Put this on your blog

OTTAWA – The Liberals continued their support for the Conservatives today, as they endorsed the Harper agenda for the 79th consecutive time.

Traditional gifts for the 79th confidence vote include a joint Liberal-Conservative attack against the 2 million unemployed Canadians who need immediate assistance to make ends meet – all wrapped in a pretty blue ribbon.

Far from being placed ‘on probation,’ with the help of the Liberals, first under Mr. Dion and now under Mr. Ignatieff, the Conservatives have been governing with a de facto majority for over 3 years.

Despite Mr. Ignatieff’s claims to have succeeded in making Parliament work, he has merely propped up Mr. Harper, and all he’s gotten in return is the chance to study how the Conservatives are going to implement a 2008 campaign promise that was subsequently adopted within an NDP motion last month.

Making parliament work means securing gains for Canadians that the government was unwilling to do in the first place. New Democrats have helped previous minority Parliaments work and succeeded in getting billions of dollars in funding for a national housing program, education and public transit.

What we’ve seen in this Parliament is an official opposition willing to keep propping up this bad government. That’s not ‘making parliament work.’
