Coalition / Politics / Dion

I am posting this in response to the public out burst of anger over the NDP - Liberal coalition government. They plan on over taking the Harper government which would bring Dion into the Prime Ministers chair.

I for one am not overly concerned with a coalition government. Maybe it will help the federal government get some work done. As you may not have noticed, Harper seems to be ignoring the biggest issue right now. The economy. He claims we are going to be fine, even while the businesses that make up this country come crashing down. OH! No Mr. Harper, we will be JUST fine... no need to panic yet, the TSX just lost several billion dollars.

No, the problem I have is who is going to lead this part. Mr. Stéphane Dion. Yup! The guy who brought the Liberal party to their knees. The guy who was the main reason the Liberal lost so much last election. The guy who was about to get his ass kicked out of the Liberal party because he did all that. Suddenly, he will become our Prime Minister? Only in Canada...

Another reason I am worried is because all of this is making the separatists scream out even louder. Western Canada and Quebec want out. Aren't we supposed to be proud to be Canadian? proud to be a part of Canada? Not anymore. I for one am ashamed to be Canadian. While I don't believe in separating to resolve our differences, we have a lot of work to do to get this country back on track. Slowly, Canada is being pulled apart at the seams, and sooner or later we will come apart and the sweater is ruined. (Anybody know a good seamstress?)

On a related note, as a member of CPTDB for almost 1 year, I have never seen our board fall apart as much as it has today. It's not so much the political topic, but the members right, it seems, to cry when they disagree with something. If you are going to be human, you need to get the f**k over the fact that somebody disagrees with what you said. Instead of politely sharing your thoughts, you have to close off a thread or personally attack another member. This is uncalled for and child like. Learn to be a little more understanding and you won't be killed in this world as fast.
