You are wrong to assume that 63% of Canadians voted for a coalition government. It is true that 63% of Canadians didn't vote for conservatives, but the logic breaks down to think that 63% voted against conservatives. For example if someone voted liberal their second choice may have been conservative and not ndp or green. If you don't live in Quebec then you didn't even get a chance to vote BQ( not that they actually want your vote). The coalition would not be a stable government.

Are you calling what we have now a stable government?

Sweet! That completes my set! I've now had an ageist, racist AND a sexist comment. I'll even let this one count as homophobic. That's the bonus round!

@karflooie I call what we have now a stable government. It is the longest standing minority government in Canadian history. A coalition government that includes the Bloc is offensive, as their mission is to break up the country. The Bloc can say that they are not a part of it, just supporting it.. but the reality is that the Liberals and NDP would need them for every vote in the House of Commons. I for one do not want a federal seperatist party as the deciding factor in every vote.

"The Supreme Court has ruled that for three years, from 2002 to 2005, the federal government unconstitutionally collected employment insurance premiums." (CTV) Hmmm more evidence liberal issues? Where is the champion of the constitution now? So libs, you practice against the constitution and is undemocratic (with the Iggy crowning and the coalition)...and not to mention sponsorship scandal. How can any logical person blindly support these guys as being better alternatives? U are all idiots.

If you know anything about economics is that they are just models and are influenced by many forces. One of which is the media. Do you understand what a self fulfilling prophecy is? When they scare, people, they don't spend and what happens to the economy then? Keep talking and be an uncritical sponge, and we will be exactly like the US.

You don't know shit about the economy do you? Lower interest rates mean that the bank of Canada is foreseeing an economic plummet not unlike that of the US in the near future, because there is a lot of debt in the market. Lowering interest rates DIRECTLY lowers the value of the dollar, so don't think this is anything less than a desperate last-ditch effort to avert economic disaster.

So You would Rather have Dictator. Bet You didn't see me calling you a retard coming?

Good luck in the next elections. You're gonna need it. Conservatives vs a coalition of leftists and separatists = conservative majority. But it won't come to that. Ignatief is not that stupid.
