Then how come none of the pro-coalition parties had the courage to tell the voters in the last election that they were open and willing to join forces with the Bloc? Wouldn't the great big heartedness of the "progressive brotherhood" allegedly shared by the Liberals, NDP, and Bloc have allayed all voters' fears about making the Bloc the lynchpin of a coalition?
Did. Actually, Layton let it slip during a news conference. He said the NDP was prepared to consider a coalition with the Liberals following the election. And then back peddled furiously.
I'm kinda proud the kids got together to stand up to the bully. Good for them. As far as including separatists? They will be used by or use whatever party courts them, as long as they have seats.
Think people were upset about a coalition? Had they called an election so soon after the last, Harper probably would have gotten his majority government out of anger and apathy.
Harper's gotta go. For the good of his own party and for the good of Canada. He's a lightning rod. He refused to work with the opposition in the past and they don't want work with him in the future. Timeout - but he's out of options.
