According to Nationalnewswatch, the support for the Conservative Party seems to have climbed well above the 30% that it had slipped to after the election. I think that one of the most memorable things about Stephane Dion's speech last night was his plea that Stephen Harper be mature and accepting of what was to be an imminent defeat, and then remembering Dion's behaviour towards CTV's Graham Richardson (I think it was him, not 100% sure) after the election in October. Hypocrasy. <BR/>JeffC: Do you think it's easy being a videographer?Paul MacPhailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02079670609811458582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933783.post-38004375398684300512008-12-04T22:48:00.000-04:002008-12-04T22:48:00.000-04:00Considering his polling numbers, it might not be that long until he has the NEEDED majority!!Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10988379474955463522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933783.post-59302344522481777142008-12-04T21:30:00.000-04:002008-12-04T21:30:00.000-04:00Can someone tell me when they were planning on dismissing for the Christmas holidays??I'm getting awfully pissed off about the people screaming that he's LOCKED the doors of parliament for 2 months!!! Anyway...carry on PMSH..not too many people realize or appreciate your commitment to this country. Your agenda may be TOO optimistic but for people who know your history and your unfailing love of Canada..they realize that you will put the country ahead of your ambitions. it's a pity how many people have no idea about who this man really is because they're so convinced he's the devil incarnate. Please people...grow up!caz58@shaw.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933783.post-29775073209459333052008-12-04T17:27:00.000-04:002008-12-04T17:27:00.000-04:00Where do the Quebec Federalists go now? The Liberal and NDP parties have shown that a separatist agenda is OK as long as they are the ones in power. I don't think this will bode well for either of them.<BR/><BR/>In the west, I don't doubt that both will see significant reductions in both popular vote and seat count.<BR/><BR/>Harper has not said he will not face a vote.. he has said they will face a vote over the budget, just 6 short weeks from now. In the meantime, keeping this coalition together is going to be a challenge to say the least.<BR/><BR/>WayneWaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04526010176921637247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933783.post-72460361900169828762008-12-04T17:19:00.000-04:002008-12-04T17:19:00.000-04:00I think Harper proved that he is not just a political oppritunist. By supposedy (it remains to be seen) destroying his chances in Quebec, he is telling the nation that there are more important things that power...He is actually putting Canada ahead of his own personal gain...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933783.post-11765423675001510972008-12-04T16:27:00.000-04:002008-12-04T16:27:00.000-04:00Harper bought himself some time to work out something to make this parliament last. For how long? I don't think anyone doubts it will be very short. But Conservatives are going to pay a high price for Harper being able to stay as Prime Minister for this short period. Kiss goodbye your rebuilding efforts in Quebec and with it any hope of forming a majority government for a very long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933783.post-90613642167402486602008-12-04T16:08:00.000-04:002008-12-04T16:08:00.000-04:00Some excellent points.
