Well, not yet. But the Liberals and the NDP are joining forces in an attempt to overthrown Stephen Harper's minority Conservative government.

From http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/11/30/canada-coalition.html:

The NDP and Liberals have reached a deal to topple the minority Conservative government and take power themselves in a coalition, CBC News has learned.

A deal has been negotiated between NDP Leader Jack Layton and Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion that would see them form a coalition government for two and a half years, the CBC's Keith Boag reported, citing sources.

The NDP would be invited into cabinet and get 25 per cent of seats, Boag said, adding that the party wouldn't get the position of the finance chair or the deputy prime minister's post.

"That's the big step forward tonight," Boag reported.

The Bloc Québécois wouldn't be a part of the coalition, but would have to support it, he said.

"The most difficult question is who'll be the leader," Boag said, adding that Dion, who negotiated the deal, believes he has the right to be prime minister.

Opposition parties say they have lost confidence in the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper after Thursday's economic update by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty failed to provide a stimulus package for Canadians.

Since then, the Liberals have been in negotiations to form a coalition with the NDP, and the concessions made by the Conservatives this weekend have done nothing to change the party's view that Harper must go.

There's one week to go to a non-confidence vote.

Will the Conservatives be able to wiggle out of this one? I doubt it.

I'm okay. There's just too much happening at once.

Thought I should say that I'm okay because in one of my previous entries I wasn't.

I don't even -- it's so frustrating when you feel like you've forgotten how to put thoughts on paper. (Not really forgotten, there's just too much going on in my brain, but the result is the same.)

Uh... talk to you later?

Remember my last entry, about a dust-up over on WiccanTogether.com? Well, this is how I went about extending the olive branch to the person I'd apparently offended:

*sigh*

I am not "badgering" you. I am on occasion disagreeing with you. There's a BIG difference.

I'm sorry if disagreement distresses you. In the future, I will try to phrase my discourse in the most civil way possible to alleviate, as much as possible, your discomfort. And I apologize for any offense and/or distress I have inadvertently caused you. But when I disagree with something you (or anyone else) says, I will speak up about it. That's the nature of forums like WT -- you're going to get a LOT of different opinions.

Hopefully that helps. If not... *shrugs* -- I've got more important things to attend to at the moment.

EDITED TO ADD: Awwwww, blackcrow deleted my comment on his profile page! How brazenly cowardly cute! Wanna bet that my comment on rightwitch's page disappears as well?

User: prairiecrow Date: 2008-11-28 14:53 Subject: Oh noez, I is a MEAN PERSON! Security: Public

Someone on the WiccanTogether.com site just attempted to bitchslap me via a comment on my profile page, apparently because I dared to disagree with her recommendation that a 12-year-old use Silver Ravenwolf as a primary resource for learning Wicca. OH NOEZ, I IS A FASCIST MEANIE POO-POO HEAD!!1!11!

(And yes, I've responded to a couple of other posts of hers in much the same vein. I have never, however, insulted her or talked down to her, at least as far as I can recall.)

I'm really tempted to respond with something along the lines of: "Bitch, please... disagreeing with you is NOT "badgering" you. You REALLY want to see me get medieval on your ass? Okey-dokey, here we go..."

But I know that responding out of anger and anxiety that has nothing to do with her isn't fair, so I'm going to hold my peace. For now.

This is the post that set her off. Scroll down to "prairiecrow" for the straw that broke her camel's back.

EDITED TO ADD: And now one of her (presumably) friends is getting in on the action (see link above), accusing me of all sorts of things that are quite untrue. I don't know whether to be amused or profoundly depressed by this.
