Bloc part of secret coalition plot in 2000 with Alliance Party

A document obtained by The Globe and Mail shows that the scheme would have propelled then Alliance leader Stockwell Day to power in the coalition. A lawyer who was described then as being close to Day, says he didn't discuss the matter with the MPs

OTTAWA — The separatist Bloc Québécois was part of secret plotting in 2000 to join a formal coalition with the two parties that now make up Stephen Harper's government, according to documents obtained by The Globe and Mail.

The scheme, designed to propel current Conservative minister Stockwell Day to power, undermines the Harper government's line this week that it would never sign a deal like the current one between the Liberal Party, the NDP and the Bloc.

1. Not surprised

The indignation from the Right about the coalition is empty bluster.

2. Haha this is being brought up in QP

Doris Day is getting angry :rofl::rofl:

3. They are such LIARS. I truly hope this is spread far and wide because it proves that Harper will

tear the country apart just to hold on to power.

4. Start by recommending this item.

Seems to me a lot of Canadian DUers never venture into this forum.

5. I am getting sick and tired of listening to the lot of them, I also have no desire to see a

coalition with the Bloc under any circumstances.

6. It's a coalition with support from the Bloc. There's a difference. It would be a Liberal-NDP gov't.

[buzzard]

9. I understand how it works and I personally don't want a coalition with the support of the Bloc.n/t

7. Harper will say:

"That was the Reform Pary, we are the Conservative Party. It's not the same thing at all."

Pathetic, but that will be the response.

[daleo]

8. It's ok to conspire with Bloc, unless it is done in a year ending in 8
