The left-leaning Toronto Star thinks the coalition should be given a chance. It is the essence of democracy, according to today’s editorial. And the coalition would be less unstable than an “opposition ready to pounce and defeat [Harper's] government at every opportunity.”
In the wake of Harper’s do-little economic strategy, Canada’s left-leaning parties will offer a more robust economic stimulus plan - something of a no-brainer, in the United States at least.
And this type of coalition government is surely not undemocratic. In Germany, for example, it is the norm.
For a liberal Yank, like me, this episode is particularly satisfying . I found it unconscionable that someone in Canada’s government - Stephen Harper? - would try to influence the outcome of the Democratic primaries.
How a sensible, progressive country like Canada allowed a guy like Harper to come to power has always been beyond me. It had the feel of some Republican-inspired conspiracy.
So now that Bush and his Republicans are out, it seems fitting for Harper to get the boot too.
