| Get the MPs member of the coalition to timely appoint a credible leader for the next confidence vote. I suggest to keep the Libs&NDPs old guard out and consider new blood such as Mulcair. Definitely not a Lib IMO but is up to these MPs (including the Bloc ones). The rest is noise... Check Facebook "... |

| In regards to "defusing the crisis", finding a new leader for this coalition is probably necessary at this point. NDP Thomas Mulclair is my best bet, even if he comes from Quebec. Dion is over-reaching once again and it is not working. The polls are very clear and unfortunately(?) the rule... |

I can pretty much guarantee a PQ Marois majority government which will "justify" a PCC vote. Sick indeed this bully.
I am most disappointed by the GG letting Harper getting away with this prorogation without any caveat whatsoever. Down this bogus mornarchy (&Senate) as far as I am concerned. |

| Although I support the coalition, I think that rushing through to it (or sticking to the PCC government) would be a bad idea. I think that Canadians should be asked in a referendum-express (no campaign & short fuse before Chrismas!) whether they support or not this proposed coalition. The result... |

| The Stranger has been kicked out of my house over 10-15 years ago. Has been replaced though by someone called "Net". He seems to listen to me more and let people interact with one other. I much prefer it that way. PS Excellent. Hope you have all read "Amusing ourselves to death" from Neil Postman (1... |

There is also something awfully suspicious brewing on an alignment with Sarko's "bilingualism" and medias (aka Paul Desmarrais Power Corp's). Wat... |

| Scary to see the huge debts that these political party leadership campaigns are generating (e.g. Dion&Ignatieff with the Libs). One can imagine that payback time comes with special access to the PMO office once in power. There is really little incentive to the system to reform itself. I am glad that... |
