Canadians Against Coalition Government

As of December 1st, 2008 the Liberal, New Democratic, and Bloc Quebecois parties have tabled an official 'coalition agreement', and are in the process of drafting a letter to Governor-General Michaëlle Jean requesting the institution of a coalition government, and the ousting of the Conservative minority elected by Canadian voters a mere two months ago.

We view the proceedings as a "rash, poorly defined, and indefensible assault on the Canadian Consititution, and democratic process." The result of a successful coalition bid for government would be a non-representative body with ill-defined leadership structure; at a time when Canadians require succinct, stable, and decisive governance.

If Prime Minister Stephen Harper has indeed lost the confidence of the House we must demand a Prime Minister of our choosing via general election.

Thus we come to our core purpose - to sway the decision of Governor-General Michaëlle Jean in the event of a victorious non-confidence motion in the House of Commons, and thereby prompt a general election.

UPDATE: As of December 4, 2008 the Governor-General has opted to prorogue Parliament until January 26th. Regardless, this petition will continue to gather signatures in the event the coalition government once again attempts to preempt a general election.
