Talk about becoming Prime Minister through the backdoor. Jack has finally succeeded in forming a government complete with a caretaker prime minister and a fine host of Conservative cabinet ministers...just what he always wanted!
Now it might be a little confusing for John and Jane Everyday Canadian but the coalition prime ministers are intent on getting the job done -- at least for a short while. Stephen Harper will continue to sit comfortably in the chair while his co-prime minister, Jack Layton, fashions government policy to whatever extent and for whatever period Stephen Harper chooses to let him. I don't know about you but I'd call that leadership...
Jack may have his hands firmly gripped on the levers of power but he forgets that someone else has actually tied his hands.
Look Jack, here's what you do. Tell Harper that you want to make the living arrangements complete. Put Tom Mulcair and the others from the front bench in cabinet. Let 'em know how it feels in Ottawa. Get a short, sweet taste of the perks and privileges before most of you get blown out of the water come election night!

If the NDP are not prepared financially to fight a national campaign and stand to lose 20 seats why should they participate in helping the Liberal Party?
ReplyDeleteI have been asking you that question for months. I am still waiting.
CanadianSense,
ReplyDeleteYes, you have indeed been asking it and I've been answering it for months!!
But as usual our mutual talent seems to be talking past each other. Just call us a couple of ocean liners who pass in the night...
