Wow - been away for a few days and the site goes all political. [8D]
Anyway, here is my take on what has happened.
As a member of the Conservative Party of Canada, I have a few friends in "high places". Much of this is from these sources.
The unholy alliance was being put together as a Plan B even before the last election was over. Our guys knew about this, and this is why the economic statement contained the poison pills of stripping out public financing of political parties, and the other items they are complaining about.
It forced the oppositions hand to come out long before they were ready. As a result, they were disorganised (as you no doubt have noticed). Their original plan was to come out sometime in the Spring after the budget was released. Instead, they took Harpers bait and swallowed it whole.
Make no mistake - Harper knew the reaction he would get with the poison pills. It was force them to go now, or wait until the opposition was ready to make their play for government.
Here is a photo of me with Mrs. Harper
Here I am with former Prime Minister Kim Campbell
Here is a photo of Prime Minister Stephan Harper that I took in Vancouver during an announcemet on the envirornment.
Stephan Harper is the best person to lead this country through the next few years, I have no doubt about that.
Also, for you hunters and shooters: I talked with Stockwell Day during the election. The firearms registry would have been dead by now if the Conservatives had won a majority government. Think about that next time you vote. The only thing stopping them from killing the gun registry is the Liberal/NDP opposition.
