Liberals MPs Are Starting To Defect.
As Liberal MPs slowly realize they have been drawn into political suicide by the Three Stooges, we’ll be seeing a lot more of this in the coming days… they realize that an election is a distinct possibility in the near future and that supporting the “coalition” will cost them their seat.
Frank Valeriote does not favour a coalition government and instead hopes Prime Minister Stephen Harper can work toward rescuing the Canadian economy.
“I believe in working toward a solution, not working toward a coalition,” Guelph’s Liberal MP said Wednesday.
Valeriote added he does not believe a Liberal-NDP coalition, with support from the Bloc Quebecois, will unseat the Tories.
“I have given no thought to that,” Valeriote said when asked whether he saw himself in a cabinet role under such an arrangement. “I am not, frankly, anticipating moving into government.”
I wonder if this has anything to do with the change of heart?
Your calls to your MPs do work and these people are sensitive to when their livelihoods are concerned.
Keep calling, emailing, faxing and posting.

I am as much a conservative as the next person, but I think it’s a premature to start coming to such conclusions, ie; “Liberals MPs Are Starting To Defect.”
We don’t add to the quality of Canadian political discourse with such posts. On a personal note, I would love to see some liberals start to question the current situation, and maybe sit out as independents if they feel convicted to do so. However we should be very carefull with our words.
Some of the politics is starting to get nauseating, it has been one emotional week for me and my fam with all the news.

No Liberals need to defect.
Liberals just have to remove Dion as interm leader, now.
This boneheaded coalition has driven Westerners into overdrive,
and placed federalist Quebecers in the middle of a fight they did not ask for, nor deserve.
Dump Dion, NOW
