May's comments reported here http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/262947 Her very own troops in our cities moment

Apparently it was during a press conference.  I didn't see or hear it myself or I'd have provided proof positive.  Being quoted on SDA

I'm hearing that she already asked PM Harper to "not put tanks on Parliament Hill to prevent the coalition" so comic relief seems to be her job after all. :rolleyes:

I'm becoming resigned to there being another election in weeks not months.  It's going to be ugly.   I will dust off my support for the Cons, in spite of the fact I was so disgruntled with their performance in the last one that I did not help out as I had in the previous two. This is action...

I'm not sure, I can think of about a dozen damning ads the conservatives could run.  Imagine  a picture of Cerberus with the three heads of Dion Layton and Duceppe?  How about one of the three of them ripping a map of Canada apart?  Layton and Dion singing kumbaya while Duceppe cuts Quebec out...

Anyone still think that this is a good thing for the country... http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20081202/quebec_coalition_081202/20081202?hub=Canada And Canada the loser.

CPC right, not PC.  Warm fuzzy and oh so happy progressiveness is what got us to this point in the first place.

Yeah, she (Sauve) stabbed me with a pen at Vimy Ridge! :D ( :warstory: True story)

It's interesting but it has absolutely nothing to do with the way the coalition was constructed and how it was presented to the GG. Funny that the same parties that lambasted the Conservatives for a thin policy document during the election think that they can replace the Conservatives plan...

I don't get what you are saying CK,  I'm pointing out that the document you just linked, the one that spells out the actual coalition only contains the signatures of Dion and Layton.  The one you linked to earlier as proof of Ducepes involvement was nothing more than a "please governor General...

Trivia: in terms of absolute vote count, Stephen Harper received more votes in 2008 (5.21 million) than Paul Martin did in 2004 (4.98 million) or Jean Chretien received in his 1997 election (4.99 million) which earned him a majority. Harper’s 2008 count roughly tied Chretien’s 2000 majority...

That document is not the one proposing a coalition, that is a letter to the GG asking her to take a look at the other letter.  The one proposing a coalition only contains the signatures of Layton and Dion. That may seem trivial but I dare say that without a formal coalition that can guarantee...

2.4% of the vote nationally would most likely have handed the Conservatives a majority 37.65% + 2.4% = 40.05%  The percentage may sound small but the liberals had a strong majority with 38.46% nationally in 1997. 2.4% in a multiparty democracy using FPTP is significant hence the seat count 71...

No, for all intents and purposes as far as I am concerned Canada would already be dead.  The very second that this coalition is permitted to dispose of the elected government on the permission and with the blessing of an unelected figurehead Canada, ceases to exist as a real democracy for me...

71 to 21 That's 71 Conservative MP's to 21 Lib/NDP MP's.   The west already spoke, loud and clear during the election.   A couple of days ago I said that the west will not take this lying down.  You want to know the difference between Western separation and Quebec separation?  The west has...

I am very quickly becoming one.  It's a shock to see just how easy it is for all of our votes to become meaningless and (I would argue) our democratic process and rights to go along with them.   I'm being shown just what the other two "federalist" (and from now on I will not use that term to...

Guilty of excessive hyperbole as charged :) Apples and oranges.  We never vote for the next election but we do vote for the party/person/ideals that we wish to see in power/in charge/inacted.   You are correct, though I always consider Seats as separate from voter share, after all the...

I disagree, obviously. No I don't.  I am too busy concentrating on the tone and intent of that tape to care about the actions of a nobody Conservative staffer.  I think you will find a lot of people like that. As for the legality of it, I'm no lawyer but if the guy received an invite to...

If this is true I would argue that there is a huge difference between a coalition cobbled together in the face of what appeared at that time to be a case of blatant fraud and Mafia style corruption and one we are now hearing was designed to overturn a legally elected minority parliament even...

Not a single Canadian voted for a coalition of Liberals, Socialists and Separatists.
