And you call it democracy?

- December 2, 2008

It's an interesting time in Canadian politics. On Monday, the Liberals and New Democrats signed an agreement on Monday to form a coalition government, with a written pledge of support from the Bloc Québécois, if they are successful in ousting the minority Conservative government in a coming confidence vote. The Tories, meanwhile, are signalling they are considering all options to prevent the coalition from taking power and are expected to begin launching a public relations blitz .

What do you think? Is the coalition and its hope to seize power undemocratic — or democracy in action?
