Harper on a leash, Coalition is dead.

Mr. Ignatieff:

I am a resident of Ontario and a supporter of the coalition.

Today, you called Stephen Harper "reckless, arrogant and short-sighted". You outlined roughly eight aspects of the budget that utterly fail Canadians and utterly fail the test what you wanted to see in the budget. Yet you then told the press that none of your proposed amendments will address these essential issues that you find so intolerable.

Instead, you proposed that Mr. Harper give periodic reports on how he is doing on these budget promises -- promises that you said throughout your press conference are basically bullshit. You contradicted yourself from one sentence to the next.

In about 10 days, Mr. Harper will have been Prime Minister for three years. And yet you want to give him MORE TIME to see if he can govern correctly? Canadians cannot wait any longer.

It is time for you to LEAD. You talked a bit tougher than Mr. Dion would have, but your talk is empty. You showed yourself to be as spineless as Mr. Dion. And a majority of Canadians -- as evidenced by the coalition -- are sick to dead of the Liberal Party acting as a crutch for Mr. Harper's failed policies.
