Coalition Put to Bed?

So what is going on in our parliament these days? Do you know? Yeah. Didn't think so. But I bet you're aware of Obama's inuguration tomorrow.

Well, if you remember, the threat of a Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition caused Stephen Harper to ask the governor general to prorogue parliament. We're coming close the the end of the cooling period, however, and the question on everyone's mind (Well, the ones who aren't completely obsessed with the aforementioned inauguration. Look, I appreciate that the US has finally been able to elect a president who is not an old white man. But I live in Canada. We have a government too.) is, now what of this proposed coalition?

As promised, Dion is finally gone. Now, Michael Ignatieff is on the scene, making pretty speeches in the style of... you guessed it. Obama. Seriously, guys, can't we do better than try to be Americans?

But to get to the point, the "c" word has not been mentioned yet. Keep your ears to the ground and your eyes peeled... as the kids say.
