Stephen Harper has come clean; he’ll have no truck nor trade with the Bloc Quebecois. The Conservative frontrunner issued his declaration of separation today while discussing the issue of coalition governments. Harper said he didn’t think the Bloc could do much harm, but doesn’t find them to be a positive force. Since they don’t share the same philosophy as the Conservative Party (whatever that may be!) he didn’t think any arrangement would work.
He then went on to say that Paul Martin should make a similar declaration, one in which he will refuse to include the NDP in any attempts at governing from sea, to sea, to sea. Claiming that any union of Liberal and NDP, would be just as destructive to the nation as any Bloc Quebecois coalition would present. Harper has been suggesting that PM the PM is making plans to approach Smilin’ Jack Layton, should the need arise to pad the Liberal benches with some bodies to run a government.
Harper wraps up his bid for the Conservative leadership this weekend as, Conservatives prepare to name a new leader, Harper is considered the favorite to take the title. Once he’s taken care of the niceties of Convention business he had best get himself to a television set, tune in a radio or do some web surfing.
The NDP have been releasing some pretty hard hitting ads about Prime Minister Martin; his ship owning past, friend of the privileged, and his friends and your money get together, among the more interesting of strategies.
Viewing those ads and visiting the NDP website, one thinks that the chances of Paul and Jack getting together to trade off favors, is about the same as Sheila and Tony getting together for a Sunday dinner. It might happen but don’t be spending the adscam money on it.
