The Dion couldn't even get a tape delivered to CTV last night on time,
it showed up an hour late.  He called the Block Separatists in his
English address to Canadians, and Sovereignists in the French address
because Quebec  prefers it. 

Why would he the Liberal leader who only weeks ago lost the confidence
of his party after the election, and was going to step down now think
because he has become involved in a coalition that he can govern? It
seems he's a lame duck leader who panders to the Block in Quebec
because without their support he would have no collation.

We know from news reports that the Block will have the power of VETO
on all decisions if the coalition gains power, so basically we'd all
be held captive by the Block while they held our country under their
thumb.

I'm for another election, put the coalition on the ballot, let
Canadians use the vote as their voice.
