It was all up to this man and today at 3:15 Liberal leader Stephane Dion announced that his party will not vote non confidence on yesterday's speech from the throne meaning Canada will not be thrown into another federal election, the third in the past 40 months.
Dion voted "with" the government because neither he nor his party are ready for an election. Going to the polls now could give Canada a majority Conservative government and it's a chance the Liberals didn't want to take.
Dion is the biggest problem. I mean look at the guy. You don't like to judge anyone on looks but right now his wimpy image coupled with his lack of notoriety is a recipe for Liberal disaster.
At this point Dion has decided to ride out the storm and position himself for the next throne speech or the next opportunity for non-confidence when it works more to his party's advantage, and in the back of his mind Dion can always count on the twisted and bizarre logic of voters in Southern Ontario who would probably elect a crack freak as long as he's Liberal.
As for the throne speech itself yesterday it was a well crafted document that puts the Conservatives right where they want to be. Ready to govern now that the Liberals have passed on non-confidence.
Once again I have to applaud the Prime Minister for his stand on Kyoto. Its garbage and Canada has to find another way.
