The bottom line is that the house was going to come down any way so why try to pass this right now. I want to see the buget pass but I don't want to have the Liberals running the country at this time. They have been found ineffective by there own people and now the story is comming out. We knew this was coming. Look at the last election and the past history of minority governments in this country. It was predicted that this govt wouldn't last 6-12 months. It was displayed for days by all media.
This was only going to happen when the Cons and the Bloc made their deal, not before. Harper has made his bed now he will have to lie in it. What you or I want is not the same as what can pass in the house. The Gomery inquiry has not finished and I see no good reason to call an election to get yet another minority. All this shows is the Conservatives are impatient for power. The Liberals have given the Conservatives a win on a silver platter come spring of 2006 when clearly the Gomery inquiry will publicly hang the Liberals. At that time the Liberals can and should be judged on their record. To do so now only shows that facts mean nothing and perception is everything. Majorities can be ignored so long as personal power can be achieved. We must always be wary of corruption in government but we must not be seduced by puritan witch hunts giving credibility to radical agendas that would weaken the central government to the point were it would be helpless to put down popular insurrections. We must be Canadian 1st and keep our eye on that ball.
What is to gain from an election twice in one year? Does anyone believe with the Bloc having a lock on 60 seats that anything but a minority government is going to happen? The Conservatives have to make a deal with the devils to form their own government and if they do this will be the last government we will have as Canadians, do we want that? Interrupting Gomery in the middle of the inquiry is like interrupting a surgeon in the middle of an operation. Let the man do his work for all our sakes.
