Throughout this entire time, the Liberals and NDP have done nothing but run smear campaigns and attempt to make everyone afraid of the Conservatives during an election, and then try to wrestle power away from the Conservatives after the elections.
I can not remember the last time a Liberal (or NDP) party had a single, solid idea that benefited this entire country. All they do is piss and moan and demand that they have the power.
Here we are in the beginning stages of what may very-well be the next Great Depression and what are they doing? Instead of working together like the Conservatives asked for, they are climbing all over themselves to STILL try to wrestle power back into their hands.
The worst part, is their own parties are a complete mess. They don't even have worthwhile party leadership, so they have to turn to one of the most hated PMs in our history to help them... and yet they actually think they'll be able to lead Canada through the Global Financial Crisis?
They can't even lead themselves to the supermarket without spending taxpayer's money, and instead of recognizing that and working WITH the Conservatives, they are willing to throw the entire country under their bus just to get power.
For the record, this is exactly why they haven't been able to ELECTIVELY form a Government during the last two elections.

Wow, take off the blinders. This was a power play by the Conservatives, end of story. Even other conservatives in this thread have admitted this was a move to test the Libs and see if they'd roll over without a fight. Taking away the subsidies has almost nothign to do with fighting a rescission, and everythign to do with testing the power of thier minority government.
Do you expect the other parties to just accept anything that's put forward in the name of making government work?
It's their responsibility to respresent their voters and ensure the Conservatives pull a little closer to the center and don't pull arrogant tricks like this one.
Well done to the other parties
