"Last weekend, we learned that the NDP under Jack Layton has been in talks with the separatists Bloc Quebecois for quite some time to form a plan to seize power and to overthrow the government. This would overturn the results of the last election held just six weeks ago without seeking consent from we the Canadian voters.
"The Bloc Quebecois is dictating the terms of the next government and has declared that Stephane Dion will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. This unelected government could only be sustained with the support of the separatist Bloc Quebecois itself.
"This would mean that the government of Canada would be at the mercy of people committed to destroying our confederation. We ask that on Saturday December 6, democracy-loving Canadians from coast to coast gather to support democracy, not political games in this times of crisis."

Last week, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty tabled an economic update in the House of Commons to take steps to reduce government spending and to show Canadians that politicians are willing to walk the walk, and tighten their belts.
Some of the original measures included canceling $27 million in taxpayer subsidies to political parties ($1.95 per vote, every election, for parties with over 5% of the vote), limiting MP salary increases, freezing civil servant salaries, and temporarily ending the right to strike for our civil servants (to ensure stability in the civil service during the worst economic downturn in decades).
The opposition parties claim a lack of economic stimulus as for their reasoning for a coalition government agreement. Canadians know better than that, and see through their games. We know the only reason the opposition got a backbone was the thought of losing their tax payer subsidies.
Our current federal government was planning to take the responsible path of delivering an economic stimulus package in the federal budget in January. This was to wait until after (a) hearing the provincial needs in a First Ministers conference and (b) seeing which direction the Obama administration would take (in regards to the auto industry) when President-elect Obama takes office in January.
The opposition is demanding reckless action of throwing money around, without first consulting the provinces first.
Prime Minister Harper, realizing Canadians would not want an election over this issue, removed contentious portions of the economic update including canceling party subsidies, and civil servants' right to strike. He also pushed ahead the budget date to early January.
The opposition parties are power hungry, and will stop at nothing to take hold of power.
In the October 14th election, they never told Canadians they had intentions of forming a coalition government. In fact, Dion, denied this during the election. Centrist, moderate Canadians who voted Liberal didn't necessarily vote for them with the intention they were going to form a coalition with the socialists (NDP) and separatists (Bloc Quebecois) with full-blown socialist economics.
The Canadian people have not lost confidence in the Conservative government. Only the opposition parties have, in their desperate, blind grab at power.
Fight for better. Join us in demanding democracy be upheld. The vast majority of Canadians do not want a coalition government with Stephane Dion as Prime Minister (rejected by 74% of Canadians), with the socialist NDP propped up by the separatists Bloc who want to destroy this country.
The TSX dropped 9% on Monday. Our country needs stability, and this Three Stooges antics are adding to the economic turmoil our markets are reeling from.
Shame on the Liberals. Shame on the NDP. Demand better. Demand democracy.
