Building on his experience as a member and acting deputy mayor of our biggest and most representative city, Toronto, he took over the leadership of the NDP 2003, and became an MP in 2004. Since then the party under his leadership has increased its share of the popular vote in elections (almost doubling it in 2004), and holding the balance of power when the prince in waiting and then hapless prime minister Paul Martin took over the Liberal Party.

Stephen Harper can sing! Somebody get Jean Chretien on the line ...
0 comments Posted by 2011 at 15:08Congratulations to Harper for his handful of good songs at the Tory xmas party! Nice to see a Canadian prime minister get up on a stage and belt out a few songs – and able to hold a tune while swatting the keyboards.
Perhaps we should get Chretien to join him in a new Canadian band – The FormerPims (for Former PMs). Jean can slide a bit and add some lilting liberal blues to Harper's conservative accompaniment.

Want proof? Consider this:
Toronto Star columnist Chantal Hébert said on last week's The National's At Issue show that former prime minister Jean Chrétien and former NDP leader Ed Broadbent are having coalition discussions.
The signs are everywhere – from bloggers to journalists to commentators on television. 
The example of the three British parties actually accepting that our Parliamentary conventions not only allow but expect coalitions to enable a government to actually be able to function in the House has been an eye-opener for many Canadians, whose knowledge of the place of coalitions in our governing process was unfortunately skewed by Harper's deliberate campaign of misinformation and deceit a short while ago.
