Does anybody here see a link with this surprising development with the election of Obama and the power and influence of George Soros? This has the smell of Obama and his merry men and women, as they export their playbook to Canada. I can’t prove it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out later to be true. This ‘new’ left-leaning government would become the puppet of Obama and kowtow to his every wish, especially when it came to working side by side with him as he implemented his brand of radical socialism and going along with his views on bailing out the Big 3, global warming, the implementation of a carbon tax, and Obama’s tolerant views on Islamicfascism and the Palestinian cause. And finally to those who believe, like myself, that there are sinister forces out there who are working at best to marginalize conservatism and at worst to obliterate it from the planet and thus slowly erode our God-given freedoms here is another notch for your gun. And speaking of your guns Canadians, there is no 2nd Amendment for you folks to fall back on.

There will definitely be renewed talk of separtism from Western Canada.

It’s nice to see that the US isn’t the only country in North America with an axis of socialism :)

The consolation here is the 3 party coalition did get 53% of the popular vote, the BQ could have avoided this by holding out on the confidence vote agreement with Harper from day one after the election, and forced the Governor General to allow the Liberals an attempt to form a government.

The Canadian political class just lost a mild mannered well heeled economics professor and replaced him with a thin skinned elitist prig who can’t speak English and can’t articulate any economics policy in French, in the middle of an economic crisis.

This can’t end well. We can expect Alberta and Quebec to get exceedingly bellicose in the coming year.

In this case, I think the Liberals have finally dealt themselves the fatal blow. The Canadian people won't stand for it.

Bump!

Canada is the domain of Maurice Strong, not George Soros.
There is no hidden conspiracy, what you think is a conspiracy has been the dominant political philosophy in Canada for much of the last two decades.
Every time the people think they’ve got the Libranos out, they draw them back in.

I give this ploy less than 48 hours.

The Bloc and NDP have more seats together than the Liberals, yet lame duck Dion is PM. This is a setup for catastrophe.

Sober second thoughts by a few NDPers and Liberals ought to ice this scheme.

All IMHO.

To be honest under Canada’s system of government which is based on the government securing the confidence of Parliament periodically, if a government falls another election will be called pronto unless elements of the opposition can muster enough support in the eyes of the Governor-General to itself form a government. If then the ‘new’ government was defeated then a new election would be called by the Governor-General. With a coalition being formally signed by the Liberal Party, the NDP, and the Bloc Quebeccois the latter won’t happen. Yes, traditionally the party with the most seats in Parliament is supposed to form a government but it is not required. Thus what the ‘coalition is proposing to do is NOT illegal; again it is not illegal; undemocratic yes, Machiavellian yes, power-grabbing yes. Again this has the fingerprints of Obama all over it.

The Conservatives have not been able to break 40% voter support for 20 years. They are not really conservative anyway, and are a fading force in Canadian politics. It’s only divisions in the opposition that have allowed them to win minority governments.

Sorry to say but a coalition of socialists, quebec separatists and corrupt urban liberals pretty much reflects the majority trends in Canada’s degenerated political culture.

The combined Left has an absolute majority. They can probably take down the Conservative government if they want to. It would be a coup d'etat - and its all quite legal.

I guess it's all up to the governor general..... Wiki Link

And, yes, I am aware of the significance of capital letters.
