If it wasn't right, it'd be illegal now wouldn't it?



It is widely accepted that most shot the Liberals down because of two things:

1 - The Green Shift
2 - Dion

1 - The Green Shift was trashed ever since the election and the majority (if not all) the party said the plan is now a dead issue and will never be brought back up for a long time, if ever.

2 - Dion is being replaced by Iggy, so he's no longer an issue..... he never was an issue because he was going to be replaced anyways.



A Coalition occurs in many other countries around the world quite often and has occured in our country in the past as well.... just because it isn't the norm and something some are not used to, doesn't mean it is wrong.

And when the Conservatives can't manage the government like the last couple of years and just as this one was starting out as, then there is a problem with the "Norm"

And when you have every other political party which represents the rest of the nation agreeing on how to form together in a co-operative fashion and hold more support and faith in one another, opposing the Conservatives...... that's saying something pretty obvious..... Harper and the Conservatives do not have any confidence of the government or the majority of the population who didn't vote for him.

A coalition is justified.

And don't worry, if the tables were turned around and the Conservatives were going to lead a coalition, my position wouldn't change on this, because they would still be working with other parties and therefore more of the population being represented, just like in the current situation with the NDP/Liberals.



Not wrong if you already know Harper will just continue to pull these stunts through this entire term. He'll play nice and do what the other parties want this time around, but just like all the other times in the past, he'll go right back to the same mentality of "My way or the highway" and stirr the crap up again..... it doesn't matter if Dion is there or not, the reactions would still be the same.

There is no confidence, there is no trust, therefore the government will fall again.

And the thing I will never get past is Harper going right on camera to the public and out-right lying to everyone on mutiple occasions..... once again, no trust, therefore no confidence.

Remove Harper or Remove the Conservatives.
Thanks for your response to my post and your support for my arguments. As you said the liberals lost the election mainly due to Dion (and his green shift). If parliment had not been prorogued the government would have fallen and Dion would have been PM. Its hard to believe that the soundly rejected Dion was the right man for PM (and a lame Duck PM an all around wuss). Since the election was voters saying loud and clear that they did not want dion and the party was in the process of replacing him it is clear prorogation was the correct course of action.

The government has been put on notice. Iggy is now in control of the Liberals (as he should have been instead of Dion). The government has time to plan the BIG SPEND to get us back on track (to deficit). The consevatives may still lose their grip on power. So be it.
