Finally, Dion is Gone
So Stephane Dion, the embarrassed and utterly incompetent former Liberal Party leader has finally grown a set and did what was best for his party, not to mention what is best for Canada-he quit.
His reason?
When Dion originally announced his resignation after his humiliating defeat in the general election in October, he intended to leave in May of next year. But with national disdain of the forging of the the Liberal-NDP coalition (with the Bloc Quebecois in there with some veto power) and his party virtually imploding, the "great communicator" resigned on Monday. Now the Libs are running around with their heads cut off trying to find the best way to find a permanent leader before Parliament resumes Jan. 26.
All this uncertainty (well, not really; if a vote went tomorrow, the Conservatives would no doubt find themselves with a majority)
"Fully 60 per cent of those interviewed said they opposed replacing the government with Liberal-NDP coalition supported by the Bloc Quebecois, compared with 37 per cent who favoured the idea. Support for the coalition was highest in Quebec at 50 per cent, followed by 44 per cent in Atlantic Canada.
(What's up with Atlantic Canada?)
The poll indicates the prospect of the Dion-led coalition has prompted Canadians to rethink the value of an election so soon after the Oct. 14 poll. Fifty-six per cent said they would rather go to the polls than be governed by the coalition."
"...a clear consensus appears to be building in Canada, albeit to a lesser degree in Quebec, that Harper is doing the right thing by trying to hang on to power."
"Ironically...the prospect of a coalition government involving the Liberals, New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois may end up allowing Harper to get the majority government he wasn't able to get on his own on Oct. 14."
-Canwest News Service/Global National poll.
Some in the press are saying that Canadians are scared for the future of their country.
"...fear touches every region and demographic in the country. The rate was highest in Alberta at 90 per cent, and lowest in Quebec at 62 per cent."
Well why wouldn't they be with so-called leaders like the three stooges at the helm?
