Great column in today's Windsor Star re this whole mess.

I'm sick to my stomach to think I voted for Windsor West Dipper Brian Masse in October. I did so believing he could do little harm as an MP for a party that had no chance of gaining power. Little did I know I was voting for an organization that would sell its first-born to secure a place on the inside.

That's what we learned over the weekend with Layton's conference call admission that he struck a coalition deal with the Bloc prior to last week's fiscal update by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty which provided the pretext for the coup. Layton has sold his soul to a party whose sole purpose (apart from collecting juicy indexed pensions from the country they hate) is the destruction of Canada, and that's unforgivable.

Flaherty has backed off on some of his more contentious proposals, especially one which threatened taxpayer handouts to all parties, and promised economic stimulus in a Jan. 27 budget. So why wasn't that accepted? Why are the plotters still conspiring? Because this was never about economic stimulus. It was about the only stimulus that quickens the blood of self-serving politicians, that of becoming top dog and gaining a place, however slim, in the history books.

Why wouldn't the NDP and Liberals wait until they see the stimulus details in Flaherty's budget? Why wouldn't they wait until the inauguration of Barack Obama so Canada and the U.S. can tackle this meltdown in tandem? Why wouldn't they wait until there's clarity in the survival plans of the Big Three?

Why? Because these self-serving, screw-the-voter, Canada-stabbing opportunists think they can get away with it now. Plain and simple.
Brilliant!
