I am so mad I think my eyeballs are going to squirt blood and my hair catch on fire....

Canada, like so many other nations, is not immune to the global crisis unfolding right now. While other Governments are stepping up to the plate and taking action, what is Canada doing? Zero. Nadda. Nicht. Squat. Canada as of a few hours ago finds itself in a state of Constitutional crisis that is reminiscent of places like Bolivia and Mongolia and Russia.

Stephen Harper, the Canadian Prime Minister, on the surface appears to be a likeable sort. Well mannered, well dressed, educated....I think you get the image. But beneath it all lurks a neo-conservative student who is determined to steer Canada towards a right wing goal that really has not yet been made clear to Canadians. Canadians have been unsure of this man for some time now and that is why he has been unable to win a clear majority in an election.

Whoa !!! what is happening here ??

6 weeks ago Canadians went to the polls and elected yet another minority Government. Nothing wrong with that I say....history shows that minority Governments can be quite functional indeed.

But this election has left the Opposition Liberal Party scrambling in that its leader Stephan Dione has now agreed to step down in light of his poor performace in the recent election.
