Say It!

It took Canadians all but abolishing Dion in the election, and then nation wide outrage when Dion decided Canadian votes didn’t mean anything, for Liberal members to begin asking themselves, ‘gee I wonder if Dion is the person we need leading our party?’

Liberal infighting has begun to tear at the seams the coalition formed with the socialist party, backed by the separatists, and no one could be more pleased than a Canadian who wants to continue putting food on the table.

With Dion expected to resign before Christmas, Liberals are trying to figure out how to move forward in the new year to ensure Harper can’t get anything productive done, and to ensure Canada’s economy is overshadowed by selfish political posturing. My hope is that the entire party will fall apart and rebuild into something worth voting for. The Liberals need to start putting leaders into place that Canadians can relate to, and actually use common sense when talking about environment and economic issues.

Hard core Liberal voters need to start holding the Liberal Party accountable for their actions by not voting for them for an election or two. Then, and only then, will Liberals begin to work for Canadians, and not their egos.

The Liberals, New Democrats and Blocs signed a deal on Monday committing them to bringing down the government, just seven weeks after the Conservatives won re-election with a strengthened minority.

The Canadian people didn’t ask for this, as a matter of fact they made it very clear that they want nothing to do with Dion or Layton. The only one of the three that can’t be blamed in this fiasco is the Bloc, who have never claimed to have had Canada’s best interest in mind. If the Bloc see an opportunity to dismantle the foundation of the government they’ll usually take it, and they did.

In a time of economic crisis the NDP and Liberals have chosen to make a selfish move for power, threatening an economic plan and costing the tax payers millions in a new election, that is, if there is a new election. Canadians could be forced to accept a government it never voted for until 2011!

There are those who argue that we don’t vote for government, we vote for parliament, therefore we did vote for this team of misfits (Dion, Layton, Duceppe) to run our government. To them I say wake up and start counting. Canadians voted 143 seats for Conservatives, 77 Liberal, 37 NDP and 49 Bloc.

Liberal voters who are for the coalition need to ask themselves what kind of agreements were made with the socialists, and promises made to the separatists. This won’t be a Liberal government which you may have been hoping for, it’s now a coalition government. Is that really better than Harper?
