I did hear about this a few days ago, I think the BBC was reporting on Canada Parliament being suspended?
As the Conservatives feverishly cobble together a budget they've conceded will produce some form of deficit, government is in limbo with the Liberals, NDP and Bloc holding 163 seats in Parliament to the Conservatives' 143.

[I would not be surprised it the US decides to take a few of Canada's provinces, namely the food and oil producing ones. ]
Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are contenders
The Europeans wouldn't stand for it... unless they're traitors and part of the 'deal'

Further - Canada doesn't NEED a stimulus package. Unlike the USA we already went through our "readjustement" economic phase. Our banks did not have the same problems as the lack of regulation in the USA.
The stimulus package ideals are being pushed by manufacturing sector that doesn't want to re-tool and wants to continue being rewarded for really bad decisions and even worse marketing. A little market spanking is in order to get their heads out of their asses.
People here are buying fewer LARGE gas guzzlers. Big surprise. However as overall sales go they are still buy about the same amount - in cars. Duh. Apparently the ONLY people who didn't realize how stupid this Big-Freakin-Gas-Guzzling-BS is was the auto execs.
Canada, unlike any of the other nations effected, is very well insulated from the problems that occured. Unlike what you hear all the time, Canada isn't completely dependent on the USA. This downturn proves it too. And it proves out what Paul Martin said - our economy acts like a small Asian economy. Without the corruption.

Now this is something I can believe. The method behind his madness. I really couldn't see how he would have just gotten in as a minority government yet again, and then pretty much did a move to fold his government.
If what you're saying is true, then we can expect some major event very soon for them to capitalize on their martial law crap.
This means, to me, the fight is on. Bring it!!!!! THE PEOPLE WILL PREVAIL. NWO DIES NOW!!!!
As you can see, this stuff makes me angry, and I'm thinking a bullhorn like David Jones uses will be my next purchase.
