The Canadian Liberals, the infrastructural members, not the rank and file, want to get rid of Iggy. The Conservatives and Reform parties combined, to their political benefit and so can the Liberals and the NDP. Iggy and Layton want nothing to do with it because it will likely mean the end of their leadership, nonetheless. With Iggy as leader, the Liberals are going nowhere; it's just a matter of time until he is gone.

what a loser..............so loser parties don't have the right to influence the government? this is not a majority rules, democracy protects the minorities and gives them voice, what a freaking asshole!!

I have no problem with a Coalition government actually it would be better than the Harper dictatorship, at least a Coalition is the real majority of the voters.

I have one wish that the NDP & Liberals combine parties and end this madness that is going on, but I know that's not going to happen because the Liberals & NDP are too stupid to realize they too are repeating history, just like the Reform & PC split the vote for the liberals for 12 yrs.

27% of the population is not the majority, fuck Harper is an asshole. He tried himself to form a coalition government.

Man this man is going to destroy my country, I'm truly worried what he is going to do in the 3 yrs.

Mandatory sentences for pot is not the thing to be doing when it's clear our southern neighbours are seeing the War on Drugs is destroying it's country.

I wouldn't doubt he smoked the shit in school, I wish someone would come forward from his past with that info...

@Zackarius14 Your response sounds like most of the Harper supporters; uninformed and totally unaware of anything called an agenda. Get informed. And if you respond again, don't sound like a 3rd grader. Speak like an adult.

@cliflejeune Wow your dumb.

"David and I". He is so smug and totally into his own sense of smart. There would have been a coalition under Harper if he had his way in 2004 (but only if he was the king). And as for minority government working in Canada... it doesn't under a Harper regime because he won't let it. This election is his fault. And he will continue to govern with one thing at the top of his agenda; destroy the Liberal brand so nothing stands in the way of his intentions. A tyrant in the making?! You bet!!!!!!

@BoredomCorner Very true the government should obey the law and there have been issues but I'm curious what your particular issue is with the government that feels they broke the law?

[BoredomCorner]

@Cnd1867 Then that would be a great incentive for the Libs and NDP to actually get out and counter Harper's bullshit, wouldn't it?

[BoredomCorner]

@rollsthepaul Agreed.

[BoredomCorner]

@Deadmansparty2002 Canadians still want the government to obey the law.
