I think the GG did the right thing. With one news report suggesting 70% of Canadians were against the coalition, it was pretty much a no brainer for her.
I really have to wonder if this wasn't the plan by Harper from the onset.,..like if he caught wind of a coalition and turned the tables on them. You know, bait the opposition into a frenzy knowing their collective intelligences add up to the holes in a bowling ball, get parliament suspended to buy more time to view how things are turning out stateside and with the rest of the world economically, create the illusion of potential disaster (markets falling, Quebec separation, Alberta separation, coalition government) all the while sitting back knowing that all one has to do is nail a budget in January and walk off the the Prom King.
Even if he resigns, the damage to the Liberals and NDP now is almost immeasurable. They now have to exist with their tails between their legs, or whats left of them to stand on. People have transfixed on these morons like the clowns they are. I wouldn't doubt it right now, if Harper is sipping a nice snifter of scotch laughing his ass off.
If that is the case then Harper is quite diabolical.
No wonder Iggy decided to take the high road and put on his Lion's outfit from the Wizard of Oz. Out of sight and well,...
Funny today one of my colleagues said that Harper is a power hungry, arrogant SOB who should take what shred of dignity he has left and bugger off. I mentioned Harper's character is very much like Chretiens in that regard. My colleague responded that the difference was that Chretien was smarter. I disagreed and mentioned the difference was a majority government.
