Well, here we go again. Canadian politics at its worse.

For the record, I am against the idea of a coalition, specifically because of the timing. We just had an election! Why should my vote be nullified? None of these yahoo parties were able to win a majority for numerous reasons. Those reasons haven't magically disappeared since then. They lost. It happens. They should be rebuilding and strengthening their party for the next election instead of doing this power grab.

Do I like Stephen Harper? No. I find him a cold, rigid, annoying micro-manager. But his party won fairly, and so he deserves to run the country until his own party or the people of Canada say otherwise. To have Dion parachuted in as PM until May is utterly ridiculous. This is a guy who was so unpopular that his own party was forcing him to step down.

This coalition has nothing to do with the economy. The NDP & Liberals probably didn't have the funds or patience for another election. This way is much easier for them to get to power. The Bloc? Come on, they don't care either way. Duceppe probably signed on just to create more friction.

As much as I loathe going to the polls...I would rather vote again than have no say at all.
