Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michalle Jean,
First of all, I thank you for your service to our country. This is a historic and difficult time to be in the honourable position.
Secondly, I appreciate the opportunity to voice my concern over the proposed coalition government. With the city of Edmonton at a deadlock over budget discussion and the province of Ontario unclear if they need to “go-it-alone” with the auto sector bail-out, it is abundantly clear we need strong, measured direction sooner rather than later.
I cannot realistically believe a coalition government can transfer power, consult the provinces, establish working relationships with the G20 countries, get up to speed with ministry budgets as quickly as the current government can meet its schedule to consult stakeholders and table a budget by the end of January.
To suggest otherwise is to invite comment of the inexperience of those eager to grab power.
With the Liberal Party not willing for Mr. Dion to be their leader, why should Canada be forced to have him be our leader after he was just soundly defeated in a general election 7 weeks ago?
Three things are needed in any stimulus package. 1. Investment from the government 2. Consumer confidence and 3. Private Investor confidence.
Politicians eager for a political solution have destroyed 2 of the 3 elements by assuming all they need to do is invest 1.5% of our GDP into the economy. This is short-sighted, self-serving and destructive for our nation.
Please take these thoughts into consideration as you meet with the duly elected Prime Minister.

Politics If you don’t know the PM’s email it’s pm@pm.gc.ca
Here’s my email to encourage him:
To the Right Honorable Stephen Harper,
Our prayers are with you during these unprecedented attacks on Canadian democracy. We need a Culture of Honour in Ottawa, as the events of the last week clearly illustrate. I’ve outlined some thoughts at http://streams.revtrev.com
It’s my hopes that you call for another election and encourage the “coalition-of-non-winners” to run as one party and that this election occurs before Christmas.
Don’t let the calls for your resignation to enter your thoughts. Canada needs your strength and commitment. You are here for such a time as this.
Trevor Lund

Politics This wasn’t much of a commentary, except in the sheer volume of online interest in this. I sent this to feedback@ott.sunpub.com and yes, I’m signed up for everyone one of these groups.
These groups on facebook have between a couple dozen and many thousands of people signed up. It’s an indicator of the level of contempt for this coup. We’ve got to express our lack of confidence in this lust for power from last elections losers.
