Describing this coalition as a "putsch" is insulting to our parliamentary system. We live by the rule of law. There are rules for these situations. Harper has lost the confidence of the House. The Liberal/NDP coalition has the confidence of the house. Our democratic rules are very clear about this, the coalition is to be given an opportunity to govern. But instead of abiding by the rule of law Conservatives are putting spins on this (like "putsch") and trying to substitute the rule of law with mob rule. It's disgusting. What the Conservatives should have been doing all along is working to gain and keep the confidence of the House, because that is what they are SUPPOSE to do.
So there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting into bed with the bloc then anon??? Go soak your fkn head...

It is clear (to me anyway) that this move by coalition is about thier losing money for votes; not about the budget or whats right for Canada or Canadians, but what is right for their parties and thier allowance (greed). It is a perversion of the parliamentary system nothing more.

Anonymous ,your everywhere, it is not a Lib/NDP coalition, you forgot the magic ingredient The Bloc! You know ,the party only competing in Quebec,you know the party bent on the destruction of Canada,you know the party needed to make this work.
As Clinton said "it's the economy stupid" well I say "it's the Bloc......"
Actually, the Bloc is NOT part of the Coalition. There are only two parties in the Coalition: the Liberals and the NDP. And the Coalition has the support of the Bloc to stay in power. Very similar to how the Conservatives had the support of the Bloc for their first budget; if the Conservatives did not have the separatists support their budget would have been defeated. So if there is something wrong with this, the Conservatives were the first to "get in bed" with the Bloc.

Using a pseudonym is fair. I'll always use Rideau Nonny. My previous comments were:

Nonny, I do agree that this coalition is legal.
However it is clearly a triumvirate which involves the Bloc. They were in the meeting, they have what amounts to dictatorial power over Canada.
What makes this a political non-winner, and we are starting to see a lot of protest from the Premiers, is that what you have is a party which only the people of 1 province could vote for, that holds ultimate power.
If we all had the choice to vote for the Bloc then I would agree that this is politically valid. But we didn't. Combined with how the Bloc's main purpose is to create Quebec soveriegnty and this deal really stinks.
Dion is a traitor. He has signed up with the very people he supposeably opposes.

"anon says... Using a pseudonym is fair. I'll always use Rideau Nonny."
then we're good.
thx.

So much for the statements that there is nothing to fear from being in bed with the Bloc.
Guess what sleeping monster has just been aroused?
Separatism !
On MDL...Jean LaPierre says Parizeau will be coming out tomorrow to state that this coalition is a wonderful thing for Quebecers and separatism.
That with Pauline Marois PQ backing it too we have a proper shit-storm underway.
So do tell me again how wonderful this coalition will be.

I hate the Bloc. No, I despise them. I think I would rather drop dead before I would do what Dion did. However, with a Liberal/NDP coalition it simply mathematics that gives the Bloc the balance of power. If they support the Coalition they have the confidence of the House. If they support the Conservatives they have the confidence of the House. Let them support who they will and lets move on.
@ liberal supporter:
I'm not going to bother arguing with you, because when you argue with a stupid person, the first thing he does is drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.
I suggest however, instead of putting words in my mouth and trying to tell me what I should do, that you look up what the word "putsch" means...

"liberal supporter said... using a word that I can only recall being associated with hitler and a beer hall?"
note to all... the person who posts as 'liberal supporter' ("aka cc-nonymous") is the reason i had to invoke my "commenting policy" in the first place.
he is no longer welcome at this blog... and you can see why... right here

"There are only two parties in the Coalition"
Who only have 114 seats between them - so how are they "representing the will of the majority".
This is a farce and you trying to spin it and justify it by saying it is "legal" is quite funny.
This is an insult to our democracy - it might be legal, but it is anything but democratic. And you saying it is doesn't make it so.
Thank you for posting the online support letter. I have put it on my blog too.
Onward and Upward !!!
Alberta Girl, neither the Conservatives nor the Coalition have a majority. Both of them need the support of the Bloc in order to have the confidence of the House. And whomever has the confidence of the House governs. That is democratic. It's called Parliamentary democracy.
So...7 Liberals elected in Western Canada and over 10 times as many Conservatives.
This is going to go over GREAT in the West.
I feel that the overwhelming volume of emails that have been flooding the inbox's of all parties, revealing unrest for this coalition with separatists, may very well see floor crossings, a budget, and a change of heart from the opposition.
This manouver will be very difficult for Libs to explain to their supporters.
The train is stalling. Iggy was no were to be seen today while Bob Rae was ignoring any mentioning of Gilles positioning relative to separation.
The GG has not even agreed, and the wheels are starting to fall off.
This will hurt Libs and the NDP, and the Block may have rekindled a separatist movement pending what rise may come out of tomorrows Provincial election.
I'll bet my new car there isn't a single floor crossing. Come on, there isn't a single MP in a single party that is going to break ranks in the next week or two. There are Conservatives fuming mad at Harper for his idiotic moves that got us here; but they won't cross the floor. There are Liberals who despise the NDP; but they won't cross the floor. There are NDPers who think this is ass-backwards; but they won't cross the floor. What may happen is some may decide not to show up for the vote. That may happen!

"anon says... The train is stalling. Iggy was nowhere to be seen today..."
according to bourque... iggy may be getting cold feet.

I went to sign that letter you linked to, and it requires a phone number as well as a street address and email. I'm not going to put my phone number on a public form, not even for this purpose, though I'm foaming at the mouth with rage about this coup...
LOL isn't the Bloc a seperatist party, yet they demand seats in the Canadian Senate (a life time of employment) does that sound like the work of a Seperatist Party in any hurry to go bye bye? LOL to funny, if I were a Quebec Seperatist I'd have to admit that the Bloc is nothing more than a Blackmail Party for our taxdollars.
The Liberals have married the seperatist and socialist/commie party and now the seperatist are selling their soul for senate seats. Does anyone on the political left have any morals, ethics or integrity? Nope zip nada.
LOL does this make the Liberal Party a polygamist or just a hoe?
Neo Conservative:
Ya, I thought I changed my posting so that it only said they wouldn't cross the floor. I think that idea is non-sense. I shouldn't have said they won't break ranks because I closed by saying they may not show up for the vote. It would be very difficult for Iggy to break ranks right now. He might send a message another way, though. And some of his MPs could decide not to show up. And as for this idea that the Bloc are going to get Senate seats all I have to say is give your head a shake.
I called 10 liberal MPs
I emailed the GG's office
I donated $50.00 to the CPC
The gg phone line is solid busy, I'm guessing the fax is out of paper.
We can take more direct action as well:
