Disgusting decision, disgusting politics and a disgusting anti-democratic precedent set by Her Excellency.
Today is a terrible day to be Canadian, a terrible day for Canada and a terrible day for democracy.

Not liking who was elected does not mean keeping it is undemocratic. We all put up with the liberals for years. Didn't like it, but didn't get this bent out of shape about it. Putting off a vote that would topple a brand new, democratically elected government is not undemocratice. The result of this sets nothing back economically, as the budget will be delivered the same day it was always supposed to (possibly a day early). All it does is leave time for those involved in the coalition power grab to be forced to face the people who elected them (on the promise that a coalition would not form) before they get the chance. Will it change anything? Probably not. They seem pretty sure of themselves, and they certainly don't seem to care what canadians want or what is best for the country. But at least it gives a chance for the wishes of canadians to be heard.
