""I'm told that (Bloc Quebecois Leader) Gilles Duceppe ran into Mr. Dion in the elevator and asked 'What the hell happened?' and Mr. Dion said, 'We're not used to being in opposition," Fife said. "

ugg....DION.. GET THIS STRAIGHT... no GREENS were elected... SEVERAL Liberals lost thier seat because of your GREENSHIFT....Can you please understand that this means CANADIANS dont want to buy your GREENSHIFT.. any chance you can listen and stop focusing on it?

sheesh.. these stooges really should have went with Layton as thier leader.. he his hands over fist a better leader and speaker then Dion ever will be.
And Laytons speech was live for gods sake!

here is an idea.... Libs, NDPs, Bloc... and conservatives too... are you willing to be this to a secret vote... where each MP visits the GG on thier own and thier vote is told to no one?
My bet would be most of those parties would say no...

how comethe bloc is forgetting who brought in legislation confirming they are a distinct nation?

LOL.. the chief of staff...
I am LIVID that this happened....dude,, you are the chief of staff...lets help you with this..I know where the person responsible is..
Go into an empty room.. see anyone else? hmmm.. well I know the person responsible is in there... still dont see anyone? guess what.. ITS YOU... fricken hell do you not understand what a chief of staff is responsible for?
okay dont ranting for tonight

maybe

Curious Pav, you sound like you fully agree with the CTV analysis of tonight's events...

Somewhat yes he has kissed (Stephen) himself to netherland in Quebec for good no matter what he gives them now . This was a time to paint yourself as the underdog and get people on your side he was very poorly handled . This is why I really do not believe in the system the way it is we in the west are not as important as the east , never have been never will be .

I learned this in the Days of working on Lloyds campaigns and the elections that followed . So once I was a good Liberal but that is gone and no one has proven worth my time since.

I just this moment heard an ad (from a coalition support group/union) supporting the coalition. The thing I find astounding is these groups ranting that the government has not got the job done. This government was just elected in October. Additionally they've not yet announced their 2009 budget (plan) and they are being labeled as "not getting the job done".

This ad in particular suggested the government has done nothing to protect jobs. Short of throwing tens of billions of dollars at "some industries" and "infrastructure" (which was done I understand) what more can be done?

The Bank of Canada is independent no?
The price of oil is beyond his circle of influence no?
The housing market has been super-heated for so long now is there really any hope of extending that?
Is there any guarantee that the Big Three will be any more solvent were Canada to throw billions there?
Do Canadian banks need rescuing?

So what can be done? I say cooler and saner heads need to prevail to allow Canada to ride out the storm. A coalition propped up by the Bloc simply cannot "save" Canada.

I wouldn't go by Freep polls...that paper is a lefty newspaper...

About the only things that the Liberals can organize is phone calls to newspapers...it only takes a few people to make a lot of stink. No biggy imo.

well we know the liberals cant even organize a TAPED interview of thier leader when everyone else is going LIVE.
just goes to show... how will this work with that ninny as a PM... hmmm Nucl..Nusle, NuKlear missiles headed our way? Let me think about this and get back to you sometime next week.

anyone else getting sick of this... well if Harper would resign crap?

It is funny how all the talking-heads are so expert in their own minds but usually are so full of crap.
The GG will prorogue parliament later this morning imho, and the coalition will fall apart before Christmas.

I have talked to several NDPers that helped in two different campaigns this passed one. They all said the same thing.. if this goes to election, they WONT be helping out in the next campaign and WONT be voting either.
heh.. and no FT... you dont know these ones.
me thinks the coalition members need to actually talk to some of thier people, instead of just assuming they know what the people want.

Like everything that has come out of the Liberals since Dion took over, this "coup/coalition" has not been well thought out. It looks like it was written on the back of an envelope on the way to court.

The amateur Dion is full of Hot Air eh? I heard a radio report this morning that suggested Dion's taping crew were students. Further, when Duceppe challenged Dion on his performance Dion responded "he was not used to being in opposition".

Ooohhh, scary boys and girls.

see posts above.. (from ym mad ranting in teh middle of the night)

Parliament has be prorogued.

A non confidence vote in January will result in an election. YAY.

Actually, i Like this. The Conservatives now have some time to see what will happen in the USA. Why should Canada throw 30 billion at the auto sector if the USA does not. That would be like throwing 30 billion in to a black hole.

The Conservatives should stand up, put their best budget forward. Do not be afraid of the separatists or the liberal/ndp coalition and suspend tax payer funding for votes. And Finaly call the bloc's bluff by holding a national referendum on Quebec's place in Confederation. Then put the ball in their court. And say your turn to decide, Stay or Leave. Then make a law making it treason to have political party who's main objective is to split up Canada.

Then we will see how the people of Quebec really feel about sovereignty when they see the actual financial burden they face to be sovereign. They will vote to remain Canadian.

That would be true even if the US did also.

Heck no!! That would dash my plans to have a western party devoted to seperation.

What would you call your new country? British Albesaskatoba?

I'd like to take part of Ontario and the Yukon also.

Now...there's a hard one to do....

Call it Canada. Let Ontario and the others find a new name.
