I have no further justification... the justification is politics because that is the game being played in Ottawa right now.
Completely not true. He approached them to topple the government in a non-confidence motion. That's all. Not to jury-rig a crazy coalition government with no elected leader.

The reason that I ask the question is, I always hear Dippers piss and moan about social situations, cuts to public funding etc.. but without a clear economic solution except... well government needs to do more or isn't doing enough.

I am curious as to how you think money goes in and out of the government's coffers and if you think things like overtaxation are justified.
