Political brinksmanship

Page 5

Dear Editor:

I am utterly disgusted with the crass politics of the federal Conservatives. Stephen Harper and Peter McKay's lust for power is dangerous. Playing politics with the country's future by making a deal with the Bloc Quebecois to bring down the Liberal government is political brinkmanship bordering on nihilism. Harper and McKay, who forged a party through deceit and back-stabbing, don't have any claim to credibility. They never even tried to make the government work.

Harper will likely get his election soon, however he won't like the outcome. Canadians will judge him harshly for playing politics with our country's future. The Liberals will win another minority and the Bloc will win Quebec.
