I am dead against what these 3 parties are doing, it's unconstitutional and will divide this country more.
it is NOT unconstitutional.
o.k I only learned about this topic yesterday and went off thinking the worse when I heard the hype spread by the Harperites about the Bloc PQ.
This is not unprescidented in Canadian politics. This is just a vote of no confidence motion.
After the 1925 election, Mackenzie King could maintain his majority only with their support of the Progressives. The Liberals lost a vote of confidence the following year. The Governor General refused King's request to dissolve Parliament and called on Arthur Meighen, Leader of the Opposition to form the government. However, this lasted only four days, until King called for a vote on the constitutional right of Meighen to govern. The Conservatives lost the vote and an election was called.
Dion's action may very well just force Canada into "another" election and millions more spent, unless this time the Governor General allows this action.
I still wish the NDP and Liberals would just officially merge into one political party and not remain two entities in a coalition.
The Bloc is only giving the NDP/Liberal coalition support in offering votes in the House to get this motion passed, other than that the Bloc is not part of the coalition.
So with this new knowledge and a more enlighten view of what is going on...
I have no opinion (not for and not against), just watching the show...
