Apparently, the logos were being slapped on buses as we slept thought the night:
The Tories, in fact, reportedly plan to use the two already-equipped buses now being operated by Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory in the Oct. 10 provincial election campaign. Two more Greyhound buses for the federal Tories, it’s said, are also being prepared and “wrapped” with Conservative logos and large photos of Harper.
Why? Because the Bloq says they will not support the throne speech and the NDP says they will not support the throne speech. That means a few things:
- They will, in the end, support the throne speech.
- Facing the prospect of the Bloq and the NDP not supporting the throne speech, the Liberals will support the throne speech.
- We are going to have an election!
I love elections. Except Ontario provincial elections which create about as much excitement and policy debate as the weekly seniors discount day at Shoppers Drug Mart. Polite debates largely built around consensus on the bog points. Bo-ring.
Not that we need a Federal election. The minority government is doing quite fine keeping everyone on a pretty moderate path while also providing good opportunity to expose the weaknesses of everyone involved. What could be better? So, if an election comes:
- Who do you vote for and why?
- Does punishing the party that triggers the unnecessary election play a role?
- What are the issues?
- What is the popular vote?
- What is the seat count?
That’s not too hard, is it?
