My two cents:

I do not like Stephen Harper or the Conservatives. I like Stephane Dion and the Liberals less.

The election is only 6 weeks past, another election is stupid. The Conservatives (even though a minority) won more seats than last time, while Liberals and NDP both lost seats, so it seems voters were more comfortable with them in charge than the oppositions. All this posturing just seems to me sour grapes by eastern parties who are both in shambles, both politically and finacially. The voters had their say and picked the Conservatives - let it be and get on with the process of governing, not trying to run end-plays around the voters and seize control of parliament by parties not given a mandate to govern.

End rant.
