Dion ordered his party to let the Throne Speech pass, signifying his downfall. His performance was dismally uninspiring. Following that, his statements such as "I want to become Prime Minister" and "it worked for [Harper], it will work for me", used to justify the Liberal's abstention just testify to his weakness and ultimate political ineptness.
Come on, I'm no politician and I know all too well that such phrases would make me the country's laughing stock. Poor Dion.
The Liberals want to bring the government down on a confidence issue, as my friend Tim aptly remarked, so that they can choose what the election will be fought about. This means the Conservative government now has the chance to bring in the legislation Canadians want and the Liberals can't stomach but can't vote down lest they completely lose people's trust.
The wall is broken, now send the right troops through the breach: the bills that the CPC and the people of Canada feel strongly positive about. Once those are through, go for the bills calling on Conservative principles but don't have such a broad approval, bills that should trigger an election, on issues the CPC can really shape public opinion on.
From today the Liberals will only get hammered more and more. Bring it on.
