Dude, where's my coalition?

Ahh, spring is here. Flowers are going to be a blooming and a federal election is upon us.

Well, at least the weather should be stable ... or not.

I love the rhetoric that is being tossed around. Harper's Conservatives are all about a Liberal, NDP, and Bloc coalition, coalition, coalition! Forgetting that back in 2004 Harper spearheaded his on little coalition which helped propel him to where he is now.

The bigger issue for me personally is that voter turnout was less then %50 the last federal election.

If citizens are a little fed up about having an election every three years and a minority government, then get out and vote.

The old saying there is power in numbers could never be more true and more needed for the future of democracy in Canada at this point. So if you don't like the terms prorogue, coalition, and minority government, do something about it.
