Harper is a disappointment for sure. I had hopes, especially for having a prime minister not from Quebec again, that he may have the leadership traits that encompasses the country, but I think he misses the mark. I think he is very smart and has a plan but his silence and lack of willingness to reach out and explain to people his motives are a detractor. Funny, Chretien was similar in that sense but was never questioned at length or in detail like Harper is. I guess people trusted Chretien but they don't trust Harper.

And the pact that was to involve the PC, NDP and Bloc in 2006 wasn't a coalition. It was a pact to introduce a posibble non-confidence vote. What we have today is a signed coalition of the 3 parties that have agreed to become the government. Big difference.

I hope the coalition doesn't take over. On one hand you have a very pissed off electorate that wants action from it's elected representatives. This will not instill confidence but worse, if a coalition takes place and it becomes the train wreck I think it will become, there will be non-confidence votes in the streets that will slow everything else down leaving not only the government at a standstill, but everything else.

Dion is incompetant,..completely and utterly. Layton is a micromanager who belongs in Alice and Wonderland, not having a hand in governing the country. And Duceppe doesnt give a flying fuck about anything regarding this country as long as the cash flow continues to flow freely into Quebec. Now he is in the ultimate of blackmailing positions because he can virtually ask for a blank cheque or with hold his support. Lovely, billions and billions of more of Canadians money so that we can keep up this ludicrous farce we call unity.

The more I think about it, the more I realize this isn't about one party or the next. It's personal. It's the coalition against Harper. I think they are forcing his card to resign,..because they know the longer he stays, the more danger they are of getting screwwed 10 times worse by him.
