The Canadian National Newspaper: Canada needs a Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition government now to stop the Conservative agenda

Canada needs a Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition government now to stop the Conservative agenda

The federal Conservative Party in the Canadian Federal election that was held on 14 October 2008 won more federal ridings than any other single political party. However, the Conservatives did not win a majority of the seats in the House of Commons. As a result, the Conservative won enough to form a minority government. However, there is an alternative scenario, that would be more representative of Canadians. That alternative scenario would be a 'coalition government' formed of the Liberals, the NDP, and the Bloc Quebecois. However, this alternative scenario would only be feasible if Stéphane Dion immediately resigns as the Leader of the Liberal Party.

Just like the athlete, who sells-out his or her health to taking steroids in the hope of securing financial sponsorships from corporations, Mr. Dion made a corresponding capitulation to an ego driven agenda. Mr. Dion chose to sell-out standing up for the Liberal Party's core values, along with Canada in general, to a corporate clique. This corporate clique ideologically centres around the ambitions of Canadian elites in the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) who seek to use the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) to create a crypto-fascist North American Union (NAU). Stéphane Dion's "Green Shift's" loss to the Conservatives, was a self-fulfilling prophecy, orchestrated by Canadian elites with the collusion of Stéphane Dion, and his co-conspirators in the Liberal party.

Liberals, who seek to help lead a coalition government need to be prepared to cite the Conservatives and their Liberal colluders for apparent treason over the SPP-NAU agenda. It is apparent that Mr. Dion muzzled Liberal candidates from exposing the SPP-NAU agenda, and that is a complete betrayal of Liberal party's core values, and a betrayal of Canada.

Liberals admitted to the SPP-NAU agenda, but refused to come on record during the federal election, to speak out against it. Prominent Liberals, including former Prime Minister John Turner, in a very contrite manner, refused to offer any official comment about the SPP-NAU agenda. Mr. Turner, back in 1988 during the so-called "Free Trade" Election warned Canadians that the Conservatives at that time, under then Prime Minister Brian Mulroney sought to use so-called Free Trade, as a strategy to assimilate Canada into a historical American Manifest Destiny scheme against Canada.

The SPP-NAU agenda, is an American Manifest destiny ambition that all Liberal leaders including notably Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Lester B. Pearson, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, and Jean Chrétien sought to block, until the "apparachnik" of Big Business, Paul Martin agreed to it, in 2005. Mr. Dion, who was one of Mr. Martin's prominent Ministers, and is an apparent member of Québec's new "Chateau Clique" of elites who pretend to defend Canada's and Quebec's interests, while supporting a conservative agenda.

With the immediate resignation of Stéphane Dion, The Liberal caucus in the House of Commons, and Liberal Senators who are prepared to challenge Stephen Harper's claim to form a minority government. could then nominate a temporary Leader, (who pledges not to run in the Liberal Convention to elect a new Leader) to lead negotiations on a great coalition government experiment representative of the majority of Canadians.

Such an interim Liberal Leader would become a conciliatory chairperson and Prime Minister of a 'Coalition government'. In turn, such a coalition government could be comprised of Liberals, NDP, and Bloc members. However, although the Bloc might be open to such a coalition government that could better protect "Quebec culture", they would also probably seek to minimize direct participation in a Canadian federalist government. Such a "coalition government" would represent a majority of Canadians who casted their vote. Even though such a "coalition government" has never been formed in Canada, it would be nevertheless legally constitutional.

Such a coalition government, arguably, would be the next best thing to proportional representation for Canadians who are frustrated by their 'progressive majority' voices being repressed by the will of a minority of Canadians under the Conservatives. Furthermore, arguably, the Liberals, the NDP, and the Bloc could probably agree to much more on a policy-by-policy basis than the non-conciliatory style of Stephen Harper. Mr. Harper seeks to emulate the "my way of the highway" approaches of the similarly right wing U.S. President George W. Bush administration.

The NDP gained more seats under the effective leadership of Jack Layton, with the Bloc holding on in Quebec. The federal Liberals helped to hold back a Conservative tide in Quebec, that could have brought the Conservatives to a majority government. However, due to the vacuous Leadership of Stephane Dion, the Liberals did very poorly in Ontario.

The progressive groups within the Liberals, NDP, and Bloc, need to wise up to the threat of the Conservative's North American Union (NAU) agenda, in relation to the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). A pragmatic coalition government that could put social justice, cultural, and environmental issues like Kyoto at the forefront, and put aside political party ego, would arguably build support for the Liberals, the NDP, and the Bloc, and inspire Canadians who have become alienated altogether from Conservative policies. The alternative scenario is a minority Conservative government that seeks to frustrate any policies and programs that do not complement their right wing agenda, but that does not represent the majority of Canadians.

At this time, such a coalition government is unlikely for the same reasons that caused the Liberal Party to lose so many seats in the House of Commons.

The general reason that the Liberal Party lost seats in the 2008 Federal Election, is that having sold out Liberal Party values associated with the defence of Canadian sovereignty, the current leadership of the Party lacks its former national vision. The substantively centrist-progressive-nationalist core values of the federal Liberals was replaced in the 2008 Federal Election with a bunch of largely uninspired candidates, who were parroting the unfocused and disingenuous policy platforms proselytized by Dion's clique.

If there are any Liberals in the Party, who have not sold out like Dion, and who seek to help champion the fulfillment of Canada's destiny as a progressive society, the time is now, to champion a coalition "Common Front" government.

Canada's election turn out among eligible voters has once again apparently declined, under the alienating policies of Mr. Harper. Isn't it about time for the grassroots in the Liberal party to challenge the corporate cronies who have seized that party, and then seek to build a coalition that can reinvigorate Canada as a participatory democracy?

Jack Layton could also challenge progressive communities within the Liberals and the Bloc, to pressure their party bureaucracies to put their ego-driven agendas aside, and to re-focus their agenda on agreeing to policies that will rejuvenate Canadian values of social responsibility; environmental stewardship; and global peace, away from an alienating Conservative Party eugenic and crypto fascistic agenda.
