This upheaval has nothing to do with the stimulus package and it's 100% about the opposition parties who are almost broke having their public funds eliminated.

The ONLY thing what would have caused a coalition is from exactly what he did. Don Newman interviewed Jim Flaherty days ago before all this and his first impression was that what the Conservatives were doing could possibly cause a coalition among the opposition but seemingly not a single strategist among the Conservatives could think of that. They've displayed the same kind of arrogance I came to hate about the Liberals...

I suppose the Conservatives all of a sudden have such a huge problem with political parties accepting what they call "entitlements" when they themselves had zero problem accepting them for their entire history and up until and including the last election.

Oh almost forgot, I suppose one thing that would come from all of this is that there would finally be a government that's representing 60% of Canadians rather than weak majorities or minorities only getting 35-37% of the vote over the past 2 decades but pretending they have the confidence of the people.
