Couple of points...
The Star is reporting that Harper is set to address the nation on television tonight. I'm assuming this would be a press conference...? (Canada doesn't do Oval Office type infomercials does it?)
Interesting Constitution overview in today's Star: http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/5...
The author ends it with, "I am greatly concerned that there is so little public knowledge of the constitutional rules that govern our parliamentary system of government." A quick look at some of the Star's letters to the Ed today certainly bear out that concern...
Frank, I have to second Earnest's rejoinder. I don't mind a rant but seriously, did you even read Ryan's post? "they cried foul, cast accusations and began working together to wrest "power" from the party that clearly received a mandate to govern" Re-read the blog - the Conservatives didn't receive a mandate to govern. And as for, "Calling or assuming that someone's less intelligent for not supporting your viewpoint demonstrates a certain level of intellect." Perhaps you can be specific. The whole idea of this discussion is that we're all trying to become more intelligent about this.
Finally, about the Bloc, I read an article a while back that suggested that all provinces should form a local federal party that could represent their interests at the federal level. Canada is just a 'coalition' of regions after all. As has been noted in other comments, the Bloc are not going to force any seperatist motions so they just become a regional party. That's great for Quebec and perhaps it's something that other regions should think about getting in on.
Cheers
Ben Bull. Cap'n Bully has a new Blog! http://bullysmoviereviews.blogspot.ca/ or something like that.
