I don't want a majority government either. =)
I'm picky.

Nope, I'm happy with an adminstrator running the country.

And further, we need the countries people to hold ineffective regimes accountable and make them responsible to us, not to their own special interests,....that is if we can stay awake long enough to give a shit.
What was the poll a few days ago. 68% of people think Martin is lying and knew about the sponsorship scandal,...yet when asked if Martin is doing a good job, about the same percentage agreed he was doing a good job. Can't get more blunt than that!

I consider balancing the budget and social issues to be more important than a relatively small amount of money spent poorly on national unity.
Canada’s debt-to-GDP (gross domestic product) ratio is expected to decline to 38.8 per cent in 2004-05, down from 68.4 per cent in 1995-96.
Canada's GDP is 1 trillion dollars.
30% of that is 300 billion dollars. That's a fuckton of fiscal responsibility.
0.1% of that is the highest figure I've seen for the sponsorship scandal. I want to see the Gomrey inquiry and the criminal trials go forward.

I think you overestimate the Bloc's adherance to their seperatist credo.
