Misplaced Cynicism

I'm used to President Bush arrogantly pushing his views across and I'm all too familiar with Israel's political leaders preciously guarding their own seats while the country suffers, but I did not expect docile Canada to wake me up from my honeymoon with politics

The coalition sounds like a terrible TERRIBLE idea to me, and certainly not one borne of genuine concern for the country but rather pure opportunism.

I don't buy the Conservative argument that this is somehow undemocratic either. It's a minority government and the opposition are well within their right under our laws to do this, but a hastily planned THREE PARTY coalition with a weak outgoing Liberal leader is not going to be effective or agile in any way.

Also if I read one more person blog that this will grant the wish of "the 61% of Canadians who voted against the Conservatives", I may need to start a snarky blog-comment war.

For what it's worth, I probably would have voted Conservative in the Canadian elections, but I would have entertained the thought of voting Liberal. I would not have entertained voting for a THREE PARTY COALITION containing the NDP and Bloc.
