Immoral but what'dya expect
What is happening to this country. We have a bunch of basically simple minded unelected despots attempting to get into power when they couldn't find a pot to piss in during the last federal election.
Secret deal exposed
November 30, 2008

Layton isn’t worried about the economy. He just wants power.
//-->
In a call with NDP caucus members and senior staff, Jack Layton privately admitted that the NDP has had a secret - and longstanding - deal with the separatist Bloc Quebecois – a deal pre-dating the Government’s recent Economic and Fiscal Update (EFU). The NDP provided the date, time, call-in number and conference call code to the Conservative Party.
For the NDP, toppling Canada’s Government is not about the economy or the Government’s EFU. The EFU was merely a trigger to execute a longstanding secret deal between the NDP and Quebec separatists.
The NDP and the Quebec separatists are attempting to do through secret negotiations what they’ve been unable to do at the ballot box: win power and impose their agenda on Canadians.
Just as the Liberals do not have a mandate to form a coalition with the NDP after campaigning explicitly against such a coalition, the NDP certainly does not have a mandate to implement a secret deal with a party that wants to destroy Canada.
How can the Liberal Party – the party of Laurier and Trudeau – allow itself to be played by the NDP in this way? Was Stephane Dion aware of this secret deal with Quebec separatists when he started talking to the NDP?
The opposition has every right to defeat the Government. They do not, however, have the right to impose a coalition they campaigned against and a secret deal with Quebec separatists without the consent of Canadian voters.
KEY QUOTES
"…nobody really imagined that it would be possible for the Bloc Quebecois, the Liberal party of Canada ever to enter into any kind of a discussion around the future of the country and it turned out that we were the glue…" – Jack Layton (Download mp3)
"BQ stability issues, worry about BQ potentially being off-side, we're taking that very much into account. We have numerous strategies designed to deal with it, I actually believe they're the least of our problems, but in case I'm wrong, let's just say we have strategies, this whole thing would not have happened if the moves hadn't have been made with the Bloc to lock them in early, because you couldn't put three people together in one, in three hours. The first part was done a long time ago, I won't go into details…” – Jack Layton (Download mp3)
"The coalition for Canada, I love the idea, it could be a deal-breaker for the Bloc (laughter) so if we don't go, we call it "The Coalition for Canada and Quebec," (lots of laughter). Well, welcome to the real world of.... That's not funny." – Jack Layton with laughter and comments from numerous unidentified participants (Download mp3)
