    He once denounced Joe Clark for losing his 1979 minority on the basis of a gasoline tax that the Tory leader had not campaigned on. “You can be principled without being stupid,” Mr. Harper said of Mr. Clark. But last week Mr. Harper proceeded to do a similar thing.


    What a hypocrite!

    Nah, he just fell into the trap that all bullies fall into - figuring that they can get away with it forever. On this, he was cocky and arrogant before hypocritical. It pleases me to no end that he's being nailed to his own cross.

    The only question now is: what will he do to stop the vote on Monday?

    ...the constitution says it's within his power to suspend parliament just like the constitution says the other parties can ask to form a coalition.
    So don't cry if he does.

    I know you won't read this mullet boy :P

    I think Joe had the burden of the nafta and gst on his shoulders when he took power,it wasnt popular and he took the hit for it.

    Didnt the libs drag someone from intensive care in to help vote him out also or was it a guy in a wheelchair?

    Joe was also respected in the house of commons by all members.

    NAFTA came into play with Mulroney and the GST didn't come to life until January 1991

    Suspend Parliament?

    In seriousness, I almost hope he does. He'll have to come to a vote sometime, be it on Monday or in January or in February, as he won't be able to do anything unless he does. The harder he fights, and the more tricks he pulls to delay the vote, the greater the credibility of the coalition becomes.

    When there's a full budget on the table that reflects the decisions made in Obamas plan and the CCC votes it down that will look grand won't it.
    It'll just be further proof of a power grab.
