WTF is going on!?!

Comments on the Crisis:

"I didn't think things could get anymore exciting than watching a $16 Billion USD loan from the IMF disappear into nothing, but somehow, Canada has managed to trump even Ukraine. Well done."
- Jealous not to be in Canada

"This coalition thing is ridiculous. To me it seems like a political grab that began as a knee jerk reaction by parties who rely most on government financing and then grew into a surprisingly realistic - and enticing - opportunistic way to become the new government. Most of the population would be against it, in my opinion. If they did have an election immediately, as unnecessary as that might be, it would settle things down in the long run."
- Cynical about all the cynicism

"Starry eye Liberals should appreciate that this utopian scenario comes at a price: if you want to ride the NDP/Bloc tiger, you've gotta feed it. And it's hungry."
- Big game hunter

"Having just finished 1/2 of a biography of Disraeli, it's amazing how in England in the 19th century, the Queen would call on a new government every year or so, without new elections. That said, parties didn't have whips then like they do now."
- Nostalgic

"Add to that the latest Globe and Mail article that says Elizabeth May has discussed being appointed to the Senate by Dion. Someone should tell her the Senate doesn't do very much..."
-Green with envy
