The Grand Coalition

Liberal-Conservative coalitions are so alien to Canadian tradition that even today, everyone concerned pretends this one doesn’t exist. Liberals continue to criticize Tories, although Dion’s pathetic Question Period performances make it clear his heart isn’t in the game. Only Conservatives sit in the federal cabinet, but this is just part of the charade: to pacify his Liberal coalition partners, Harper does not permit his Conservative “ministers” to talk or do anything. The Liberals make a great show of blaming the NDP for the current government’s existence, but the lie is transparent. The NDP keeps showing up to vote against the government. The Liberals don’t. Of course not: it’s their government too. paul wells
