| No mandate for Liberal-NDP-Separatist Backroom coalition
December 01, 2008
On October 14, 2008 Canadians rendered a clear judgment in the Federal Election. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives promised strong, certain leadership to protect Canada’s future in a time of unprecedented turmoil. Canadians passed judgment on Stephen Harper when they awarded the Conservative Party a strengthened mandate. In the same election Stéphane Dion and the Liberals promised a massive new carbon tax that would strangle Canada’s economy. Canadians passed judgment on the Stéphane Dion and the Liberals who received their lowest public support since Confederation. In the same election voters passed judgment on Jack Layton and the NDP who once again peddled and outdated socialist ideology and put thousands of jobs at risk by driving up taxes by tens of billions of dollars. Canadians passed judgment on Jack Layton and the NDP who were relegated to a distant fourth in the House of Commons. Voters offered no mandate to Stéphane Dion and the Liberals to govern the country. They offered no mandate to Jack Layton and the NDP to influence the economy. Voters offered no mandate for the Liberals and NDP to form a coalition government – and in fact, the Liberals ran against such an arrangement. And voters certainly offered no mandate for the Liberals and NDP to form a formal coalition with the separatist Bloc Quebecois - a movement dedicated to the destruction of the country. Yet that is what the opposition are promising. A government led by Prime Minister Stéphane Dion. The socialist NDP running the economy. And Bloc Quebecois having a veto over all policies while they continue to destroy Canada. It is the opposition’s choice to oppose the government. It is their choice to embrace Quebec Separatists. But not with out a mandate. The Liberals, NDP and separatist must first face the Canadian voters. Otherwise any coalition will be an illegitimate regime without any mandate to govern. |
