Canadian Liberal Party Enters A Legal Coup Position
12/01/2008 – 3:08 PMThe Canadian Liberal Party enters a Legal coup position, what I mean by that is by forming a coalition party with the NDP and with written support from the Bloc they can legally overthrow the current sitting Conservative Party Government for power!
As far as I can tell this is a first for Canada, not to mention not what voters want… its purely a political play. What do I mean by not what the voters want? well, we just had an election and we voted for the Conservatives to lead our country but with a minority rule. We (Canada) did not ask the Liberal party (the party I voted for btw) to run our country, so if you - the Liberal Party - wish to run the government then you need to hold it to the votes to decide, you cant take our country like this, its simply undemocratic! and is why I’m calling this a legal coup!
One thing I’m thankful for is that finally Canada’s politics are getting interesting

There was another coalition government on the federal level back in 1917. On the provincial level we had one in Ontario back in 1985. The Globe & Mail has these and other Canadian examples in a small little Flash timeline at the end of this link: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081201.wPOLcoalition1201/BNStory/politics/home
Personally, I think having government representing 54% of Canadian voters is a lot more democratic than having the country led by a party that only got 37% of the vote. Especially when that party with the 37% minority tries to government as if it has the majority, rather than trying to find common ground with the other parties. The coalition will have to find common ground to stay together resulting in a government and legislation that reflects the wishes of Canadian voters a lot more, than what was happening before.
