I know things look dim - but really, I still think the Liberals are gonna win this one as a minority government. I also hope that this eliminates all of the crap that is in the Liberal party - and believe me, it's there, from Chretien down (even though funny-man Jean has already left). Paul Martin is solid, I believe, and I'd rather see him lead the country than anyone else.
Jack Layton is fine, but he just doesn't have enough support nationwide to make a big enough impact.
Stephen Harper is a joke. Seriously. I'm not anti-Conservatives as much as I'm anti-Harper. I liked them a lot more when they were the Reform party, with Stockwell Day or Preston Manning in power.
THe Bloc...oy, the federal government should grow some balls and actually pass a bill voting against the Bloc from being a part of the federal government. THEY ARE A PARTY TRYING TO SPLIT UP THE COUNTRY - they have no interest in anything that happens beyond Quebec's borders. If they DID, they'd have people in other ridings across the country. So...yeah. Ban them, and any future sepratist party, from having any seats in the House of Commons. I think that's fair.
Anyway, Martin's government will remain in power, I believe. The scandal is only REALLY big in Quebec, from what I can tell, and it's only a minor annoyance to much of the rest of the country. It will change some minds, but I doubt it'll be enough to topple the Liberals.
What riding in Montreal does Martin run in, anyway?
