The opposition parties are so consumed with getting the power they don't deserve, that they have forgotten about the most important aspect of this whole thing. The citizens of this Country. All of us. Everyone that calls themselves a Canadian should be outraged and offended. This is not about language, or religion, or territory. This is about money, and power. Jack Layton had no intentions of working with the elected Prime Minister, that is evident from working out the deal with the Bloc a long time ago. He's not a good loser, but a big loser.
Taking away the money for votes would cause major financial problems for the opposition, but it is the right thing to do for the citizens of the Country. Especially when the Bloc also receives this funding. There is no way that Canadians should be funding a party that has no candidates outside of Quebec. The Bloc's mandate is to separate Quebec from Canada, how can they expect the rest of Canada to fund that? At the very least that needs to change.
Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote in an election of members of the House of Commons or of a legislative assembly and to be qualified for membership therein.
That is taken right from the Constitution of Canada, and is our right as Canadians. That is the LAW. How is the coalition ensuring that Canadians rights are protected? They are not, and our rights are the last thing on their mind. The voters of this great Country did not choose to put them in power and they have no right to have it, by any means other than another election. We would prefer not to be facing all this B.S. and get on with our lives, but going back to the polls is preferable to the alternative.
