All this talk about the lack of fiscal action is a total red herring.
All the talk of a 62% majority of Canadians is bogus!
Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion was clearly rejected by the Canadian people. He is soon to be a back-bencher.
Jack Layton has no other viable way to ever sit on the government side of the house.
A formal CONTRACT with the Bloc is beyond ridiculous.
I have never, in my 50 years, seen such back-room tactics designed to deceive the Canadian public.
The Conservatives and the Prime Minister clearly have shown that they have difficulty being cooperative in the house. They should have known better than to try and kill the political funding which the opposition parties so desperately need. Trying to restrict the right of public servants to strike was also a poor position to put forward at this time.
However, it really makes no difference if they are right or wrong and these policies have been dropped. They desired effect was achieved.
The Liberals, NDP, Bloc, and all the other parties in the country should hold the government to a high standard. This is why the people elected a minority government.
The spirit of cooperation has to work among ALL PARTIES.
The Conservatives did alter their agenda.
So, here's my question: Did the opposition parties plan to overthrow the conservative government before the financial update of last week?
Hey! What's up with that stuff!
