I don't give a damn where they sit -- with a veto on government business until 2011 - who's calling the shots?
Comfort yourself by listening to the BS if you like -- the Bloc is not part of the coalition -- they will not sit in government -- they ARE the bloody government when they have the numbers to assert control -- and they do. Jack Layton has sold his soul on the pretense that a few Cabinet seats will give him 'power'. Nice guy Dion, gets the title and the Rt. Hon. attached to his name and of course, the Liberals will not risk political uncertainty come the Spring and they'll reaffirm the puppet as PM in order to maintain their dubious claim to 'government.'
The Bloc is the only winner in this. They serve the interests of Quebec only and thanks to the Liberals and the NDP - those are the interests your taxes will be serving for the next three years.
Welcome to Canada, Prime Minister Duceppe. Monsieur Dion? I think you'd better put on some clothes.

30% of the representation in a coalition government,
has a mandate from one province, and the mandate is to break up the coutry.
Likely doesn't even occur to the
3 Quebers that inked the deal.
End Times are here:
The four horse men of the apocalypse are a riding in: Dion, Layton, Duceppe & May.
We are back to reckless spending and taxes and turning Canada into a socialist paradise.

Is that the sound of western seperation I hear???? Cause that would be swell. The funny thing is that it would be just like East and West Berlin haha.
Now East and West Berlin is a joke. What would/could the 'West' do except stand at the borders of Alberta and gesture obscenely as those baddies back east strip your precious West of it's wealth and resources.
Get over it. There are only two provinces in all of Canada that make a damn: Ontario and Quebec. Hell they ARE the only two provinces in Canada. All the rest are just fluff and purses to tax.
Don't cry, wingnuts. It'll be OK.
Some "talking points," copied and pasted here (it's good enough for the Cons, after all):
• A Liberal-NDP coalition government would stop the senseless appeal of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Pitfield’s decision that allowed Vancouver’s supervised-injection site to remain open.
• Canada might get a prime minister who won’t boycott an international AIDS conference in his own country and who doesn't reject the wisdom of scientists on issues ranging from climate change to drug treatment.
• Canada would have a prime minister who recognizes the urgency of climate change and who would give responsible instructions to Canada’s negotiating team at the crucial UN climate conference that begins in Copenhagen this November.
• There would be less spending on the military and more spending on the arts, which wouldn't be treated as a "niche issue" by the government.
• Canadians could feel confident that the military mission in Afghanistan wouldn’t continue after 2011.
• A Liberal-NDP coalition government would appoint more progressive judges to the Supreme Court of Canada and to superior courts in the provinces.
• There would be a reduced chance of the Canadian government extraditing Marc Emery to the United States, where he would rot in jail for the rest of his life for selling marijuana seeds over the Internet.
• The court challenges program would be reinstated, resulting in a more level playing field for disadvantaged groups. Canada might even get a national daycare program if Harper is bounced out of office.
• A federal stem-cell advisory panel wouldn’t be stacked with opponents of embryonic stem-cell research, which would be a relief to those who suffer from Type 1 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and other debilitating conditions.
• Stockwell Day would no longer be a senior cabinet minister, and whoever is in cabinet will no longer be muzzled and have their communications and speeches vetted by the prime minister's office.
• Canada might finally approve a UN resolution regarding indigenous rights.
• Canada would no longer be ruled by a control freak who has exerted greater political control over the RCMP, which poses a threat to Canadian civil liberties.
