Their main point was that this is a Alberta/west(read con) friendly government so the Libs and others back east want to kill it.

He gets total props for supporting the Liberal-NDP coalition!

A coalition government can actually be positive since it tempers the more extreme elements of the parties involved.<BR/><BR/>While generally the Governor General's role is ceremonial, the exact reason we have one is to deal with situations like this. If she didn't want to get involved, then she should have done nothing. The opposition parties would have voted against the budget, the government would fall and we'd have another election. Sure, we just had one, but no one ever said that democracy was perfect. <BR/><BR/>If she felt that action need to be taken, I am at a complete lack to understand why she felt that <I>shutting down our democratic system</I> was the right thing to do. If a group of MPs, who represent both a majority in the House of Commons and a majority of the popular vote, get together and say they no longer have confidence in the ruling party of losers and want to form a new government, I don't see how she could have said no.Tokyo Tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378240164581541440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27398255.post-77311615167401173772008-12-05T20:01:00.000+01:002008-12-05T20:01:00.000+01:00The office of the GG is ridiculous, which is why w...The office of the GG is ridiculous, which is why we shouldn't be surprised by this.

She's a ribbon cutter and has to have a damn good reason to reject a direct request from the head of government. From what I understand, Michaelle Jean hates Harper, too. And I'm sure the decision to help stop Canadian parliament when Canadians need it most brings her no joy. Whatchyagonnado?
