Harper is a moron. Quebec separation isn't on the table; it's not popular in Quebec anymore, and the Bloc won't be in a position to push it forward in the coalition.
Well I guess Harper isn't a moron, he just thinks everyone else is and wants to distract everyone with lies.
- separation is more popular than it seems. I can tell you.benfal99

Harper claimed there were no Canadian flags around the members of the coalition when they were revealing their decision about their unity, probably because one member (Duceppe) doesn't believe that Canada should be unified. Video evidence proves there were two. haha

Ignatieff is a smart dude. it made me sick to see him getting flamed for his comments on torture a while back. I thought they were taken out of context, but that's just me, I guess.
I'd like to see Dion forced out early and have Ignatieff take the helm. Seems to me he's a straight talking no bullshit kind of guy.

Oh hey, the Canadian Politics thread is back. Mods don't lock this one like you locked mine, okays?
In 2004 Harper approached the GG with a Con-Bloc coalition plan, proving he's a hypocrite and has no idea what the 'demo' part of 'democracy' means.

during harper's previous government he made almost every issue a non-confidence vote. (meaninig if shot down, elections are automatically declared) and because the liberals were unorganised they were pretty much forced to vote in favour.
this is a shady political tactic to pretty much do what you want while in a minority government.
and then harper blamed the liberals and the minority for the government being inneficiant and calls an election by himself out of the blue. (read: wants a majority) but because of the genius of the electoral system and the voters themselves, they refused to give this intelligent man full power with a majority.... again.
so harper tries the same tactic again. try to do what he wants. make it extremely right winged so the opposition parties cry fowl. he points at them and says : "see! they slow the process down" and then cuts back on the harcore right wing stuff he knew wouldnt pass to get what he really wanted to go through. but this time the opposition party said enough. screw you and your 80s hair cut.

I look forward to what will happen in the next few days, on december 8 it is opposition day at the parlement

They don't want an election - we just had one. They want power and Harper has given them a reason to grab it. Some would say he has forced them to do it.
- ETM0
Why is this even needed? The Conservatives have a minority... can the other parties simply not vote the bill / budget down?
- sikma0
I agree with you ETM. The Liberals are risking everything they have here.
But Harper left them no choice. This is HIS doing. Cutting the funding of the opposition will be know as his worst moment.
