You're doing it again. Taking a fun thread and getting serious... Looking for appropriate songs, lyrics and song titles. Meanwhile, I got a good one for the other thread.

Are you really sure you wouldn't be........ Horrifed

Depends if you look at it from the CPC point of view. The CPC needs to maintain some seats in Quebec. And if this bridge burning is any indication, you who wish to have another federal election, must be prepared to lose seats in Quebec. Ouch, lost official party status.... Personally, I think 7 seats should be enough for official party status.

Shes the only one left working. Good thing Harper doesn't have the power to layoff the GG. Then who would tell Canadians what a great job our MPs do for Canada. if its good enough for Mulroney.....

Lyrics for the current session of parliment...... Bang the drum.... I found this fitting.

The CPC hacks, get very quiet whenever they are in a position of weakness.

Hate: But that's irrational

must have cheated. Harper is going to make a great Economics Professor. "How I lead the country into the Depression of the 21ST Century." That have to sell their own course material.

YOu are dreaming. There is no 62% support for the coalition. It is anywhere between 41% and 51%. 62% was the percentage of people who didn't vote Conservative. Therefore, you assume that the Christian Heritage, Neo rhinos and the Western Separtist parties support it, or that every single LPC/NDP voter supports that decision. They don't anymore then the Liberal Caucus is unified with the choice. Infact, Kimmy, a Green Party voter (2wice), I doubt supports the coalition. Of course, if you are speaking of 62% of the vote on this forum poll.... well, that is probably going to change before parliment rejoins in January.

All hatred has some degree of irrationality behind it. However Stephen Harper has had years to prove he is beyond his own personal petty partisanship. Something that should be an absolute must for a Prime Minister. One inflames the other. And why shouldn't the coalition be stronger without a leader? The Liberals are always higher in the polls when in a leadership race. The coalition was doing far better when the voices of Martin, Manley, Romanov, and McKenna were speaking, but then the Liberals choose Dion as their savior. The Liberals are a pathetic lot of losers, and Iggy won't change that. However bad the Liberals are, it shows how truly ineffective Stephen Harper is as a Prime Minister, that he can't even maintain the confidence of the house, while facing Dion. That he was so afraid of that pathetic little loser, that he closed down parliment. Regardless.... I am still reserving judgement about confidence. I have to get over my disgust first .

I don't have a crystal ball. I have no knowledge that the GG would not install the will of the house as Majority to avoid an unnecessary election from a government which performed for a total of a few weeks active in the house. I see no reason for the GG to call an election because the CPC wants one, even though they put parliment on a 7 week holiday rather then govern. I will follow through with the rest of what you say, pretending that the desires of conservative hacks is greater then that of the house, historical precedent and the desire of the public to not have an election..... Not unless the CPC force one. Then anything can happen. I never underestimate the will of Canadians to punish when really mad. And they are mad. But if I take the view of the spinners, hacks and strategists, I would say the LPC of today would be reduced to a couple seats in BC. And lose a few in Ontario, but not many. The LPC would not have enough support to "win" an election. A new leader is only going to prevent them from a total meltdown. A small bump in the polls but no major change in seats would occur from a change of LPC leadership followed by an election. First basic instinct would suggest/support your position. However, the LPC will fight the election like it is their last dying breath, which they should, because it would probably be their last dying breath if they didn't fight. The other thing, is how effective will the CPC propoganda be, if they get tagged for the purposeful defeat of the government in order to seek a larger mandate. Going to the well twice, may not get the intended results. And this is the scenario I fully expect. That if Harper orchestrates his own defeat, the GG will have to follow the will of parliment, install the coalition, and let them govern. And yes, there could well be hell to pay down the road. And because this is the most likely scenario, it is the reason that Harper took a vacation from his problems. And those problems won't go away, if the vote doesn't pass. There is no logical reason to suggest, hey, we governed for 6 weeks, took 7 weeks off, we haven't passed one piece of legislation, and we had asked the GG for an election to govern better then we were, and now we are a pathetic useless bunch of losers. So, could we do it again, for another 300 Million, and another 8 more weeks of delay and then, if it all works out good......well, then its another 6 weeks before parliment gets running after that, and we can maybe pass our first piece of legislation in 8 to 12 weeks,so we are looking at late May/June for our solution to the economic crises. Sounds good to me.

Is that what happened? I know it is possible, but is it really worth the effort. I know that the coalition/anti-coalition poll lasted a long time, still going up a bit, but had 86 votes last I looked. And, while that is one of the highest yielding forum polls I have come across, I would think that people who do as you suggest, already have their fictional voting accounts setup. I just don't have the time for such nonsense. I am too busy, very busy, erm, well, just trust me, I don't have a multiple account Haven't voted in your poll yet either, although I like it. PS. Where's Libby Davies? PPS... There we go, a couple more confidence votes

Wow those are some heavy numbers for non confidence......?

1) Don't kid yourself about support for an election.... It isn't there.....anymore then there was support for the last one. And 16% support for an election doesn't say a hell of alot. Regardless of what is said about the coalition. It is just a stupid Idea of CPC strategists and hacks. The same strategists and hacks that created the crises. 2) Canada has a black eye, because of the actions of the Prime Minister, first in creating the crises, and second, in having to suspend parliment to buy time to undo a confidence crises of his own making. 3) The GG .... you have a crystal ball, and know that she would ignore precedent? She did not with the Prime Ministers request, she is unlikely to deny any party the opportunity to govern if they have the support of the majority of the house. 4) If CTV is accurate and the GG did want to resign over this... then clearly it is because she couldn't do the job. However, she did, but that is no reason that a GG should threaten to quit, when asked to perform her duty. Unless she believes her only duty is to fly around the globe at taxpayers expense. 5) Coalitions are formed after elections not before. The LPC/NDP/BQ run their own separate campaigns during elections, and the circumstances after such election may not revolve around the need for a "coalition". Such as if the LPC received enough seats for a Majority they wouldn't consider forming an alliance/accord or coalition.

I am glad your patronage appointment is working out well for you.

Here is another link... not soon enough Dion resigns AGAIN

You voted for Mulroney? You like losers....

There is so much that is wrong with this post, that you could be an MP or and MPP.

I want to congratulate you for creating an unbiased, clear and straightforward poll. I am reserving judgement on parliment, until after their christmas and News years 7 week vacation.

You keep kicking them back

They never had to close parliment down to make one... NO other G7 Country using this tactic of dealing with an economic crises to prepare their budget.
