The Coalition of The Devil — God Help Us

I just this moment heard an ad (from a coalition support group/union) supporting the coalition. The thing I find astounding is these groups ranting that the government has not got the job done. This government was just elected in October. Additionally they've not yet announced their 2009 budget (plan) and they are being labeled as "not getting the job done".

This ad in particular suggested the government has done nothing to protect jobs. Short of throwing tens of billions of dollars at "some industries" and "infrastructure" (which was done I understand) what more can be done?

• The Bank of Canada is independent no?
• The price of oil is beyond his circle of influence no?
• The housing market has been super-heated for so long now is there really any hope of extending that?
• Is there any guarantee that the Big Three will be any more solvent were Canada to throw billions there?
• Do Canadian banks need rescuing?

So what can be done? I say cooler and saner heads need to prevail to allow Canada to ride out the storm. A coalition propped up by the Bloc simply cannot "save" Canada.
