Liberal Party was the one to put "A" in Autocratic, Not Harper

Great piece in the post from Rex Murphy:

Why are we having an election? According to the Liberals, it’s because Stephen Harper is choking Canadian democracy, and, most of all, because he treats Parliament with contempt. That’s ripe from the Liberal party. When it enjoyed unrivalled electoral sway, as it seemingly did forever, it inscribed the A in Autocratic. It was led by Pierre Trudeau, who thought so much of Parliament that he described its elected members as “nobodies.”


When last in power, the Liberal party went on for a full year about fixing the parliamentary “democratic deficit” without of course actually doing anything about it. Any party with Jean Chrétien at its helm for 10 years knows more than a little about playing roughhouse with the House of Commons, and has grown totally comfortable with the art of neutering its own backbench. It’s because of this history, as much as anything else, that the Liberals’ claim that the election is about restoring democracy has no force behind it.

The Election for a Majority

The feeling here in Ottawa where I live is that it's a majority for Harper or a Coalition majority.

It seems most Canadians want the Liberal party to come clean and let the public know if they are planning on forming a coalition government, otherwise it's rather hypocritical to point the finger and chastise Harper for being undemocratic.

There also seems to be some rather naive Liberal supporters who seem to think that the Liberal party would never stoop so low as to actually give the Bloc any powers, even though the signed coalition document specifically states that the Bloc would be given veto powers, on anything to do with Quebec and otherwise.  Wake up people!  How much tax dollars do you suppose will be going towards arenas and all sorts of pet projects for Quebec?

People should also realize that if the Liberals get in and form a coalition government (which they haven't denied), any Member of Parliament from the Conservative party would not be permitted to be part of that government.  So you can basically shut out 90% of the west from this new government.  So we'd have what?  A government of Toronto and Quebec, with sprinkles of BC and Atlantic Canada? I highly doubt Alberta or any other western province is going to stand for being shut out.  This would not bode well for unity in Canada.  But the opposition parties seem uninterested in this.  In fact, they seem uninterested in anything BUT themselves.

It is my hope that unlike previous elections, more Canadians will take an interest in voting in this election and give a majority government to the Conservative Party.
