If its a federal government then it has to take into account Western and Alberta concerns and not completely put Ontario and Quebec's concerns over top of our needs. Otherwise you might as well just call Canada a Ontario dominated government.

And while elections may be based stupididly on rep by pop, you can't base running the country on that.
If representation by population is such a stupid idea, how would you do it?

Thats the problem, its never going to happen as we can see now. the Liberal's have never even tried rapproachment with the Conservatives, instead taking the opening pop shots at the Conservatives in the event for the election.
If you weren't so blinded by your seething hatred of all things Liberal, you would have seen that the budget was written in such a manner to get the CPC's support (corporate tax cuts, etc.). It was only after Harper said he was going to try to bring the government down anyway that the Liberals changed it to try to get the NDP to help pass it.

press - will you try to work with the conservatives over the possibility of a vote of non confident

Liberals - Those evil conservative bas**rds are trying to privatize health care while carting homosexuals off to consentration camps.
Please.

Also the Liberals were totally in favor of opening our wallets to appease the wack jobs in the NDP. Trading tax cuts for more stupid and un neccesary spending in order to keep thier grip on power.
See my point above. That only resulted because Harper was so desperate to gain power himself, and the original Conservative-friendly budget fell by the wayside once Harper said he wasn't going to support it afterall.
