In Canada, history has been made. Governer General Michelle Jean has granted Stephen Harper's request to proroque Parliament for 6 weeks. When Jean granted the Prime Minister's request, she let him avoid A No Confidence VIte that was set for Monday. This No Confidence Vote could have toppled his minority government making Stefan Dion as Prime Minister of Canada. Harper now has 6 weeks to plan a federal budget that the Tories will present to Parliament on Jan 26. It is obvious that there will not be a no confidence vote now because Harper will now go back and listen to their ideas on government.

In Canada, there is now the threat of a coalition government. The oppositional parties threatening to topple Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Minority Goverment and replace it with a coalition government. It has been reported that if the Opposition take down the Conservatives in the No Confidence Vote next week, Stefan Dion will become Prime Minister. It has been said that The Liberals, and the The NDP's have agreed to a coalition of 2 and a half years with The NDP's getting 25 per cent of the seats. The Conservatives have been accused of not spending enough money to stimulate the economy. The Opposition claims that they will spend money to put the economy back on track and will ensure that they will spend the wisely and create new jobs for Canadians. We should see how many of these claims they will fulfill if they win the No Confidence Vote.

Let's see how this turns out!

Sincerely,
