Canadian Coalition Government

With the Canadian Government in disarray right now, Stephan Dion, Liberal Leader, has taken a huge step in trying to set up a coalition government with the Liberals, NDP and even the Bloc. This will force the minority Conservatives out of power and would make Dion our Prime Minister. For someone who said he was going to step down as Liberal Leader to Prime Minister of Canada this is a very different message being sent. Is this a good idea for the country, should we hit the polls again and waste Canadian taxes for another Conservative Minority, or will Dion's play nice tactic to form a coalition actually be a good thing for Canada?

With a slipping dollar and a failing economy my thoughts are that this may only make things worse, whos to say once this coalition takes control that the separate leaders will still play nice, and whats to say that the Conservatives don't go after the NDP to make their own coalition. If anything this may just throw gasoline into a political fire that is already burning out of control. This is a lose lose situation at best, if anything this may affect the economy and dollar in a more negative fashion, and instead of bringing stability to a government and country, it may just shake things up even more. No matter what happens in the end it is us the Canadian Taxpayer that's on the hook for the bill and the consequences.

Frankly, Harper did this to himself.

Let's not let the Conservative propaganda machine lead us to forget that it was Harper who initiated this who thing when he tried to introduce legislation that would squash his political opponents in a fiscal update that was supposed to help Canada through tough economic times.

Great and now Harper has suspended our government, thanks to our Governor General. And it wont reconvene until mid JANUARY. So he bypasses the confidence vote, and now nothing will get done for a month or so, so we just stay in limbo. Do you think Obama would wanna run two countrys??
If not Give me the "Three Stooges"!!!!!
