Well, it looks like Canadian politics is about to get interesting.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is using his latest "economic statement" in the midst of what's looking like the biggest economic meltdown since the 1930's depression to push through some very right-wing policies.
According to the latest from the CBC, negotiations are underway between former Prime Minister Jean Chretien and former NDP leader Ed Broadbent around the possibility of defeating the government and forming a Liberal/NDP coalition with the tacit support of the Bloc Quebecois.
It's very clear that in order to avoid a major economic disaster, we need a government that's willing to bring in some expansionist "New Deal" type economic policies.
Harper and Flaherty have made it clear that a "New Deal" isn't on.
Putting Harper and Flaherty out of business would be the best gift the opposition parties could give Canadians this holiday season! Afterall, in the last election 62% of Canadians didn't vote for these folks.

totally true bob. It's actually really exciting, let's hope that layton can put aside his ego for two seconds and that the liberals don't end up going with the flow.
