Again, right now, there is only ONE coalition (see above) and the current coalition is not acting in the best interest of Canadians.
Social Studies 101 is now dismissed.
Anyways .... back to the original point of the thread.... If you support what the Conservative government is doing, please attend this rally. If you don't, I hope you went to the Pro-coalition rally yesterday.... but I suspect not since I heard there were only 50 to 70 people attending.
Lets get a huge turn-out ok? Show the rest of Canada that we support our PM Stephen Harper (a Calgary Flames fan I might add).  |
Social Studies 101 eh?? Ohhhh, you are sooo smart!
Of course the Conservatives are part of a coalition (IF they want to hold power). Of course they have relied on an informal coalition (with a minority cabinet) so far, versus a formal coalition (with a coalition majority cabinet), but that makes it no less of a coalition.
They need votes from outside the party to hold power/survive a confidence vote. Some other party has to vote along with them, whether it be NDP, Liberal or Bloc.
If they had a majority government the current situation would not be possible.
And if the Conservatives themselves had better grasped this and better played with one of the others (like forming a formal coalition, versus aligning the interests of all other parties against them) none of this would have happened.
A whole lot of group-think going on out West it seems....
