Over the past week, various political parties in Canada have been planning nothing short of a political coup. By using the economy as a smokescreen, NDP leader Jack Layton has been making backroom deals with the leaders of the Bloc Quebecois and Liberal Party.
From the CBC:
The NDP and Liberals have reached a deal to topple the minority Conservative government and take power themselves in a coalition, CBC News has learned.
A deal has been negotiated between NDP Leader Jack Layton and Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion that would see them form a coalition government for two and a half years, the CBC's Keith Boag reported, citing sources.
Layton: The Loser
The report goes on to say that Liberal leader Stephane Dion believes he has the right to be the prime minister. Though the Bloc Quebecois wouldn't get any cabinet seats, a CTV report said tonight that the Bloc would have "influence" in the new government.More from the Canadian Press:
A budding coalition between New Democrats, the separatist Bloc Quebecois and Liberals is an exercise in nation building, NDP Leader Jack Layton told his caucus in a conference call covertly recorded by the government.
Layton's national unity musings were secretly recorded Saturday by the Conservatives. They held the tape for a day and then had an official from the Prime Minister's Office deliver it to various media on Sunday.
"The 'Coalition for Canada,' I love the idea - (but it) could be a deal-breaker for the Bloc," Layton is heard saying to laughter.
"'The Coalition for Canada and Quebec?"' he adds, to more laughter.
Yes, very funny. Two parties that lost by a landslide are yucking it up at sharing power with a Bloc party which exists solely to separate from Canada. Laughter all around. News for you, Jack: no need for nation building. There's already a nation called "Canada." It held an election in October. You lost.
Remember what their supposed reasons are for this coup: they want a "stimulus package" from the Conservatives, and the Conservatives can't give them one to their liking. The Conservatives also wanted to cut off the $30 million of taxpayer money that is paid to political party campaigns each year.
Well, that just won't do. Better to plan an overthrow of the government then to foot your own party bills. No taxpayer money? No confidence vote.
More from Layton:
"What we really want is just to get Harper out and get this new group in because it's going to be a hell of a lot better for everything we believe in. Correct? Correct!"
And he warned his caucus not to be defensive because the coalition represents the majority of Canadian voters.
"You can see where Harper's going here," said Layton.
"He's going to say its the socialists and the separatists and the opportunists getting together. Those are their talking points and so we just need to push back."
Actually, Jack, how is that last bit incorrect? The socialists, the separatists and the opportunists are getting together. That's the whole point of your backroom deals.
He might think every Canadian is a fool, but I'm not one of them. Jack Layton, pig of a politician, is as transparent as cellophane. His hunger for power and the money trough outweighs any party loyalty or vision. Six weeks ago, his party won only 37 seats in the national election. 6 weeks later and he is suddenly King maker. How the time does fly.
Will no one stand up to this demagogue? This petty little pantywaist of a bureaucrat?
Dion: "I failed."
I wish I knew the exact moment that we as Canadians became so beholden to losers? That's what Jack Layton is: a loser. Out of the 4 major political parties in the country, his came in 13 votes behind the Bloc Quebecois, a party that wishes it didn't belong to Canada.This fiasco is not the fault of any budget crisis, or a Conservative "stimulus package." It is about a man who lost an election in a massive landslide, and now sees a great opportunity to prey off his fellow Canadians' fears. He's drumming up fear of the economy in order to overthrow an elected government and steal political power. Our votes meant nothing to him. Nothing. He is a small-time hood, an extra in the Sopranos, a dictator in sheep's clothing. If you disagree, then tell me who else but a wanna-be dictator loses an election, ignores the people's votes, and immediately schemes to take power by other means?
And what about his henchman, Stephane Dion? Five weeks ago the word was he would have to step down as Liberal leader. He himself said he had "failed" and would step down next year. He led his party to its worst election returns in 141 years. Now he feels he is entitled to be the prime minister. He is a shameful politician, another loser on parade. He deserves ridicule and disrespect.
Are we idiots? These pigs seem to think so. So do the press, who mention this coup for five minutes and then move on to the weather.
Don't let them prove we're fools. Our voice matters, no matter what they say when they think we can't hear them.
