In the last week, senior Ignatieff Liberal MPs David McGuinty, Bob Rae, Marlene Jennings have called for a Liberal-Bloc Quebecois-NDP coalition, and now they've been joined by the President of the Young Liberals.

“I support some kind of collaboration," said Young Liberal President Samuel Lavoie. His excuse is that it shouldn't include the Bloc Quebecois, but as we all know, the Liberals and NDP couldn't currently form a coalition WITHOUT the support of the Bloc Quebecois.

If all these Liberals got their wish, such a coalition would include:

Michael Ignatieff, who was professing his love for America and calling the United States his “country” just months before coming back to Canada after being away for 34 years;

• Canada’s economic recovery would be in the hands of Bob Rae, a failed former NDP Premier and Jack Layton, an untested tax and spend NDP leader; and
• Canada’s government would have a Bloc Quebecois policy veto dangling over its head on a daily basis.
• Canada can’t afford a Prime Minister who is just visiting.  We can’t afford NDP co-management of the economy.  And we most certainly cannot afford a policy veto for the Bloc Quebecois – the glue that made the last Coalition attempt possible.

These latest coalition musings prove once again that the Liberals aren't in it for Canadians. They're just in it for themselves.
