...coalition government -- Dizzy Lizzy wins cash for life ... Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is endorsing the proposed coalition government and says she has spoken with Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion about the possibility of her being appointed to the Senate. Looks like ol' Steffi is gonna pay off his political markers ... instead of his outstanding leadership campaign debt. And the poor Greens find...

I'm pretty excited that Dion, Duceppe and Layton managed to rustle up a pair between the three of them.

Gilles Duceppe emerged yesterday to sit side by side with Stephane Dion, the author of the federal Clarity Act that defines the conditions that would allow Quebec to secede from Canada, adding a fresh layer to the political theatre surrounding talk of a coalition government.

... could be auctioned to the most desperate, unprincipled bidder -- is what has sustained Gilles Duceppe's party all these years. Now that it's happening, it's a pathetic sight to see not only Jack Layton but also Stephane Dion jumping up and down in tandem, auction paddles in hand. Say what you want about Jean Chretien, but he always stood up to the separatists while in power. Now, in his...

"You might not like the result, but the process is 100% constitutional, legal, and democratic."Yeah Anony - and the optics are great - overthrowing a sitting government six mere weeks after they were elected with a strengthed mandate and less than two weeks after work began in the HoC. I hope the rest of the world starts weighing in on this stupidity because the rest of the world recognizes the leader...

But not to worry, the coalition will bring in that pompous socialist self-promoter Jack Layton whose NDP party has been rejected by Canadians for decades, leaving them without so much as a sniff of power federally since they were formed as the CCF party about 80 years ago. And supporting Layton is Gilles Duceppe—you know, Duceppe, he’s leader of the party that wants to tear Canada apart....

Nowhere in the Bloc Liberal Democrat contract did anyone say anything about Sovereignty. Gilles Duceppe pledges not to sacrifice his sovereigntist principles - this accord is only for the economy, stupid! Pauline Marois knows! Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois said she believes Mr. Duceppe will guarantee the province's interests are on top of the agenda. She greeted the partnership...

Well it looks like nothing will stop the Liberal- NDP -Bloc Junta from seizing control of our government. So we might as well accept our fate. But what will it mean for our country? Well here's what we can expect in the next few months: * To make life easier for Gilles Duceppe the capital of Canada will be transferred from Ottawa to Quebec City. * Toronto will be renamed Hugo Chavezville . *...

I was just watching Mike Duffy Live on CTV, and learned that Pauline Marois, the leader of the provincial Parti Quebecois -- the sister party to the separatist Bloc Quebecois -- claims that part of Gilles Duceppe's prizes for supporting the coalition is an extra $1 billion transfer to Quebec . There is no specific mention in the coalition documents, but Marois said the immediate consequence...

By NEIL WAUGH: A strange sense of denial settled in with the Alberta PCs yesterday. There was the bizarre signing ceremony with Stephane Dion, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe in the House of Commons, the air of resignation by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his governing (but not for long) Conservatives and the epitaphs and bragging that followed after the gruesome three-some agreed to play...

Dion mortgages federalist ideals to sign on with separatists (Kelly McParland, 12/02/08, National Post) Mr. Dion and NDP leader Jack Layton welcomed the pact with speeches about democracy and their overwhelming concern for the country. Mr. Duceppe skipped all that and got straight to the point: he signed on because it furthers his ambitions in Quebec, and he'll abide by it as long as that's...

Aside from that unpleasantness about Quebec separating, I think "Prime Minister Duceppe" would be much better in the job than the current occupant. Come on, be honest, having watched his performance both in the House and in debates, you think so too, don't you?

The political apocalypse has arrived, brought to you by the four horsemen: Dion, Layton, Duceppe and Jean ( if she decides to grant the coalition's wish .) Harper played chicken one too many times and now he's finally being forced off the road into the depths of hellish obscurity - where he belongs. In the meantime, pundits and various Canadians are shocked - shocked, I tell ya - that parliament...
