hello, hey you hiding under a rock.

What was all this hoopla back in December to cause the country to come to a halt, and the Liberals,Bloc and NDP has not enough back bone to carry out there intentions. I'm sorry but this will be the final stake through the Liberal party. Old Pierre must be spinning in his grave. The parties, must have known that helmet head Harper will take it down to a budget issue.

This will definitely be written in the history books for our grandchildren to read about. It just does not make sense. All Dion had to do was bow out gracefully and take it like a man and said, "We do need a better national leader, I have failed the party therefore I resign." Instead of trying to weasel in to be in power.

Why would us guys in BC,Alberta,Sask, and even Manitoba, would want the Bloc having that much power. Basically the Liberal Party has told Western Canada, that we will sell you off to save Eastern Canada.
The new Liberal Party has to find a way to earn our trust in the west.

What new Liberal Party would you be talking about *He Speaks* The only thing new in the party is their *Icabod Crane* school teacher leader, who spent 25 years out of the Country and then came back to Canada, to become our **Great Leader**

What a crock. Those greasy Liberals should be left exactly where they are, in cahoots with the NDP, and in Opposition.

They have done nothing to earn the respect of Canadian voters.

It's Finlay, not Findlay. Named for the Finlay River, named for an early explorer who never actually went all the way up that river, but was a member of a party that camped at the forks (Parsnip/Finlay/Peace) on their way South.

The federal Liberals do exactly what the Conservative
Reform
Alliance
Party does and that is plactate the largest voting block & that is Ontario & Quebec.
None of us would have been hung up about the coalition if had been a different party from Quebec like the socreds back in the Joe who days
