Back in October, the results of the Canadian Federal Election were quite obvious. The Conservatives improved their minority and the Liberals lost 25 seats.

All parties vowed to cooperate together in order to lessen the effects of a coming recession, but that was not the case. Stephen Harper still acted like he had a majority and the three opposition parties conspired to overthrow the Government without even trying to work with it on a "Stimulus Package".

The Liberals made a deal with the NDP and the Quebec Bloc Separatist Party to help them take over the government. This may occur this month or in Janurary/2009.

Stephen Harper and the Conservatives launched an all out attack on this coalition as undemocratic because it wasn't discussed as a possibility during the last election.

I'm not against coalitions, but Stephen Dion left out the party which won the most seats, the Conservatives. This is reprehensible and highly partisan because there are bright minds in all parties who can help Canada in its hour of need.

I would like to see "A Coalition Of The Willing".

A Coalition Of The Willing would be a coalition of the majority members of Parliament. It would assist Canada and Canadians in getting through this tough economic period. To be part of it, one would have to forego partisan politics and work as a team with other party members for at least two years.
 
A  new Prime Minister would be chosen by the majority from this coalition. He would select his own cabinet and hold his position for two years.
 
Preferably, both Dion and Harper would step down from their positions. They are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
 
Most Canadians don't want an election. Excluding the Tories from a coalition just puts them into an election mode where "The Green Shift" has become "The Quebec Bloc Shift".
 
People aren't idiots or incompetent because they support a different political party than you do.

I'm sure one could find intelligent and helpful Conservatives who would be willing to form "A Coalition Of The Willing".
 
The Governor General should also be approached with this idea for a workable emergency Federal Government.

Harper and Dion are yesterday's men still trying to win yesterday's battles. It's time to get rid of the excess baggage.
