Cons majority? How is that going to happen? Has Ontario gone bonkers?

Dont think it can happen.  If it does it would have meant that Quebec gave the Cons some seats as well and the likelihood of that is......

So if you won't vote NDP, Iggy or the Conservatives...whom would you vote for?

Oh, God, not the Greens?

They are as good a place as any to place a protest vote.

Nah...vote Liberterian instead.

Do you have any of those wacky Leninist/Marxists in your riding? Or Trotskyists?

I couldnt vote Liberterian even as a protest vote.  If an election does come I will have to carefully consider who screwed up the most and then punish them as best I can.

So far the leading contender for Head Idiot is Iggy since he precipitated all this.  I will keep an open mind to see if anyone can match his idiocy.

Now it looks like the BQ is going to support the gov't.  At least on this vote.   I guess the BQ supporters view this election as being as pointless too.

SO THE CONSERVATIVES HAVE ALLIED WITH THE HATED SOCIALISTS AND THE SEPARATISTS

Harper owes them.

I am not going to belabour this point but I'll say it once.

If we do have an October election, and it's not likely now, it would be Harper's fault that we're having our fourth one in five years.

Remember we were scheduled to have one this fall under Harper's own "Fixed Election Date" rule. Remember that?

He called an election last year when we did not need one. Do not forget that!

This whole last year-- Election--Coaliton--Prorouging--Crying to GG-- Ignatieff---has all been Harper's fault and could have been avoided. If he didn't call an election last year, we'd still be talking about the Green Shift

Last year's election was good and necessary.  Dion needed to be destroyed, as he was proposing concrete action on the environment.  Canadians believe that environmentalism is important, but they also believe that it should be completely painless.

Could a coalition be far behind....

We have already crossed swords on those points so I wont bore you with repeating myself.

My simple point here is that the only reason anyone is talking about an election right now is because Iggy decided he was looking too much like a Dion clone and needed to make "a stand" by sounding tough saying he would not support the government.  Why he cant do that at this point, who knows.

[Josephus]

fair enough.

I think by the end of this year, Iggy's probably gonna regret the whole Liberal Leadership thing and wish he was back in.....wherever he came from.

Still think they should have gone with Trudeau Jr.

[crazy canuck]

Still think they should have gone with Trudeau Jr.

I think I might have to hurt you.

That's just crazy talk.

Come on. Let's have some fun. And the Cons can run Mulroney's son, the guy from Canadian Idol....or, no. Wait. His daughter, what's her name? I'd vote for her.

[crazy canuck]

Come on. Let's have some fun. And the Cons can run Mulroney's son

I am really really going to have to hurt you.
