Canadian Politics Can't Get Any Lower.

The thought of another Federal election is absolutely ridiculous but if the alternative is Finance Minister Jack Layton, and my fingers ache just typing that, then it may have to be the option.

Of course if Harper wasn't stupid enough to bring up the possibility of cutting the $30 million taxpayer subsidy to political parties this could have been avoided. I don't disagree with ending the subsidy in principle I just think his timing was awful. He never mentioned it once or even hinted at it until last Thursday. Now the government may be brought down over something as trivial as this at a time of economic crisis when leadership is required. Pathetic.
