December 1, 2008 - The leaders of the Liberal Party, NDP, and the Bloc Québécois signed a power sharing agreement and announced their plan to defeat the Conservative government in a confidence vote December 8.

The coalition says they must seize power from Stephen Harper in order to implement a larger economic stimulus package than the Conservative plan.

The political parties have written Governor General Michaëlle Jean saying Stéphane Dion would be a viable Prime Minister, hoping she will ask the coalition to form a government instead of calling an election.

You are delusionally out of touch, no Canadians on the right are united with the pathetic Bloc Separatist party that this abominable Separatist Coalition is pandering to. An extra 1 billion dollars in equalization payments to Quebec, 6 senate seats to Bloc Separatist trash. Sorry, no right-winger would agree with that. I voted Liberal and I'm embarassed that my party, the party of Laurier, would ally with Separatists and steal the government away. I voted for them, but this is not right.

I am actually impressed to see some liberal supporters are dis-agreeing with this! and many comments are right, I will be in complete discust if this coalition gets any power, We voted for harper, even if he made mistakes, shit happens, that has been the liberals approach to everything in the past, and now its as if the conservatives are the only normal party, who here is actualy willing to vote for a seperatist(Bloc)/liberalist(Di­on..ugh)/communist party(NDP)? They dont care about our freedom

Show me a Canadian Politician who thinks it's OK to use a chequebook to resolve anything , and I will show you a criminal who needs to be put in jail for 10 years and have all of their posessions taken away on top of the payments.

While we are being led down this road of Coalition corruption and hatred , let us not forget that this could happen as a direct result of foreign investment at any time , to any Canadian Government in power , if we don't express our concerns within an agreement that is respected by both sides. Clearly , the Liberal Party & their ensigns are trying to pull out their "trump" cards , in what they view as a game , with their stockpile of finances , provided by Canadians , but supporting few again.

This is viewed as the time for the Separatists (Bloc) to finally do a nice powergrab. And the Liberals and NDP are blind to the aspirations of the Bloc! Perfect for Quebec, yet bad for the rest of Canada. Just when separatism was on its way down in Quebec, Dion stokes the flames once more giving the separation movement new life. Unbelievable bungling.

I wish we had yours. It's so much better.

So many people don't realize that.

Our system is completely different then the Americans.

canadians elect MP's not PM's...

We don't have an economic crisis and they have to make a political crisis = =

[WaSaBiiCaKe]

but the government are working closely with US government on that. Also, the TSX has been falling these days. Government instability can cause stocks to fall too and the three of them are worrying abut the economic crisis when they are contributing to it. They should really consider more factors before jumping to conclusion.

[WaSaBiiCaKe]

The coalition doesn't seem to have a plan to solve the economic crisis anyway. They formed because they are upset that Harper didn't do much about the crisis. Canada isn't in an economic crisis like the US. Our banks are not failing. We are just like everyone else in this world experiencing a global recession. Many economists have projected that the crisis will be over around mid or late next year. I know there is the worried of loss of many jobs due to the Ford problem

Shame on you. Choose your words very carefully, they reveal too much about how little you've thought this through. Egads! Harper used the Bloc to bring down the Martin Government! Get over the idea of Dion as the PM as if the PM equals a President. The coalition will HAVE to work with each other rather than have a Leader like Harper who throws people out of the caucus who don't agree with him.
