THIS WAS EMAILED TO ME TODAY FROM A GROUP DESTINED TO STOP THE COALITION, AS YOU CAN SEE, I'VE ADDED MY OWN COMMENTS, -=-=- Top 10 reasons that a coalition would be bad for Canada -=-=- 1. A coalition government between the NDP and Liberals, supported by the Bloc Quebecois would undermine democracy because Jack Layton, Gilles Duceppe and Michael Ignatieff would govern without the consent of the Canadian voter.ALL THE MORE REASON TO IMPLEMENT 'GOOGLE FOR GOVERNMENT'..TO GIVE IN TO THE DICTATOR, HARPER, WOULD BE AS ASININE AS THIS COALITION. IF YOU TRULY WANT A MORE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNING SYSTEM FOR CANADA THEN 'GOOGLE FOR GOVERNMENT' IS THE ONLY AVENUE TO FIGHT FOR, AS OUR ELECTORAL SYSTEM PREVENTS US AS CANADIANS FROM ANY TRUE VOICE OF WHO LEADS OUR COUNTRY.
2. Michael Ignatieff has walked into the leadership of the Liberal party without one vote from the Liberal grassroots. The coalition government would be led by Ignatieff as Prime Minister without earning one vote from Canadians.WE AS CANADIANS HAVE NEVER HAD THE VOTE ON WHO LEADS ANY PARTY AND THIS MESS THAT ALL FOUR PARTIES HAVE PUT CANADIANS IN IS DEPLORABLE, LET ALONE ALL THE TAX-PAYERS HARD EARNED MONEY GOING TO SUPPORT THESE IMMATURE HIGH-SCHOOL ANTICS. 'GOOGLE FOR GOVERNMENT' WOULD ALLOW ALL CANADIANS A TRUER DEMOCRACY AS TO WHO IS BEST TO DO WHAT AND HOW MUCH OF OUR MONEY IS SPENT IN THE PROCESS.
3. Mandates are earned not taken. Canadians ought to express their will through the ballot box, not have it tossed aside through backroom deals.CANADIANS OUT TO EXPRESS THEIR WILL THROUGH 'GOOGLE FOR GOVERNMENT' WHERE EVERYONE FROM COAST TO COAST CAN DISCUSS, ARGUE AND AGREE ON ALL MAJOR ISSUES AND KEEP A "WATCH DOG" ON ALL EXPENDITURES 4. The Bloc Quebecois should never dictate the terms of our government. Theirs is a party founded on the principle of ripping up Canada and now they want a hand in influencing its governance?THE BLOC STILL COULD NOT DICTATE THE TERMS OF OUR GOVERNMENT AS THEY ARE MERELY BEING SUPPORTERS, UNLIKE THE DICTATORSHIP OF HARPER. UNFORTUNATELY, AS I HAVE SPENT MANY HOURS COMMUNICATING WITH A LOT OF WESTERNERS, I HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT IF THEY CANT HAVE HARPER DICTATING (NO STRIKES FOR TAXPAYERS, ATTEMPTS OF ELIMINATING THE VOICE OF THE OPPOSITION) THEY TOO WILL TRY TO RIP CANADA IN HALF, AND THEY ARE MUCH STRONGER THAN THE BLOC.Harper once wanted to join hands with the Bloc Quebecois as well for the same reason and sent it to the Governor General at the time, Adrienne Clarkson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZpJM2yc-Zk 5. 74% of Canadians voted against a Liberal government. Now, that's a majority!DOESN'T MEAN THAT 74% (WHERE DID U GET YOUR STATS) VOTED FOR HARPER...NO MAJORITY 6. In a time of economic crisis, we don't need a political crisis. In the UK, PM Gord Brown and opposition leader David Cameron have put aside petty partisanship to make government work. Why did Bob Rae say he'll vote to defeat this government even without looking at its budget?FIRST THE ECONOMIC CRISIS IS GLOBAL, NOT JUST CANADIAN, AND SECOND, HARPER GOVERNMENT DELIBERATELY CAUSED THE NON-CONFIDENCE WHICH CAUSED POLITICAL SUICIDE FOR DION (HE WAS ON HIS WAY OUT ANYWAY) BECAUSE OF FLAHERTY'S BUDGET WHICH CUT POLITICAL PARTIES FINANCING (SHUSHING THE OPPOSITION), ELIMINATE EQUITY PAY FOR WOMEN, AND MOST DESTRUCTIVE TO DEMOCRACY, REMOVING THE RIGHT TO STRIKE...OF COURSE THEY LOOKED AT IT AND DID THE ONLY THING LEFT FOR THEM TO DO. 7. Coalition talk is decreasing international confidence in our political and economic stability. On the first day of trading after the coalition plan was unveiled, the Toronto Stock Exchange plunged 864.41 points (9.3%). This is the biggest drop since Black Monday in 1987.UNFORTUNATELY, ALL FOUR PARTIES ARE GUILTY OF THIS POLITICALLY ELITE PING-PONG GAME OF POWER...AS CANADIANS, WE SHOULD, COULD, MUST STOP THE LUNACY..'GOOGLE FOR GOVERNMENT 8. We just had an election! Just a few weeks ago!! The Canadian people gave this current government a mandate. Now let them govern.THEY WON A TINY MINORITY, NOT A DICTATORSHIP
9. The economy is the number one priority of Canadians. Most Canadians don't care about the usual day-to-day bickering in Ottawa. Canadians care about their families and their jobs. Political brinkmanship reflects how out-of-touch Ignatieff, Layton and Duceppe really are with real Canadians.CANADIANS CARE ABOUT THEIR FAMILIES, JOBS AND COUNTRY...ITS TIME TO UNITE ...GOOGLE FOR GOVERNMENT 10. Why would the Liberals team up with the NDP anyway? The Liberals themselves have called the NDP "economy damaging". We have an economist as Prime Minister. When you have a toothache you go to the dentist. When your car breaks down you go to a mechanic. Who better than an economist to deal with the economy?GEEESHHHHH...THEY HAD NO ALTERNATIVE....
