September 23, 2008 BURNABY, B.C. — Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion flatly rejected forming a coalition government with the New Democrats today on the heels of hints from NDP Leader Jack Layton that he’d be open to the idea. Mr. Dion, speaking after an address to a Vancouver-area business crowd today, said he could not work […]

Prime Minister Goodale? Harper blinks – election averted! Election on? Coalition on? Prime Minister Chretien? And Ed Broadbent? Je ne comprends pas anglais. Liberal non-confidence motion! WHAT THE […]
