I read a bit on the front page of the paper tonight, and just wanted to shred it!

The Liberals, NDP and Bloc have signed an agreement to work together to be the actual government, since the Conservatives are only a minority government. His response to this was that it was imposing a government onto the country that was against the people's wishes.

WTF? obviously the people didn't trust HIM enough to give him a majority government. If three disparate parties like those can find a middle ground to actually work together against the Conservatives, I PRAISE IT! good for them! Him saying this was against the will of the people is freaking bullshit political retoric that should not be allowed. It annoys the crap outa me.

He's been trying to set himself up as the only leading voice in Canada that matters. He's been trying to dictate to parliment and it keeps back-firing on him. The recent coalition is in response to him trying to put through policies that would cause all opposing parties to the Concervatives to have to disband due to lack of funds, and then he would be able to put through whatever legislation he wanted to. They formed the coalition, and now he's meeting with the Governor General today at 9:30 to discuss disbanding parliment altogether! He wants to shut it down (he says temporarily, but really, once it's down, there's no one to make him put it back up again) and he'd be right where he wants to be, he would be the only ruling voice in Canada that had a say in what happens ( ... )
