The 40th Parliament (R.I.P.P.)
The Prime Minister, through the Finance Minister, dropped the ball so badly during his so-called economic update to the point where it united all the Opposition parties to form a working Coalition to present an alternative Government to the Governor-General. Despite Conservative, and others (including my mother) hysterics and untruths this is all legal in our Westminister Parliamentary system and I'm not opposed to the Governor-General looking at all options. Mr. Harper has lost the confidence of the House of Commons and should face a vote in the House. Now that he's prorogued Parliament until January 26, 2009 maybe the Liberals can expedite their leadership convention and have a new leader in place by the time Parliament re-opens. If we get an election, so be it. Though the thought of a Coalition is compelling.
FYI - RIPP means rest in partisan pieces
