Childish Games

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff finally smartened up, saying, “Canadians don't want another election, and they're tired of political games. They have waited too long for action on the economy for us to fail them now because of partisan interest.” he said.

Unfortunately, he's the only one that drank the Koolaid this week.

Sore looser Jack Layton, NDP, was quoted as saying, “We have a new coalition now on Parliament Hill: It's a coalition between Mr. Harper and Mr. Ignatieff...Today we have learned that you can't trust Mr. Ignatieff to oppose Mr. Harper. If you oppose Mr. Harper and you want a new government, I urge you to support the NDP.”

Mr. Duceppe, Bloc Quebecois, also ridiculed the Liberal parties decision to support the Conservative government, saying the timeline ensures the Conservatives will remain in power until at least the next budget.

No kidding! Isn't that the point? To have a party govern for a reasonable amount of time in order to affect any sort of positive change?

I have never been a huge fan of the Conservative or the Liberal parties, however, this sandbox temper tantrum has only reaffirmed why neither the NDP nor the Bloc Quebecois have ever even come close to receiving enough votes to run the country.
