CANADIAN POLITICS
this is changing day-by-day, so linky to news site is not needed (i think)
WTF are Canadian politics?
-sort of like British in model, four main parties
spectrum (approx.)
left---------------------------------------------------------------Centre-----------------------------------------------------rignt
NDP---------------------------Liberal-------------------Bloc Quebecois---------------------------conservative
(New Democrat Party)
NOTE: bloc is separatist party for Quebec
summarize:
Doug finely, the chief adviser for stephen harper f***ed up badly. Basically brough in legislation which would eliminate political party funding based on votes, crippling all parties except their own. As a result, the three other parties with seats in the house of commons have decided to bring him down, as the conservatives are only a minority government (less than 1/2 seats). They thought they would get away with it since there was just recently (less than 6 weeks ago, it's okay if you did not notice, America's election was a shave more popular) an election, and his party became close to forming a majority government (bad for everyone but them, and Alberta). NOW the other parties will soon be proposing a collation government.
the CONservative call this a 'slap in the face of democracy' but they are full of bull.
eh?
