I guess I don't understand Canadian politics. Is this Harper getting impeached? Are you not elected to terms?

This is the problem when you win an election, but don't have enough seats for a majority; the Liberals, NDP, and Blocheads have just enough seats combined to stagnate the government and pull this stunt repeatedly. They don't get what they want in the budget, so they combine and do a non-confidence vote...and it triggers an election. The Conservatives will win, AGAIN...but...likely won't have enough for a majority unless there is huge voter backlash against the other parties over this never-ending bullshit.

Meh. I hope not. If anyone, I would want Wildrose to win rather then the shit show going on. Unlikely, I know (given that they are in one province).

We need to just annex Canada and exploit their natural resources.

Didn't somebody protest in Quebec earlier today? We need a no-fly zone up there! Let's just take out their air power... and their air defenses... and their heavy equipment... and send in special forces.

I propose we call it: "Operation Maple Syrup"

Pshhhh....you can't even take out ragtag insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan after all these years. Try winning the fights you're already in before looking to start new ones.

promise several things, lower taxes, no welfare.. reaganism, and promise that any liberals and lefties are 'accidental casualties'.

and ill take an m16 and fight for delta when you paradrop into my neighbourhood. funny enough almost everyone will fight with you, except the politicians and arts students, but they couldnt fight or compete for anything anyways, so they would be easy.

call it 'operation red white and blue dawn ' swayzee can ead the charge.

much better for a movie, and watch out.. because that maple syrup might one day.. OOOOZZZEEE OVER THE BORDER... MENACINGLY ! (from canadian bacon)

hahaha

This isn't about winning fights. It's about humanitarianism in Quebec. We cannot let these valiant freedom fighters fail.

Same shit happens down here. It's called the filibuster.

I'm praying that there is enough voter backlash over this that the Conservatives manage to win a majority. Things will actually get DONE around here for a change, and we won't be dealing with an early election yet again.

Personally, I'm hoping not. I like the Wildrose but they aren't Canada wide.
