ATTENTION CANADIANS.

We voted just a mere 6 weeks ago, and now there is a plan in the works that will overthrown the government we just put in power.

I'll admit this is something I just stumbled on and I'm just starting to look into it, but I don't believe this has been given enough media attention. So I'm bringing it to you here!

Check out this website.

The conservative government was put in power with a minority government, which is exactly as it was before the election. And I'll admit a Conservative minority was not what I had hoped for, but it's what we wound up with. Canada had a terrible voter turn out this year, which I think was partially because it was only days prior to the American election and all the attention was south of our boarder. But that doesn't take away from the fact that we did indeed vote and those of you who didn't vote don't get to complain because you left it up to those who actually got off their tushies and voted.

Canada voted in this government and I'm not sure I like the idea of the other groups ganging up to overpower the current government. But the part of all this that really rubs me the wrong way is that the whole plan relies heavily on the Bloq-Quebecois. And I have no issue with Quebec, in fact I hope to visit there at some point. But the Bloq has made it quite clear throughout the years that their alliance is not with Canada. They tolerate being part of our country and had they the resources to separate they would have done so years ago. So the idea that a group which is known for it's separatist ways would be given control to dictate terms of our 'next' government.... Doesn't really sit that well with me.

I'll admit that I don't generally follow politics, and often I feel that the whole system needs an overhaul. Sometimes it feels that it doesn't really matter if you vote one way or another, because things will stay very much the same as they always have with either a conservative or liberal government (depending on what province you live in). But the part that had me taking a second look at the website I listed above is the line

"The Bloq Quebecois is dictating the terms of the next government and will declare who the next prime minister of Canada will be. This unelected government could only be sustained with the support of the separtist party itself, the Bloq-Quebecois."

I mean really? really? really! I don't think so! The Bloq have never had strong enough votes to even be a serious contender in the election! And now we're going to allow them to overthrow the government we just put in power?

I'm flabbergasted.
