Go Harper.

Gilles Duceppe self proclaim and card carrying member of the comunist party before joining the bloc

Jack Layton and the ndp ...would you really want them governing and ruling? This is just shocking... you don't really hear this manifesto talked about much:
http://www.connexions.org/CxLibrary/Docs/CX5372-WaffleManifesto.htm

NDP's are blatant socialists. Hmm, what does the dictionary define as socialism :
"1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles

Someone else's definition of a socialist.....
"An individual or group that often denies that socialism is the intermediate step to communism. They go to great lengths to paint their Marxist agenda in terms on humanitarianism. By proposing "free" health-care for all, they deliberately deny the fact that one must pay a provider of medical services (usually through confiscatory taxes) or by conscripting doctors into being servants of the state. Further they deny that social monetary redistribution programs are take from the rich and give to the "needy" are programs based on Marxist dogma. In practice they rely on "progressive" tax structures to take larger and larger percentages from harder working and more motivated earners."

Hey, if you feel you're not paying enough taxes; if you enjoy being pick-pocketed; if you really like the idea of more government control in your life - your job, your salary, your property, your freedoms; and if you love the idea that politicians that didn't get voted into power can just overthrow the rightly elected government AND you don't get to have a say in any of it.... then HEY this coalition is a good move for Canada! All of our communist friends will love us!

AND.... if that's not inspiring enough, the socialist-separatist Bloc party -who is intent on destroying Canada would really like to govern us too. What a good idea! I feel so patriotic, don't you?

But if you're thinking that a communist Canada isn't a spectacular idea, it's a good idea to write a letter to as many newspapers and MP's as possible..... and even the Governor General herself - the one who has the ultimate say in whether we get to go to the polls or not.
There isn't much time. Put the pressure on... we can't let them get away with this.

The good news in all of this is that perhaps us Canadians will wake up and smell the steaming pile of crap... the very corruption that many have been faithful to support and vote for all this time.
Now, these parties and their leaders are showing their true colors - that greed and power is the motive at hand under the guise of "Canada's best interests".

2 leaders with communist background and 1 who doesnt even have his own parties support. Come on people wake up!!! We cant let these fools take away our basic democratic freedoms.
If the Conservatives fall...SEND IT TO THE POLLS... the people will show that they wont sit by and do nothing, while some egomanical idiots try and seize what isnt rightfully thiers...  

Why did I go to a lot of trouble to vote if my choice was going to be ignored? The voters clearly chose Stephen Harper - even increased his support over the other inadequate candidates. In the future, I think we should all refuse to vote - it doesn't seem to really make a difference in this 3rd world catastrophic political scene that we find ourselves in. Oh my goodness - what lengths Dion will go to to get himself in power, if only for his last short days in the limelight.
 

I certainly did not vote for Harper and with only getting 37% of the vote, one can hardly say that he is the choice of the people.

True, we have 4 political leaders who are '0''s, but hey - let's go coalition, bring it on!  

Wow...I don't know what is more ridiculous: the nonsensical, poor loser rants of Celestialruin and Angry Voter or the pathetic whining of Steven Harper as he tries to cling to power.
I'm pretty sure I'm wasting my breath here but I'll try once more to spell out the reality of our recent election and the current situation so even the intellectually challenged can understand:

1) As Harper and the Cons didn't win a majority of the seats in the recent election, they can only govern if they can convince MPs from other parties to support them.
2) As the Liberals, NDP and the Bloc MPs have all decided to work together AND they represent a majority in Parliament AND they choose not to support the Cons, then they have the right to take over the PMO and run the government without an election if the GG grants her approval.

Given that Con voters don't seem to be able to grasp the basics of parliamentary procedure or the realities of the current situation I can only conclude that the people they voted for have equally deficient levels of intelligence and should not, under any circumstances, be allowed to govern. Of course one need only observe the severely limited skills of John Baird, Gordon O'Connor, Peter MacKay, Stockwell Day, Peter Van Loan, Jim Flaherty or Tony Clement and others to determine that this group shouldn't even be running a hamlet in West Butcrack, never mind one of the planets' top ten economies.
Harper may be a few sandwiches short of a picnic in the emotional intelligence department but his cookies are fairly sharp in the parliamentary knife fight arena so why do you think he has micro managed virtually every aspect of his tenure in government and, with few exceptions, won't let his MPs ever speak to the media? Could it be that he knows they will invariably say something stupid if given the chance?  

The Conservatives took 37.63 percent of the vote in the October election (and, strangely, 48 percent of the seats). That means over 60 percent of Canadians who voted did not vote for the Conservatives' agenda (which wasn't even released in time for 1.5 million advanced voters to read). If nothing else, this coalition is the best possible representation of the opinion of the majority of voters. Heaven forbid the non-Conservative MP I voted for might actually participate in government.

I am shocked at how cowardly Stephen Harper is, essentially hiding behind the Governor-General instead of taking his political lumps like he should. It seems to me that Harper is far too concerned with his political future than he is with the future of Canada. By proroguing Parliament till January, he has completely hampered the government's ability to act for six weeks. In the light of the recession, wouldn't it be better for Canadians to have the people they elected doing something about the impending crisis?

If he was a true leader, he would work with ALL the MPs in Ottawa—not just those in his party—in order to address the immediate economic issues. Instead he's going to lick his wounds, regroup, and desperately figure out a way to sell himself and his party to that 62.37 percent of voters who didn't want him in office in the first place. Yep, that's definitely the type of person I want as the head of my country.
