None of our banks failed? Not one. Sure CIBC had to write down some subprime investments they made in the states, but none of them failed. Some may have lived beyond their means but it didn't contribute until after the meltdown in the states.

Aree you kidding me. Typical American who thinks they are indestructable. Your nation caused the economic crisis we are in. We are still sitting fairly pretty up here. Have fun without Canada's oil. We import more oil to the US than any of the the Middle eastern nations combined. Can't run your tanks without it. Sorry to hijack the thread

I have a feeling that many other Canadians echo his beliefs.

HERE HERE!

I want to know how people view the law giving the ability to form a coalition government

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA elizabeth may. lol

i started a thread dedicatied to that exact possibility

"the short answer is no" is what he said. that tells me that its not black and white but a grey area and it could be a possible choice she can make.

Well written people. LOL Those two posts should get printed in a paper.

And I think he is going to get it. Isn't a 300 million dollar election better than 30 billion. at least then you know what Canadians want.

I think the GG can call and election. Evety news outlet in Canada has been saying that she has 3 options, accept the coalition gov't, call an el;ection, or say no and make Harper go back and try again with the financial stuff. Yes, the bloc is no doing anything illegal, none of them are, but Bloc should not be allowed to pull the strings. Personally, I don't know why the Bloc is even allowed to debate during the campaign.

http://www.vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/...9760/story.html Interesting. The GG can just say "no" and make the Cons go back to the drawing table on their economic package and re-present it. Hmmmmm

I find it laughable that anyone thinks the coalition financial stimulus is going to work. The stimulus packages isnt working in the states. Bailing out the auto industry (which is partly what the coalition is gonna do), cmon, we live in a capitalist society. Is the government gonna bail me out when I f*ck up my business. The auto industry has not listened to it's consumers for YEARS and it's reaping what it sowed. Let them go bankrupt PLEASE. That way Toyota and the foreigns can buy up their factories and I can get a much more fuel efficient BMW made in Canada at a lower price. What to know how to add stimulus to the country?? Go buy a freezer, get a cheque from the government. Buy a car, get a cheque from the government. Go to Canadian Tire and get a tune up, get a cheque from the government. Put the money in the hands of the people who really stimulate the economy. We always talk about recession in terms of consumer confidence. Don't give the money to the companies, they jsut f*ck it up anyways. Look at Canadian Airlines, Pacific Western Airlines ETC ETC. The banks still aren't extending credit, to individuals or corporations alike, like they said they would if they got "stimulated". What makes you this the auto industry is gonna do anything different. Look at WestJet. They set the bar for the airline industry and they have THRIVED! They give the consumer what they want. Air Canada follows suit, and they have been doing a lot better than they were pre-westjet. sorry i was ranting a bit but I believe in what i'm saying

First, you don't know that it would be an unwanted election. Or do you? And viable only applies to the working of parliament. It might be viable in the fact that it can be business as usual, but that doesn't mean it's viable to the people, even the people who voted either LIB, NDP, or Bloc. I find it hard to believe that the Liberal supporters, or the majority of them anyway, have happy fuzzy feelings about their party having NDP's being allowed to have their interest tabled and weighed with their liberal party, and the Bloc pulling strings behind them. Most liberals don't even want the guy they have leading the coalition leading their party. So to really know what the people want, have them vote for the coalition or not.

layton atleast GAINED seats.
