Michael Ignatieff has walked right into the role of the leader of the Liberal party and therefore leader of the coalition without a single vote from the grassroots. Now he wants to be your Prime Minister without earning a single vote from Canadians!
More than ever, our movement needs to get its message out to Canadians. I'm counting on you to please take a moment and read the important message at this address:

Rally for Canada
-=-=- Top 10 reasons that a coalition would be bad for Canada -=-=-
1. A coalition government between the NDP and Liberals, supported by the Bloc Quebecois would undermine democracy because Jack Layton, Gilles Duceppe and Michael Ignatieff would govern without the consent of the Canadian voter.
2. Michael Ignatieff has walked into the leadership of the Liberal party without one vote from the Liberal grassroots. The coalition government would be led by Ignatieff as Prime Minister without earning one vote from Canadians.
3. Mandates are earned not taken. Canadians ought to express their will through the ballot box, not have it tossed aside through backroom deals.
4. The Bloc Quebecois should never dictate the terms of our government. Theirs is a party founded on the principle of ripping up Canada and now they want a hand in influencing its governance?
5. 74% of Canadians voted against a Liberal government. Now, that's a majority!
6. In a time of economic crisis, we don't need a political crisis. In the UK, PM Gord Brown and opposition leader David Cameron have put aside petty partisanship to make government work. Why did Bob Rae say he'll vote to defeat this government even without looking at its budget?
7. Coalition talk is decreasing international confidence in our political and economic stability. On the first day of trading after the coalition plan was unveiled, the Toronto Stock Exchange plunged 864.41 points (9.3%). This is the biggest drop since Black Monday in 1987.
8. We just had an election! Just a few weeks ago!! The Canadian people gave this current government a mandate. Now let them govern.
9. The economy is the number one priority of Canadians. Most Canadians don't care about the usual day-to-day bickering in Ottawa. Canadians care about their families and their jobs. Political brinksmanship reflects how out-of-touch Ignatieff, Layton and Duceppe really are with real Canadians.
10. Why would the Liberals team up with the NDP anyway? The Liberals themselves have called the NDP "economy damaging". We have an economist as Prime Minister. When you have a toothache you go to the dentist. When your car breaks down you go to a mechanic. Who better than an economist to deal with the economy?
There are many more reasons why the NDP-Liberal coalition would be harmful to our country. Please forward this email to your network.

Letter to Editor of Local Orleans Newspaper - Frightful Times
Truly, this is a frightful time for Canada. After so many years of ineffective and corrupt government I have been proud to have Stephen Harper represent Canada internationally as our Prime Minister and he has proven himself as an outstanding leader of our country. He has looked after our interests by making difficult but wise and principled decisions.
PM Stephen Harper took the necessary action to protect our economy long before most of us realized there would be a downturn in the economy. We lead in the G7 countries only because of PM Harper's leadership. Canada is not in the economic turmoil that the other countries are experiencing. The TSX reflected the anxiety of Canadians as it dipped alarmingly when this coalition was announced.
The dishonesty of the coalition leaders is already showing. Despite the announcement that John Manley would be a member of their economic advisory panel, he knows nothing about it and Frank McKenna has also refused this dubious honour. Already the inevitable division and decay is showing in the coalition of these three men who want to grasp power, not in the best interest of Canada, but at any cost.
Canada doesn't need an unstable coalition government. Canadians must stand up for Canada. We need to support the Conservative government so that PM Harper can continue to protect the interests of Canadians with his wise and principled policies.

Left Wing News Bias
We should look very carefully at our newspaper industry and radio & television networks in Canada. The majority of these most influential institutions concentrate almost entirely on the opinions and positions of the Liberal Party of Canada/NDP without granting due and fair promotion to that of their opponents and the present government in power, the Conservative Party of Canada.
Most distressful of all is the fact that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), with all of the left wing influence that it exerts, is primarily financed by our hard-earned tax dollars. As such, the CBC above all others, should be a fair and balanced voice that speaks for all Canadians. It doesn’t take very long at all for a viewer with the least of politically savvy to recognize the totally left-wing bias of the CBC.
As an open-minded Conservative, I must ask, who speaks for our point of view. This is the reason for this blog. Its objective is to motivate people from all over this wonderful country of ours, from coast to coast, and sea to sea to sea, to work together through contributions to this blog to bring about desperately needed change towards equal rights within the print, radio and television media.
CTV and Global also cannot be permitted to escape our attention. Most of these media people best fit the label of commentators. They don’t warrant the title of journalists as they also mostly seek out and report from their preconceived left-wing point of view. Truly, they don’t investigate, but rather only listen to and hear what they want to hear. Seldom do they do their job to report the news, but rather do their best to shape it. If allowed to continue, God help us as to what kind of country we are going to have.
Another primary purpose for this blog is to encourage its readers to join me in writing to President of the CBC, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and to those who are charged with the monitoring of our licensed media outlets, the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). I think, in fairness, we should also copy news outlets throughout the media.
One message, to be repeatedly conveyed, is that the publicly funded CBC should be obliged to provide equal time for the expression of alternative points of view to that of the left-wing. CBC anchors and reporters should also represent other points of view.
Our neighbours to the south benefit greatly from media watch groups who strive to fairly judge the media. Canada needs that also, now more than ever. Let this blog contribute to this cause for Canada.
If you detect unfair coverage in the media, post your report to this blog and do your part to bring fair and balanced news coverage to our beloved Canada
