Tories to stoke fear of opposition coalition

[CHIMO]

Stephen Harper's Conservatives have decided their election strategy will rely in part on reviving the ghosts of last December.

The fleeting, four-day coalition that opposition parties formed in late 2008 to unseat Mr. Harper's Conservatives was deeply unpopular outside Quebec. The Tories plan to resurrect its fading memory to rattle voters, warning that backing opposition parties will bring instability.

This strategy is also the reason that Mr. Harper will not make a deal with the NDP or Bloc Québécois to avert an all but inevitable election.

He is gearing up to attack the Liberal propensity for making deals with “socialists and separatists” – as the party did last December – and Mr. Harper would be unravelling his own campaign plans if he struck an accord with the NDP or Bloc.

My reply would be.

There will be no more neo-con type of politics in our government.
We will make parliament work. Just as it has worked in our country before Harper arrived.
We recognise that every member of parliament has been elected to represent his riding and every MP will have a voice in parliament under us.

I advise you not to listen to the neo-con voices that have already been outvoted in America.

1. I hope the Liberals use the current health care crisis in the U.S....

and point to the fact the CRAP wants to privatize health care in Canada. There is certainly enough quotes they could find, CRAP-supporting organizations that have publicly stated they want more privatization in the system.

Canadians are VERY aware of the issue right now and the Liberals could nail harper et al on this, imo.

2. What a fucking joke...

Such a coalition would do a far better job than Harper's theocon losers at representing the ideological, cultural, and regional differences that define Canadian society, especially in light of the fact that parties to the left of the Liberals, namely the BQ, the Greens, and the NDP, have a higher share of popular support than either the Liberals or the CCRAP losers.
