    I cannot believe this..in the day. my parents you would have called (the so called coalition) “a pack of bastards”. If democracy is so important..then let me vote again! I will put in a majoriy and take these self serving politicians to task, and that would include the Conservatives!.. Boys, put your money where your mouth is and your self serving ways in your pockets. I would give anything at this point in History, to have the type of Leader who has shown himself worthy, as what has happened in the United States. The ones we have now have proven that they are not up to the task. That every Leader of each of the parties has put themselves first before the people they serve. I am ashamed of you! Get your act together and put the ratepayers of this country first or have enough guts to find someone within your Party who can do the job. Not one of you can! It is evident..both by the world turmoil and the tail of the dragon that we are lash to, that not one of you have served the purpose! Let the educated come to the front of the line and for Heavens sake give me some one with some basic common sense..they are the ones we need now. Sincerely, “Joe Canadian” who awaits ” not a job” but “someone who can do the job”..the rest of you..take a seat! EA

    Elizabeth, please explain how one voter intends to “put in a majority.” This should be interesting.

  • Elizabeth Henderson

    You are right madeyoulook…are you the one we need with the education, the common sense and a name? Still looking for a Leader. EA

    Yeah baby. A new government. No general election required, and it is all perfectly legal. If the cons can’t keep the confidence of the house, the GG just to ask a party that can, in this case libs & co. You can look that up in any poli sci 100 text book.

    The THREE STOOGES will be performing on the world stage, what a joke…. .lf Dion becomes our PM Canadians will suffer international embarassment and financial disaster. The Liberal party can’t even manage their own finances and now they are at the gates with a 30 million dollar plan to spend taxpayers money !

    The people who think elected representatives are traitors for exercising their obligation as members of parliament should take a citizenship test.
