William Ashley Posted December 21, 2010 Report Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) The NDP are well positioned for a campaign it appears. http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2010/12/19/16611011.html The liberals are throwing off the straight jacket and ready to step into the ring. The block are polling higher than the last election... It seems an election may be imminent.. unless unless... Is shore line protection -- after they stood by and didn't step in with the atlantic and quebec flooding going to be compensation enough.. an - afterwards .. or is the offence done... After seeing these statements an election seems very likely... to be called as the budget is dropped if not sooner. Unless perhaps the Governor General is willing to take a coalition.... to save the 250 million dollars? Is that even an option anymore. Layton as PM, liberals with the majority of cabinet or substantial part, maybe even a few tories just to round things out.. ? Don't Canadians want Layton as PM? Perhaps it would encourage everyone to scale back the powers assumed by the PMO that legally belong in the PCO and Governor General. We ought remember government need not be the whole legislative framework. It need not place only one partisan faction at the helm.. it can be "multiparti" and non partisan. Look to the US as an example.. gates.. a republican pick a republican defence secretary still on the job under Obama the democrat. It is possible. We need to end this madness. The madness of greedy self involved goverment totally ignorant of the people. Corrupt Criminal and repugnant. Edited December 21, 2010 by William Ashley Quote I was here.
Bryan Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 It's a Conservative wet dream that the opposition would start rattling the coalition sabres again. I sincerely hope that they try it, but I can't see them being that dumb. Quote

Oh it'd be the end of the world to actually work on government that accounts for a larger part of the community you live in. How does "dumb" have to do with this? I can't beleive people are so narrowminded to not actually be open to sharing of power with their neighbours and then you wonder why there are seperatist movements in Canada. My gosh harper is ready for a coalition with the US but he won't even consider a coalition of Canadians. It is absurd. I hope our children don't get stuck in a world where they have no memory of Canadian PM's who actually worked for the benefit of Canada (and Canadians), rather than disolving it.

Bryan Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 It would be "Dumb" because the last time the coalition was brought up, Harper's approval ratings shot up into the mid-50's. Yes, there are a variety of political opinions all over this country. However, the opinion that a left-wing coalition is anything but a bad thing is held by such a small segment of the population, that it would be a disaster for them if they tried it again. Like I said, I hope they do try it, it would be glorious. Quote
Moonbox Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 William Ashley I'm not sure what polls you're reading but Monday's Globe showed Harper up again. At any rate, have you taken a look at the forum board and counted how many topics you've started all by yourself? It looks like 14 to me. Calm down. Take a deep breath.

It is absurd. It's at least as absurd as 15% of polled Canadians wishing they could give up their vote to participate in a US presidential election! PM Harper has to please that constituency too.

Elections are won or lost during the writ. Martin was up before 2006. Having only around 33% of support as a government with 15-20% of the voting electorate undecided isn't a good thing to be heading into an election with as a sitting government. Quote
