Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Think about it. If you have a strong opinion or belief that can only be expressed by having a certain party in power, you would want that party in power any way possible. For instance, I don't want the Green Party in power, because at times they wanted to do things like, "ban fishing" and "ban hunting" and would tax us to our graves. I'm for the environment, but not if WE die of starvation instead.
Only 4000 more explorer points to go!
ANY way possible?
*imagines NDP-fans planting a bomb in Stephen Harper's house*
Obviously, whoever supports the Liberals or NDP would support the coalition, because they would want their party in power any way possible.
I myself am in favour of the Liberal and NDP coalition… *hides*
Ah, so you didn't die.
Life in the universe is going quite fine, Charizard Morph.
The only problem is how slow dial-up is.
And how confusing the Canadian government has become.
And how I don't have a space shuttle.
And the fact that woodchucks can't chuck wood.
Cool!
I've been on a MD2 spree lately. I picked up the game and started playing it yesterday, and haven't put it down since. I only need about 9000 exploration points till I reach master rank!
I don't need to know much about the Canadian government specifically to discuss the mechanics of government. About the various parties, I asked a few people I know in Canada.
Quaete, it just needs Platinum sprites, that's all.
By the way opaltiger, how do you know so much about Canadian government?
It's perfectly legal, but it seems unfair, since we had already elected our government.
Whadda you mean? Be more specific.
What is wrong with the sprite generator?
Hmmm, the chewy half cooked awsomeness of teh guestbook. I haven't been here forever.
how's life in the univers?
"Yes, we did, but tht means that they'd overpower the Conservatives WITHOUT A VOTE"
No! No it doesn't! People elect the members of parliament: they have no control over what they do; they must simply trust that they will do as promised. If two parties think it is in the best interests of their voters, there is nothing stopping them from forming a majority government.
You elect MPs, trusting them to represent you in parliament. The parties these MPs belong to decide it's in their best interests to form a coalition. They do so. Sure, you didn't vote for it directly, but if you want a direct vote on everything you will get nowhere fast.
SWEET. I cannot wait for Platinum. :3 So. An update is always good. ^^
The Liberals didn't lose; Stephan Dion did. The Liberals themselves didn't want to push the carbon tax; but Dion did anyway. If he hadn't, then the Liberals probably would have increased their chances of winning.
Yes, we did, but tht means that they'd overpower the Conservatives WITHOUT A VOTE. It almost wants you to say, "What was the point of voting, if the parties WE DIDN'T ELECT are now going to overpower the Conservatives? We voted, doesn't our vote matter?
Neat little fact: Alberta is most proud of Canada, Quebec is least. No duh.
Canada is most proud of:
1. Our flag.
2. Our military.
3. Hockey!
Canada is least proud of:
1. Parliament.
2. Royal government.
I've never heard that about Le Bloc. All I've heard was that they wanted to separate from Canada, and quite frankly I don't like that idea.
And yeah, I don't understand why we put Stephen Harper back in charge. I thought for sure Liberals were going to win… v_v
Well, no, there was a vote. You voted in the elections, and you elected the members of parliament from different parties. If two of these parties want to form a coalition, it's perfectly within their power to do so - you elected the MPs, now they're going to do the politicking.That's just how it works.
Whee, an update!
Normally, there's nothing wrong with a coalition. The problem, is that if the coalition is formed, the party would immediately overpower the Conservatives, WITHOUT a vote.
