Ottawa- Election Around The Corner?

Canada can soon have an Election triggered if the Conservative party votes against the budget for Kyoto.
Combined together with the NDP and Bloc Québécois the other federal parties will then be able to bring about a new Federal Election.
The government is committed to spending $3 billion in new money towards reducing pollution and encouraging alternate sources of energy. The Conservative party and the Bloc Québécois will likely vote against the budget leaving the deciding votes with the NDP.




The Conservative Party being based in Alberta will be mainly looking out for Alberta's Economy witch is largely oil based. Canada is currently the US's main supplier of oil. The Kyoto accord will affect Alberta's economy.
The NDP being largely concerned with the environment will vote against it only to trigger an election. The Bloc Québécois will also favor a new election.
If there was another election right now, I would expect the results to be similar to last elections and nothing will change.

I have lost all faith in the Liberals at this point.

Gun Registry - Wasted over 1billion dollars.

Sponsorship Scandal - lined their own pockets and their friends pockets with our money.

Inability to fix problems like Softwood lumber and Cattle exports - those industries are still suffering.

The way they "balance" the budget - All Paul Martin does is use money that is supposed to goto the provinces and fixes the budget. So the feds look good because we have a surplus but the provinces suffer.

Now the Liberals are starting to strip the Conservatives, Bloc Quebecois and NDP of their scheduled opposition days, beginning Thursday. This seems so desperate and oppressive, especially in Canada, which in my opinion is the most liberal and freethinking country in the world.
