Quote:On the one hand the Bloc is now DEAD. DEAD! BWAHAHAHAHAH! Thank you!Actually, the Liberals have been close to this situation before - they've never been the third-place party before, but they have been close to this small a "rump" in Parliament when Mulroney won his first majority. They didn't die then and they won't die now. As for the Bloc, I'll hold off on the celebrations until after the next election.
On the other hand, the Liberals are almost dead as well.
Quote:On the fourth hand we get a Conservative Majority.As a civil servant, it is not my place to speak openly my opinions of my political masters. It is, however, my place to say that I hope I still have a job six months from now.
Quote:I fear for out health care. You look up the rules for a recall vote, I'll find a book depository.I believe we don't have rules for a recall vote. And there aren't any book depositories between 24 Sussex and Parliament Hill.
