My Letter in Support of a Coalition Party

I just finished emailing Governor General Michaelle Jean to show my support of a coalition government between the Liberals and NDP, with the support of the Bloc Quebecois and Green Party. If you believe this would be a better government than Harper's comedy of errors, I highly recommend that you do the same. This is the text of the email that I sent:

Madam Right Honourable Michaelle Jean,

I want to write to express my support for the coalition that was formed between the Liberals, New Democratic Party and the Bloc Quebecois on December 1st, which has indicated its desire to form a government to replace the present Conservative government. The Harper government has demonstrated its inability to govern as a minority and to work constructively with Parliament. A coalition government by Stephane Dion and Jack Layton, with the support of the Bloc and the Green Party, would ensure that Parliament could return to work efficiently with the confidence of the majority of members of Parliament. I lived in Ontario during the Liberal-NDP accord and I strongly believe it was one of the best political eras of that province. I would be thrilled to see such cooperation on a federal level.

If a vote of non-confidence is put forward, I ask you to please accept the offer of opposition parties to form a coalition government.

Sincerely...

The email address to send your letter to is: info@gg.ca
