The PR campaign has started
As noted before an intensive PR campaign about the possibility of a new government has started in earnest. All Tory MPs received an email from Guy Guiorno, the PM's Chief of Staff story and copy here. In the meantime the other side has started, I received an email from a local chap who will remain nameless asking all interested parties to email the Governor-General:
Hi.
I have written to the Governor General, asking her to appoint a coalition government if the current Conservative government falls. Canadians do not need the obscenity of another $300 million dollar expenditure on another federal election at this time. My view is that Prime Minister Stephen Harper must learn to work cooperatively with other political leaders and parties, or step aside in the most effective and expedient manner possible.
If the current government cannot sustain the confidence of the House, less than two months after we last cast our ballots, then a coalition government is clearly the only viable option at this time.
Please consider sending your own letter to the Governor General. She can be reached at info@gg.ca.
The welfare of Canada is at stake
Thank you.
Now the latest news is that the public funding of political parties is to be taken from the Economic Statement and a speech outlining the new "economic stimulus package" will be delivered in Toronto, by Mr Flaherty this afternoon. So by tomorrow cooler heads will have prevailed. But somehow I doubt it - all the Tory blabbermouths - the Talk Radio shows start at 6am. Be prepared for an onslaught of outraged and righteous microphoneheads, (John Oakley, Bill Carroll, Mike Stafford to name a few) just waiting to boost ratings and whip up the usual "hard-working Canadians"!

"current government cannot sustain the confidence of the House"
To hell with the electorate, it's the House (party politicos) that will decide who governs. The Conservatives increased their vote in the last election. The Liberals are virtually insolvent. The NDP will liplock with traitors to the nation to obtain power. What a noble lot!
What a hopeful, wonderful development for all of us progressives who fear for Canada's future with Harper at the helm. My fingers are crossed with hope that the coalition government becomes reality.
With Harper only winning 35% of the vote in the October election, it is plain wrong to say that he "won" the election. Two thirds of Canadians do not support him, they support the parties who developed the Coalition, which would be much more representative of Canadians intentions than the stupid, out-dated dinosaur tory party.
I say bring it on, Canadians will be better off as a result.

Not a Dinosaur and not a Tory
The Canadian people from coast to coast, throughout electoral history have been consistent in their rejection of placing self-righteous, "progressives" (who don't speak white) into power. The NDP has no moral scruples about obtaining power when they gleefully get into a lip-lock with those whose prime directive is the dissolution of Canada. That is cynicism and the NDP has clearly demonstrated that they are no better than the Conservatives or Libs.
Get it straight -- Canadians do not support the Bloc. It is anti-Canadians who support the Bloc. And dipstickers will cram their "progressive" policies down the throats of Canadians regardless whether Canadians want it or not. This is your supremacist attitude; speak non-white or perish.
You're not a dinosaur -- your a reptile with a belly dragging along the the ground.
The fART of stereotype is the only language the NDP knows.
Did the Conservatives win a majority of votes? Nope. But it is accurate to say that the Conservatives won far more votes than any other party in Canada, several times more than those won by the NDP. The decades go by and by, and the NDP has never won power via the Canadian people. But here is the opportunity to boost the standing the seperatistes, and partnering with a leader that Canadians rejected with historical proportions, with a leader the party faithful do not want.
I guess I speak white and we know that the policy of progressives is to exclude white from rainbow-speak and call it inclusive, just as the Carlton University Student's Association exclusion of white-skinned people is regarded as a blow for inclusiveness. Exactly what George Orwell formulated for Big Brother -- War is Peace, Freedome is Slavery, etc. Canada is going to be progressive whether they voted for it or not.
I thought this blog was a place where people could express their opinions, and that respondents would reply with their own opinions, not derisive and unpleasant personal attacks.
I object most strongly to being called "a reptile with a belly dragging along the ground". Where does that fit into a respectful exchange of opinions? What contribution does that statement make to the discussion?
Mr. Keeler should refrain from making offensive personal comments and concentrate instead on making his point.
If he is unwilling to observe basic courtesies such as that, then Mr. Burd should refuse to post Mr. Keeler's opinions. If not, he will find himself with no other readers and posters besides Mr. Keeler. The rest of us won't waste our precious time on this otherwise.
Still not a Dinosaur. DJO.
My apologies for sounding white.
