Putsch in Ottawa

[agriman]

Doesn't anybody get it? This is an illegitimate takeover of the government by politicians who were not elected to govern. We will soon know what it is like to live in a country where a popularly-elected government has been usurped by cunning, scheming, self-serving, maniacal politicians. If the NDP-Liberal-Bloc axis was planning a coalition it should have said so during the campaign. Besides the balance of power being held by a party which exists to destroy the country, this illegal and crooked alliance will shut western Canada out of federal government politics for as long as it lasts. The left-wing media think this is all normal. Canadians should be getting ready to mount the battlements. Instead, sheep-like, they are not even curious.

What exactly do the NDP think they can do for the economy that is better. They are all talk, they will do nothing for pension security. Throwing money too early at failing businesses that do not have clear plans to survive the recesion
will be a poison pill in itself when workers find their pensions drop even further.

More power to the Liberal/NDP/Bloc in their answer to Harper's mean spirited governance. If they succeed, Harper will be totally responsible for the debacle. The man can't help being a jerk and is receiving some bad advice from his team. The way that he is behaving is so like that of his hero...Mulroney, and we all know how tricky he was (is).

If i could have one wish it would be to give every politician a standardized iq test and then have the results published.

[agriman]

There are worse things and people than Harper, and for that matter Mulroney. Both are babes in the woods when it comes to arrogance: Layton is Canada's champion, sneering and smirking as he gets set to screw the people who make this country work. You have to pick from the candidates the parties present. But when the people make their choice and their will is overturned by a small gang acting in their own self-interest at public expense, that is going too far. The hell of it is that the country is so meek about it. By the way, you can kiss Wherat Board reform goodbye if this goes through. Politicians who can seize the highest offices of the land while ignoring expressed wishes of voting citizens are not going to be much interesed in CWB director election results if they do not coincide with left-wing central-planning ideology. Only in Canada.

The Harpster created this mess. Let him try to squirm, slime, his way out of it. Don't try to give him any help. He doesn't want it anyway. He's a one man show, always has been, always will be. If in doubt, give RALPH a call, he is a political genius that'll help, after all he knows how to run Albertie!

Who will lead the coalition - will be a liberal but Dion or one of the hopefulls? What will they do? I suspect the only place they will find agreement among the 3 amigos is in spending money.

One of the predictions out there is:

Prime Minister -Stephane Dion
Finance Minister -Jack Layton
Foreign Affairs -Gilles Duceppe
