So it kinda sounds like there is a coup brewing! However, as this is Canada, the heavy arms and storming of parliament are replaced by late night nicey-nice meetings fueled by Tim Horton’s finest. The NDP & the Liberals have already gone ahead and hammered out a stimulus package and are ready to take the reigns from Harper’s clenched white fist should Governor General Michaelle Jean give them the nod.
Hang on……… Didn’t we just vote in October? Why did we even bother if the opposition parties were just going to say “Naw, fuck it, lets chase him out with a stick and do it ourselves. Who gives a shit how people voted.” Don’t get me wrong here, I DIDN’T vote for Harper so I’m not pissed about the possibility of him being run out because I want him and his sweaters in charge, I pissed on principal and I’m pissed because these guys can’t seem to get their fucking shit together. Scrap the millions spent on the election held less than 2 months ago, lets just have one vote. “Hey Michaelle! Your call sugar pie. Whatever you decide is fine, we’ll roll with it.”
Will a coalition government work? I don’t think anyone can say for certain because we sure as hell don’t have a lot to compare it with. There have been several at the provincial level, but the last coalition on the federal level was Sir Robert Borden’s very short lived and war inspired “Union Government” in 1917 and he doesn’t seem to be taking any calls. At this point, I am seriously beginning to think that our country would be better served if led by a troupe of fucking monkeys. Oh wait, that’s what we have right now.
Shit. We’re screwed.
