Not frickin here it ain't... filled up this afternoon at 84.9....

And yet another public service performed by your friendly neighbourhood thumperheads, in brightening an otherwise dull Monday morning. Chimo

Sorry Zip, but you did make the statement regarding elected PM. Which to my mind perpetuates the idea that we elect a PM directly. I get frustrated by the lack of understanding by some people of how the system operates. It may very well have been picking fly crap out of pepper, but this is one...

Wrong, wrong, wrong. I've said it before, there was no ballot that stated any of the leaders for the position of PM.  Granted there is voting along partisan lines, but we as a nation do not vote for the position of PM Per Se, and until there is reform to the electoral process, we won't. The...

Only if the following happens.......

Actually Dion was elected, as were Layton and Duccepe, now if it were May on the other hand. What people seem to forget is that the PM's office is filled by the leader of the party with the most seats in Parliament (for the most part). The Canadian system does not elect a PM. I must admit...

I think that the people of Quebec vote for the Bloc, as it is seen to represent their interests as a distinct society within Canada, rather than as an entity to separate from Canada (even though that was the initial mandate when the party formed). I believe that Mr. Harper with his talk of the...

Canada has had two coalition government in it's history, though never quite under circumstances like this. During the defeat of the Joe Clark government the GG of the time stated he was waiting to hear if the opposition had a plan to for a coalition government...

While he was "invited", the invitation was sent to him in error, due to a similarity in names of members. The following link to an earlier post states the CC of C , and I believe that the operative wording in part 2 is intent...

So having the accord just adds strength to their position. Being as all three of the opposition leaders signature blocks were on the letter sent to then GG I submit that an accord had been reached, just not formalized.
