Hmm, that brief was very detailed. I Fully agree with what you said. I don't mind really whichever party is in power in Canada since you guys already have the social safety nets such as a Universal Health Insurance Policy and adoption of the Kyoto Treaty (which you guys are lagging from XD) that I am advocating in the US. And yeah trying to topple the democratically elected Conservative Minority Government just recently re-elected is undermining democracy.
Anyways, I can't sign that online petition because I live near the Port of Los Angeles, CA, USA =P Maybe my grandmother visiting this week from Winnipeg, Manitoba can do something since she supported the Conservatives (Even though Manitoba leans NDP)
Also why does that website keep referring to the Bloc in a deraugatory way ("Seperatists" XP)
Also The Conservatives have successfully halted Parliament. They are lucky. I wish your country the best. ^_^
