrow, capable of running the affairs of the country, that’s his job, it’s not necessary that everyone love his personality.
Liberals can lie and steal to keep power. Conservatives have to be PERFECT in every way.
From the very beginning the Liberals have had a hatred of this man for no reason other than he’s from Alberta and Conservative. The slagging continues out of jealousy and hate. Hate is proving the undoing of the Opposition.
The Liberals are not going to have their act together for some time, their divisions are close to lethal. That’s evident with the various MP’s coming out spouting differing views and going off on inane rants against the Conservatives. Nothing of substance there.
Any actual intelligence left at Canadian universities is most likely to be found in the Engineering department.
As a physical therapist, I can assure you it won’t be found in the medical school. Intelligence in medical professionals comes only after they get out of school, and the old geezers who run residency programs start slapping some sense into them. Said geezers have been working in the wonderful single payer system for 20 years, they’ve had all the socialism pretty much burned out of them with a hot poker.
Inside the medical school, all is wonderful touchy-feelyness and the issue of cost is never raised. (Really!) Your average 4th year medical student has never been told how much those tests he orders actually cost. If it cost two million to save the 95 year old vegetative grandma, that’s ok. In residency he learns the tests are available but grandma will be looooong dead before she gets to the head of the waiting list. But he still doesn’t know how much the test costs.
In engineering school they learn how much concrete costs per cubic yard, and that less is better than more. But not too much less.
I believe this is because when an engineer gets something wrong there’s a bunch of money involved. A large expensive structure -falls down-. This is very hard to spin or cover up. So they have to teach the kids how to do it right the first time, and not wander off into “social justice” or other such damn foolishness. Social justice ain’t going to keep that bridge up.
Imagine now political “science” or law, where you don’t even have to worry about people dying if you screw up. Castles in the clouds anyone?

Bwahahahahahaha. ROTFLMAO. That HAS to rank as the number UNO comment so far this year!!!
Some professors are interesting and can keep their biases in check. They are usually older gentlemen who grew up in a more graceful age. Maintaining integrity and credibility was more than just nice sounding words.
I just assume that every baby boomer and younger university “expert” is somewhere between blush pink to flaming red. They say whatever advances their profressive agenda no matter how lacking in common sense. As Adler points out they are completely inconsistent.
BTW, This fiasco should continue to be a wake-up call for the west. The premiers must prepare the infrastructure of the western provinces to withstand the next political assault. Set up finances and agreements that would make independence easier should events come to that. As the saying goes “Better to have and not need than need and not have”. It is naive to continue to think that the federal (aka.Quebec) politicians will not sell out our interests in a heartbeat.

“the worst economic downturn happening”
The current unemployment rate of slightly over 6% is half what it was in the early 90’s of 12%. The economy actually grew by 1.3% over the last quarter. According to the IMF,the G7, and the G20, Canada is in one of the best economic positions of any country in the world, and Canada’s banking system is one of the most stable in the world.
Herbert Hoover(according to Wikipedia):
a)the great depression started in the first year of his presidency 1929
b)promoted government intervention under the rubric “economic modernization”
c)deeply believed in the Efficiency Movement (a major component of the Progressive Era), arguing that a technical solution existed for every social and economic problem
d)tried to combat the Depression with volunteer efforts and government action, none of which produced economic recovery during his term
This sounds more like Layton and Dion, not Harper.
Harper was right on wanting to get rid of ALL political parties receiving dollars/vote from the taxpayers, which by the way, the CPC would be the biggest loser of funds at 10 million, the BQ, a separatist party covers 80% of their expenses from the taxpayer. Harper has to stay.
If he were able to accomplish this, the worst economic downturn would happen to the opposition parties.
The CAW signed an agreement earlier this year to keep an auto plant open in Ontario, manufacturing “Camaro’s”(which nobody buys)
Jack Layton’s biggest concern is keeping people working just for the sake of saying they have a job.
If Jack was a real sharpshooter, he could kill two deer with one shot.
By reopening all the wooden horse buggy factories in Ontario, and importing all the wood required from Quebec, he could keep Upper and Lower Canada busy for years to come. Jack could oversee the buggy factories, Gilles could oversee the tree cutting(I’ve heard as trees get older they actually give off carbon dioxide), And Dion,,,well I guess he would be best suited to occupy an ivory tower somewhere in dreamland watching over all his domain. Then the rest of us could get on with reality.
100% of Canadians did NOT vote for a coalition government.
The Ontario NDP and Libs used to complain up and down that Mike Harris wasn’t like Bill Davis, a Red Tory who was much more to their liking.
I feel that anyone who can instill the kind of derangement in the ranks of the Dippers, Libs, and Globe & Mail readers, as Harper has done, must stay.
The Three Stooges (appologies to Larry, Moe & Curly) and their supporters whine about PM Harper being mean and not Miss Congeniality, yet forget about the tough and arrogant PET and Crouton.
They say he has no economic plan even after the PM explains what the government is doing and plans on doing (with consultation of the provinces and opposition in fact) and yet the only thing I’ve heard was 30million or billion from somewhere going somewhere to stimulate the economy.
They all wring their collective hands about the terrible recession we are in while ignoring our GDP actually was positive in October and better off than most of the G20 during this world economic crisis.
The Trois Amigos and their media fan club are acting like the coalition has enough seats to overthrow the CPC while in fact that it is technically a Lib-Dip coalition with the separatist only promising to play nice.
The coalition crowd say Harper should step down because he is not fit to lead during a crisis but offer up someone who led his party to a worse standing after the election than they were before and is stepping down in a few months anyhow.
Does any of this make sense to anyone out there because it sure as hell doesn’t make sense to me.
This coalition is clearly the work of the NDP. In fact, the NDP have a long history of siding with any group that may help them gain power. In the 1930’s the CCF/NDP Demigod Tommy Douglas drew major support from the KKK here on the prairies. Not even Lorne Clavert can deny that Tommy’s campaign manager in 1935 was Daniel Grant, a Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in the Weyburn area. When Tommy did get to Parliament he voted against the bilingual currency bill of 1936 for the specific reason of appeasing his Klan supporters.
One more reason the NDP do not want anyone looking into their past.
not stirred:
The Conservatives actually are the only party WITH compassion and a moral compass.
The other three claim morals, but of course their idea of a moral compass is to slaughter innocent babies, rape our wallets and treasury to dole it out to their pet causes and friends in University research- most of which is dubious at best.
And maybe even the “green” party which is probably the worst excuse for an economic rapage in the history of Canada. They would happily DESTROY the economy in a desperate attempt to live up to a “Global Warming” er um “Climate Change” hystocrisy that cannot even prove it’s own facts are correct, and are shown year after year to be so. Oh ya remember the recent October being the hottest on record- up 10% ? Ya well that was an oops where they “DEPEND ON” Russian statistics for 1/4 of their data, and they themselves claim they have no ability to verify the statistics. Ya the science is in and the debate is over… for sure.
There is only an economic downturn for those that work for unions, and for you I have sympathy, you were not motivated enough to run your own businesses, too bad. People who do good work, even now are so busy they cannot be hired for monthes, fact is union people are the first to go without work in slower times because they are usually lazy and wait for government bailouts for their lazyness.
So tell us Jim, are you going to support the coalition in the meantime? Will that make things better for the country?
Leftists love the elite intellectuals — they look at them as saviours…some of my colleagues gush over Obama’s intellectual abilities…when I mention to them he’s made numerous verbal gaffes (57 States?) they are more than happy to give him a pass (“Ah, he was joking probably”). If a conservative does a similar thing, they’re dumb, stupid, should resign etc.
Harper is the right man for the job — period. He demolished all the leaders in the debates, and has shown himself far more tactically savvy than Dion and Co.
“I voted for Kim Campbell.” Nothing more needs to be said (SHE LED THE PARTY TO A LANDSLIDE DEFEAT, WINNING TWO SEATS!!).
This from the coalition manifesto,” Both parties are committed to restoring the integrity, transparency and efficiency of the appointments process in the Public Service and in federal bodies like the Supreme Court, the Senate and Commissions like the CRTC.”
I guess this is where the professors come in.
If harper turns down the request for “bailout money” he’ll have my vote for the next election.
Adler hit the nail on the head again—He`s had a good week. Now I am not nearly as smart as those book-educated folks we see on TV but I am pretty good with numbers.
The Conservatives have 143 seats—If the Liberals had 130 seats and the NDP had 35 seats and the Liberals had an up and coming charismatic leader, and the Conservatives were a tired old gov`t screwing up the economy then I would look at a coalition gov`t.
But to take a weak Liberal leader with 76 seats and add 36 seats of NDP to make a coalition to overthrow a party with 143 seats—well, that doesn`t make sense, and I did tell you I was good with numbers. Toss in socialism, separtism, and recession and you can see why the poll numbers are where they are today.
Let’s face it. What we are really dealing with here is a leader with 30-odd seats (Jack Layton) who wants to be the de-facto leader of this country. Stephane would be “leader” in name only of this group. We all know Jack is wearing the pants in that coalition.
If that isn’t shameful, then I don’t know what is. And that certainly is not democratic.
All of this Harper must go because he caused the problem rather lets the other three off the hook. Their excuse is that Harper made them do it. Give me a break! Layton and Duceppe had this in mind weeks if not months before the economic update knowing that Dion, in his anger at Harper and in denial of his own problems, would grab the bait at the right moment. The right moment was when the Liberals realised that their access to public funds was in jeapordy and that they would get little if any funds directly from their supporters.
I can imagine the outrage of such elitist tyrants, all right: I’m a conservative Christian with traditional values—like, it’s a good idea for a man and a woman to be married before having kids (e.g., the statistics show that marriage is usually the safest, most secure place for women and their children by their husbands)—and over the past, nearly three, post-Charter decades, I and many others, who aren’t Christian, have had our rights and freedoms severely curtailed in this “free dominion”. These dangerous hypocrites have incubated and disseminated a repressive creed: watch out, anyone who doesn’t march in lock step to their “freedom only for us” ideology.
These two-faced idiots, who support all kinds of university “speech codes” (one-sided censorship and re-education), workplace “equity” policies (one-sided censorship, re-education, fines, possible job loss), human rights (sic) commissions (one-sided censorship, severe loss of due process rights for selected citizens), the use of the Charter and activist judges to end-run Parliament in order to effect a social revolution, on a massive scale, that Canadians would never vote for . . . the list goes on.
As a person who’s been on the receiving end of these bullies’ master plan for people like me—shut up (generally, in public, I do now—some freedom) or be persecuted—I fully understand both their sheer nastiness and their “stop at nothing to win” mentality. Up until very recently, they’ve rigged the public game so that they always win, they take all the spoils (our public institutions and taxpayer money), and they use the power of the state to punish their enemies. They have turned our society into a gulag, where only certain ideas are allowed freedom in the public square: those who don’t comply are severely punished. And what happens if these bullies—for they, not their opponents, are the true bullies—aren’t winning? They change and gerrymander the rules.
The planned coup (which I remember being discussed publicly BEFORE the election—my blood turned to ice) was supposed to return power to these moral and intellectual pygmies. As we have seen, in the universe they inhabit, inversion of the truth is the order of the day.
The bully? Stephen Harper, of course. I cheered when he didn’t apologize to the three snakes: didn’t the majority of Canadians SUPPORT the funding cut that political parties, via Don (as in Mafia) Chretien had extorted from our pockets?
The victim? Quebec, of course (cry me a river): not the RoC or the West.
The list of lies goes on and on, all of it aided and abetted by our duplicitous MSM, e.g., on CTV, NOT ONE Conservative was interviewed until nearly two hours after PMSH spoke: the parade of propagandists was all on the left: my blood boiled! It’s actually a miracle that so many Canadians are still able to discern the truth when, year in, year out, their sensibilities and brains are bludgeoned by the insidious lies of the left.
Me? I’m still a fan of PMSH. He may not be perfect, but he’s head and shoulders above the bloodthirsty pack, which has been savaging him mercilessly for years: a lesser man would have folded by now. In recognition of his steady hand on the tiller of state—when he’s able to distance himself from the bawling toddlers in the parliamentary sandbox—I sincerely hope that the Stephen Harper’s “best before date” is a long way off.
And it appears Bob Rae (an NDP Liberal) is taking the job of selling this abomination across the country, according to Jane Taber. Meanwhile, Iggy (further to the right) is having a think. The Liberals are slowly being taken over by the NDP and Jack wants to be their leader.
Calling for Harper to resign is an opposition tactic. They find teh flimsiest of excuses and feint adrenal failure and strokes in order to force the minister in charge to resign. Thus calling for the PM to step down with all of the facts having yet to be revealed is assinine.
How do we know there were NO CONSULTATIONS?
Can we believe any of the other parties if they were from DAY ONE intent on bringing down the government no matter what?
Can we believe that any one of them were ever acting in good faith- yet demand that the CPC does?
Can we trust that ANY proposal was rejected in compromise? Maybe Harper had these discussions and was met with absolute insolence at any and all of them.
What are you to do when faced with a situation like that?
I know what I’d do- I’d force the bastiches out in the open and expose them for the liars they are. It seems to have worked.
Therefore being a lack of faith exhibited by the opposition there was never an option to rescue anything- it was destined to fail on account of the same opposition. They were intent on bringing down the government come Hell or High Water.
What would you do? Give them EVERYTHING and smash your MORAL COMPASS to give in to the extortionists? Doing that would render him and his party to the dreg levels of the BLOC/ND/LIB who obviously have none of that.
Harper did the exact right thing and MUST STAY! He is the ONLY leader with the cajones to actually LEAD with morals and compassion.
Typo: in my 9:53 post, remove “the” before PMSH’s name in the last paragraph!
“imagine if conservatives had compassion”
Stalin deeply cared about his country. He knew better than the people how best to allocate resources. In his benevolence, he collectivised the farms of Ukraine, to give his countrymen the utopia he thought they deserved.
(flash forward to 2007)
Dion, the professor, deeply cares about the planet. He knows better than us, and therefore we should submit our free market (and free wills) to government controls on large swaths of our economy. To save us. To save us all from the firey inferno of Global Warming.
My dear progressive friend,
the road to hell was paved with good intentions.
JohnBoy:
You are dead on. Harper would not have done what he did without thinking it through thoroughly.
He flushed out the coalition at a much earlier time than when the Coalition of the Swilling would have liked. I can’t believe though that even he would have predicted that the coalition would have been headed up Dion.
Throwing in the elimination of the $1.95/vote subsidy absolutely forced the LPC to react. I don’t think it would have been as much of a poison pill for the NDP, so he threw in the public union issue as well to force their hand. And Duceppe would jump on board for anything that gets more for Quebec.
I don’t think this all went as smoothly as he would have hoped, but I think the end result will be great.
lynnh:**I just assume that every baby boomer and younger university “expert” is somewhere between blush pink to flaming red.**
What a sweeping assumption. The leading edge of the baby boomers are now 61 years old. As well, a huge number of what many call baby boomers had their cultural gut-level values instilled during the 1950s and early 1960s, when socialism was still a dirty word to many.
From the poll numbers it appears to me as though the Canadian public sees right through thebuck-ninety-five crowd.
So in a time of economic downturn(I refuse to beleive it is a crisis in Canada)the government moves to save 30 million by scrapping the election money. Proponents say good as this will help to curtail the Bloc as well while opponents say its ONLY 30 million. My question is how high does the dollar figure have to go before it becomes serious-a billion, 5 billion, 10 billion?
The opposition, cut off from the public tit, rebel. Meanwhile the PM, realizing he has stirring up a hornets nest, moves to reverse the cuts. But the 3 stooges, lusting for power and spurred on by the media create a full flegged political crisis.
Someone please remind me again how Harper is at fault in all this?
Horny Toad
I think we can take it as read that -actual- CPC supporters think Harper is doing what he’s supposed to do. That being advance conservative principles forward into the sh1tstorm of socialist politics and outright corruption that has infested this country.
I think it ROCKS that Stevie tried to strip the Reds of their government stipend. I think it ROCKS that he cut taxes and I want him to do it more. I think it ROCKS that he talked the GG into shutting down the Three Stooges and their disgusting coup attempt.
More and faster, please. Gun registry and the CHRC next, and if there’s going to be any economic “stimulus” going on, let it be by way of TAX CUTS!!! And God forbid the CPC should repeal some of the more idiotic and expensive regulations on businesses and employees.
And Iberia/ccon/Jim/whatever, I’m writing letters to my MP and to Stevie telling him so today, just to p1ss you off. Come January and the election (if Dion shows up with a pair anyway) I will be giving Stevie MONEY, actual dollars out of my personal stash my friends, to KEEP DOING IT. More and faster. If that alarms you, so much the better.
F- the lot of you and the horse you rode in on.
Anyone that A.) Voted for Kim Cambell and B.) Thinks Harper has to go. Just isn’t paying attention. Harper is playing Chess while his opponents are playing Tag.
It occurred to me this morning, that in fact, the coalition of Liberal Party delegates was what led Stephane Dion to be Liberal Party Leader…Ignatieff and Rae were front-runners in the Liberal Leadership race. Stephane Dion’s, Gerard Kennedy’s and Martha Hall Findley’s supporters all coalesced and gave power to Stephane Dion.
How stable is that coalition today?
