Bagnell, Fentie at odds over coalition regime

Great so the Liberals are willing to pay off the Bloc in order to gain power. This just proves that the only thing the Liberals were ever concerned with was power! I hope that everyone who voted for Larry are ready for dark times ahead. If you thought Western Canada was ignored before you haven’t seen anything yet!

Fentie is just demonstrating the kind of narrow minded partisan politics that has got his ally Harper in trouble with Parliament.  It is obvious that the Conservatives have lost the moral authority to lead the country and the confidence of the House.  The real Stephen Harper showed his face last week when his party took advantage of the difficult economic situation Canada and the world are in, to attack democracy, women’s rights and workers’ rights.
The Liberals, NDP and the Bloc Québecois are showing the kind of maturity that has been sorely lacking in federal politics for quite some time, setting aside petty differences and focusing on getting us through these hard times.  Canadian democracy will emerge stronger from this coalition which represents the support of over 60% of voters in the last election.  Plus the Bloc Québecois is now acting in the best interests of all of Canada, and that can only strengthen the federation, not weaken it.

i think it is garbage that our mp is going along with this. I mean grow a set and take lead, tell your lib boss that it is a stupid idea.i voted for larry, yet i am embarrased that the government is going about this way, backroom deals and whatnot, to overturn the government. 6 weeks ago, canadians voiced out strong they did not like dion or his policies. I wish dion would just pack up like chretien and get lost. The fed liberals have only hurt canada, could you imagine the harm, bush… or i mean dion (same tactics) would harm canada.

Change is always difficult to take.  I guess from Fente’s point of view Prime Minister Harper could do no wrong and could easily be forgiven for his minute mistakes.  Ain’t partisan politics great.  I have heard from friends, acquaintances and foes alike who like Harper’s newest budget and you know what almost everyone of them didn’t vote in the last federal election! Open minds folks Coalition might work!  Heaven knows this present government isn’t doing so well!  See what happens.

A real leader doesn’t ignore the advice of his best advisors. Harper did just that when he decided to “go it alone”, ignore the economic crisis and use the fiscal update to skewer his political opponents, women and the public service.

A real leader pulls all sides together during a time of crisis, not isolate them. Dion forged a partnership with members of the House. Harper did not.

Harper seriously miscalculated here, and it’s time he gave up the helm of the conservative party. The right is an important part of our demoractic system, but Harper’s blunders makes it impossible for him to ever have the confidence of the House again.

Ms. Jean might have given Harper an extra six weeks to plot and brainwash the masses, but where the rubber hits the road, the House, Harper is a lame duck.

Good bye, Stephen.

I am very disappointed, but not surprised by Larry Bagnell’s stand on the attempted coup d’etat in Ottawa. I guess, Larry never voted against the party line; perhaps no guts.
I totally agree with Harper to cut the taxpayers money for lavish lifestyles of a few in Ottawa. You want money, collect it from your supporters.
To finance the Block Quebecois in its trying to destroy this country is preposterous.
In many parts of this world, the separatists and their allies would be dealt with as traitors. In countries like Cuba, Venezuela, Vietnam, Russia,  a former Soviet block and other socialits paradises, they will just disappear. One should consider that before pledging his or her support to
hopeless Dion, socialist Lenin and separatist Duceppe. Mary Christmas.

Does Bagnell stand when the Canadian anthem is being sung and played before parliament begins? If he does, then he is a hippocrite if he sides with the Bloc. The Bloc sit there laughing and with smirks on their faces as the anthem is sung. Liberals and NDP want to ally with this? lol, power grabbing at any cost and you coalition people rationalize it and give excuses for it.

It has nothing to do with Canada’s economic crisis. It is just blind hatred of Harper. No substance or value to this coalition cause, just an abnormal appetite for power. Why should I have to pay for crappy political parties. I dont get paid to vote, but apparently political parties do. If they go bankrupt oh well, how long has the liberals been around? Since the birth of Canada and they need taxpayer money to support themselves. You think there would be many grassroot funding from the many years in power and years of politics. I guess the liberals screwed them too as they like to screw us. Green Party shouldnt need money, they should use carbon credits and good ole Taliban Layton can tax his supporters and members to get money.

We can rely on Judi Johnny for open minded folks for the coaltion. What a condrictory to itself, the Bloc are open minded to any idea of getting close to the drivers seat as with the other 2 stooges. Just because you are not for the coalition doesnt mean you are close minded. As I recall, the 3 stooges are not even open minded to work things out, just jump the gun for power. Thtts called maturity, lol.

Sick and tired of hearing 60% of the people. 58% voted out of the total population, give it a rest. People who voted for NDP did not vote for the Bloc let alone the liberals. Stop saying 60%, divide the numbers up accordingly.

sure, 60% isn’t a number you want to hear… how about 37% out of only 58% of Canada’s population who voted?  the right wing spin can go both ways arn…  it’s a center left country… harper will never get a majority so he better go back to working with the other parties and quit governing like he had 73% instead of 37%

I for one, am sick of how the federal government acts. we go at least two months, hearing ther platforms etc, then we vote, but in the end, one party can bully there way into power. I voted Larry, but.. I’m not sure i will next election if he doesn’t grow a set and say at least yukoners don’t want this.

Canadians voted conservative, its very undemocratic to say you have no confidence in the current government, that canadians put in power.

I hope rather than the liberals steal power, we have a election.
