Harper played all his cards masterly:
1- He knew a coalition was in the works and decided to expose it and at the same time create/awake Canadians on a few of his pet projects for the not so distant future:
A- The Political party taxpayer funds: Canadians have now been polled on that and the response? 61% oppose it. Now ask yourself if the MSM would of arbitrerally done a poll on that without this “crisis”?
B- The question of Quebec and how much appetite they have in separation these days. Harper knew Charest’s Liberals were heading towards a majority. After MSM keeps fireing that there will be a Quebec backlash, Charest is still poised to get his majority on monday. Harper is furious at Quebec for having denied his own majority but more so, angry at a hand full of oppertunists: Duceppe, Parizeau, Marois and others who know Quebec is no longer going or even thinking/justifying to separate but keeps brainwashing it’s overly emotional and often illogical electorate into voting Bloc. Duceppe does it with over 3 million $’s of Fed money using a bus to go through every single town more than once in many cases and lots of french airwave time. If Quebecers were truly “dissatisfied” with Canada and Harper after the last Fed election like it would seem the result of a majority Bloc seats would attest, the Partie Quebecois should logically be the front runners and should at least win a minority on Monday.
Some will debate that Quebecers now vote Bloc for purely “Defending the interests of Quebec” at the Federal level without actually wanting independance. Without saying this is’nt true because it is, then logically and fairly, the Bloc should say loud and clear that it is no longer in pursuit of Quebec separation. Duceppe was loud and clear yesterday: “This coalition brings Quebec closer to it’s goal of souverenism”.
This is where Harper draws the line: Quebec is purely blackmailing Canada for selfish gain.
So this week the PM has awaken the citizens of this land: No more silence towards Quebec. This political correctness has gone too far. The school yard bully must get a swiff kick in the behind once and for all. You either play the game by the rules, or you become isolated. Canadians have spoken and the MSM cannot say it is only Harper. Quebecers have received the message loud and clear. Harper will continue to stir it up: Just yesterday, after meeting with the GG (BTW, a French Quebecer with ex separatist sympathies denied power to a Bloc participating coalition: Should’nt that alone propel the Partie Quebecois to at least closer to power next Monday?) Harper said loud and clear he reaches for the “two other Federalist parties to work on the budget” deliberately excluding the Bloc.
Briefly what happened this week because PM Harper is a master strategist and the opposition are only interested in power at all cost:
- The opposition has been exposed for being power mongers only and the MSM could not spin it otherwise: A big majority of citizens were clear: NO COALITION GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER.
- Quebec has been told by Canadian to smarten up. We are not going to take the threats anymore.
- The political party public funding is unnaceptable.
- Labour unions in government better thread carefully. They are not royalty. Belt thightening is for everyone in tough times. Especially so for servants of the population.
Conclusion:
-I see some floor crossing soon. Liberals to Conservative ranks. I would not be surprized (And it would be smart for him) Ignatieff moves with a Government role in the front bench.
- The coalition will die before year’s end and Rae has just kissed him wanting to coming back into politics goodbye by declaring himself the coalition “leader”.
- Jan. 26 budget will not contain massive spending like Layton and Dion wants. We will have the already tabled infrastructure dollars and a few stimulus to auto and forestry more so in the form of worker career retraining: Can’t build cars or houses nobody wants.
I suspect the political public financing to parties will be in it but with a more consilatory phase out instead of initial Apr 09 cut off.
Public labour unions will also be put on notice with maybe a bit less of a time frame for strike ban.
If an election is triggered anyway by budget defeat, The Conservatives, based on today’s standing are poised to win a majority with extra seats coming from BC, Toronto and even Montreal where Liberals will go Conservatives.
With or without Quebec, a majority is imminent.
Dion and Layton are toast.
And finally, unlike the MSM would like you to believe, Stephen Harper’s leadership and role as Conservative boss is not in danger.Like the french would say, “Au contraire”.

I couldn’t of done better myself. Now a copy needs to be sent to the cast….after the comments by Ed Broadbent in the Globe & Mail, he needs to be first on the list along with his Jacka$$ puppet.

I don’t believe Prime Minister Harper foresaw the reaction of cornered rats to his proposal to cut public subsidies to political parties. I also think he was lucky to get Parliament prorogued – it took him two hours it seems to persuade the G.G.
I am glad the 3 amigos are now shown to be the desperados they are, but the cost has been loss of support in Quebec. Dion has lost all credibility after that video affair, however.

“…but the cost has been loss of support in Quebec…”
Where do you get this other than the MSM? Charest is still going to get his majority monday…if Quebecers were that angry, the party Quebecois would be way up in the polls.
Mark my words, Harper will get majority next time, with or without Qc. and keep in mind that Montreal, a mostly Liberal city has been betrayed. Montreal uisually votes Liberal because they don’t want separatism. The only viable centrist national party now are the Conservatives.
