Did not Harper vote with the bloc? i think treebeard is a little confused. I believe he thinks that there needs to be a formal agreement to form gov't in a minority like that. But that is not the case. Many a minority has survived doing case by case deals and in fact the first 6 years of harper's terms were exactly that. You don't need a 'deal' to be a gov't in a minority.

The reason they will need a formal coalition with the Bloc is because without one, they won’t have a minority government as a Lib/NDP coalition will be able to form government before the Cons could try.

That would not be likely. THe ndp and libs would not have enough seats to form a majority, which means they could still be brought down at any time and they would still need to win the confidence of the house with a throne speech which would likely be shot down by the bloc (and the cpc obviously). As soon as that happened the cpc would be offered a chance to form power and the bloc, rather than the ndp, would hold the balance of power. It would be almost impossible for the ndp libs to form a successful coalition unless they could find a way to convince the bloc it shouldn't hold the balance of power in gov't. Good luck with that.

I absolutely love this criticism from the left that PP hasn't worked except in politics (which he's worked at for over 25 years) so he's not qualified for politics. IF they were looking for a doctor - the LAST thing they would ask is "Is this ALLL you've done in your life? Like? No plumbing or office work, JUST being a doctor? That's all you've got?" They would never look at a lawyer and say "look, i'm under investigation for a murder i didn't commit, i can't hire you if ALL you've got is 25 years of legal experience and you never even tried teaching drama". In any other profession in their personal lives OF COURSE they would look for the person with the most experience in their field. But somehow - the fact that PP has DECADES of experience and university education that's appropriate to the job somehow DISQUALIFIES him?!?!

He hates Polievre. I'm not really sure why except that, Mikey likes to present himself as a rational intellectual. Actually...I agree with him on some posts...rarely but it happens...but in essence, Mikey's just another poor soul tortured by the visage and sound of Donald J Trump. Man...if one of the pharmaceuticals could develop a pill to alleviate this psychosis...we'd all be way better off.

Pseudo-intellectual if you will. Real intellectuals don't put quite so many on 'ignore' as i see him do It's a weak mind that can't face a contrary argument. 2 minutes ago, Nationalist said: Actually...I agree with him on some posts...rarely but it happens... Jokes about broken clocks aside, most people can find SOME things they agree on. Honestly - we should probably focus more on that as a society. Although it's not as much fun that way. 2 minutes ago, Nationalist said: but in essence, Mikey's just another poor soul tortured by the visage and sound of Donald J Trump.

Lets start with trying to figure out something something a little more simple and less politically divisive than trump derrangement syndrome. Like gender dysphoria or the grand unified field theory or something. Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
