....What should we expect? What if Danny Boy's ABC campaign works across Canada (prairies exempted)? What if they carry this anything to prevent the Conservatives from a majority too far, and they get the Dion Liberals by mistake?
Think about it, seriously, for just one second. What if the lefties actually do prevent the Conservatives from even a minority, guess who we are stuck with....Dion! Now, the lefties might cheer, high fives all around between the four lefty parties, and then, they get to implement their platforms, in one of the most unstable global economies I can ever remember. Can you see the mess Canada would be?
Being lefties they will all band together to promote the "greater" good. So, what is their "greater" good? Combine their platforms together and what do you get?
Carbon credits against productive taxpaying businesses.
More funding for the arts.
Shutting down the only sector that is still showing some life (energy)
Shift to eco-friendly vehicles no one can afford (they will be unemployed).
Money to Europe to buy Kyoto credits.
Increasing the GST.
Getting rid of income splitting for seniors.
Pulling out of Afghanistan now.
De-funding our military.
Canceling much needed military equipment.
Free drugs for all.
Legalized prostitution.
Legalized marijuana.
Increased business taxes to pay for social programs.
Doubling childcare credits AND a Federal sponsored daycare.
Raising fuel prices this winter. (Hey it's not Alberta this time, saying let them freeze in the dark, it's the Liberal/NDP/Bloq/Green parties)
Protecting ALL animals, over humans.
Banning all guns.
Killing all development of the Arctic.
Negotiating with terrorists.
Repeat offenders getting out early...like the known sexual predator who abducted the little girl in Alberta this weekend.
....And a chicken in every pot, but no fuel to cook it!
If that doesn't scare you, when the economy is becoming more unstable, nothing ever will. Think about how fast our economy will tank. Unions will be looking for higher wages, especially the Ontario teacher's union and autoworkers, and forestry workers, and nurses, and every sector that is in trouble will have their hands out. Oh, and let's not forget about getting rid of poverty.
Remember the Rae surprise in Ontario? What if by some miracle we get a Dion surprise? Or heaven forbid, a Layton surprise because of strategic voting.
So, when you are sitting around your dinner tables eating your Thanksgiving feast, think hard about your vote, and what it means to the stability, even the continued existence of the Canada we all love. This is not some game, this is about the survival of Canada, and who is the best leader. This is not about cuts to the arts, this is about cuts to the very fabric of our country.

Think of the look on Iggy and Rae Daze faces when they realize Libs are stuck with Dion for 8 more years....priceless
We've always got those firewalls hunter...lol
Seriously tho, tomorrow PMSH will tell us
he won't impose a carbon tax or any other tax.
He won't do like Martin and cut transfers to the Provinces while the feds stay fat.
reality will set in, PMSH will win
wow hunter...good post....I do not like the realities...
If the Left unites behind Dion and takes the government I am not afraid.
Look at his track record - he will talk, and talk, and talk (albeit in some sort of English/gibberish hybrid language)but will accomplish nothing.
Look at his campaign - he takes advice from no one, or at least it seems that way. This wouldn't sit well with the other pretenders - Iggy, Rae, Jack! - so they would be constantly fighting amongst each other or circling looking for an opportunity to take over.
I see a Dion coalition administration as a complete do-nothing disaster that would cement a majority Conservative victory within a year after people see the Liberal/NDP as a whole is far more of a circus than simply a sum of the parts of that coalition.
Wilson, where do you get the 8 more years figure?
I notice some comments around the blogs that perhaps the ABC has gone too far and people are waking up to the fact they might get a liberal govt and the greenshift and billions for kyoto.
That is the message we have to get out to Ont and Que and maybe NFLD.
But their dictator premier is telling them how to vote. Guess he figures they can't make their own decisions.
"More funding for the arts."
PMSH promised this already as well.
"Pulling out of Afghanistan now."
The Liberals are committed to 2011 as well. And since Harper said the war is unwinnable, he's getting the white flag ready.
"Legalized marijuana."
I'd support this. First, it's a harmless psychoactive substance that is much safer than controlled substances like alcohol or Tylenol 3. Second, it has clinically proven health benefits in pharmaceutical form. Third, think of the federal revenues on pot taxes!
"Killing all development of the Arctic."
This is a fabrication. Dion recently tried to copy Harpers Arctic sovereignty plan.
The rest of your examples have some merit, although it really is a worst of the worst case scenarios. A "perfect storm" if you will.
