Coalition

Well these certainly are interesting times. This should probably have happened a long time ago but finally the Liberals have decided to work with the NDP directly. The majority of Canadians, without question, would support this progressive team.

Some Liberals will hate it because they won't be able to go as far to the right as they would like to appease their corporate masters. But they'll look really good thanks to the NDP which will mean they'll win a majority in the next election and then behave like Conservatives.

But for now hopefully we'll get some progressive legislation on climate change which should be all that really matters. Climate change is actually caused by the economy so by supporting the economy you actually fuel climate change. The recession is the best thing that could have happened since greenhouse gas emissions with decline. You won't hear that on TV.

But the coalition seems good to go. Now we'll have to see if the elites decide to let them take power. I can already hear those elites worrying about the "socialists", as if the NDP could claim that title. And Harper and his crew keep banging on about the "separatists" as if the Bloc is something other than a regional party.

I can't wait to see Steve Harper as the leader of the Official Opposition probably in January. But I'm not counting him out yet. The Conservatives aren't going to give up without a fight. The longer this goes on and the longer the economy rots the better to my mind. Let's learn to take care of ourselves and we won't need this stupid global economy/death machine anymore. It's not as scary as we might think.

And remember, you can't spell coalition without coal. I'm sure there's a stimulus package for coal mining somewhere out there.
