OK so I know I will get in trouble with this post by a few people but I dont really care. This is my opinion! From a Facebook group....
I don't think I am the only one livid at to prospect of a coaltion to topple the current government. No less than 6 weeks ago our country participated in the democratic process to elect a government, and the country elected the Conservative Party. Now a coalition headed by the Liberals consisting of the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois is threatening to topple government.The worst part of this coalition is that it is arbitrarily seeking to gain power. They are not doing it because of any specific and realistic crisis in the government, it is simply this, they want back in power.THEY COULDN'T WIN POWER, SO THEY'LL JUST STEAL IT INSTEAD.
What happened to democracy??
Last week, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty tabled an economic update in the House of Commons to take steps to reduce government spending and to show Canadians politicians are willing to walk the walk, and tighten their belts.Some of the original measures included cancelling $27 million in tax payer subsidies to political parties ($1.95 per vote, every election, for parties with over 5% of the vote), limiting M.P. salary increases, freezing civil servant salaries, and temporarily ending the right to strike for our civil servants (to ensure stability in the civil service during the worst economic downturn during the Great Depression).
The opposition parties claim a lack of economic stimulus as for their reasoning for a coalition government agreement. Canadians know better than that, and see through their games. We know the only reason the opposition got a backbone was the thought of losing their tax payer subsidies. Our current Government was planning to take the responsible path of delivering an economic stimulus package in the federal budget in January. This was to wait after hearing the provincial needs in a First Ministers conference, and waiting to see which direction the Obama administration would take (in regards to the auto industry) when Mr. Obama takes office in January.
The opposition is demanding reckless action of throwing money around, without first consulting the provinces first. Prime Minister Harper, realizing Canadians would not want an election over this issue, removed contentious portions of the economic update including canceling party subsidies, and civil servant's right to strike. He also pushed ahead the budget date to early January.The opposition parties are power hungry, and will stop at nothing to take hold of power.
In the October 14th election, they never told Canadians they had intentions of forming a coalition government. In fact, Dion, denied this during the election. Centrist, moderate Canadians who voted Liberal didn't necessarily vote for them with the intention they were going to form a coalition with the socialists (NDP) and separatists with full out socialist economics.The Canadian people have not lost confidence in the Conservative Government. Only the opposition parties have, in their desperate blind grab at power.
Fight for better. Join us in demanding democracy be upheld. The vast majority of Canadians do not want a coalition government with a Prime Minister Dion (rejected by 74% of Canadians), with the socialist NDP, propped up by the separatists who want to destroy this country.
The TSX dropped today. Our country needs stability, and these three stooges antics are adding to the economic turmoil are markets are reeling from.
Shame on the Liberals. Shame on the NDP. Demand better. Demand democracy.
