Here's a kicker when the Opposition parties Say "There is no Coalition" or don't talk about it.

CBC has an article that was updated Dec 1st, 2008, which gives the outline of what and why with the Coalition deal. When looking at the "Details" you find that the Coalition is technically still in place, at least within the Liberals and the NDP.  FULL ARTICLE HERE.

The excerpt on the right hand side of the page, just below the picture of the document you will find;
"Details of the deal

The proposed coalition government includes:

• 24 members of cabinet and Dion as prime minister
• 18 Liberal cabinet ministers (including a yet-to-be-named Liberal finance minister)
• 6 NDP cabinet ministers
• 6 NDP parliamentary secretaries
• The 2 caucuses would sit side by side in the House of Commons
• The agreement between the NDP and Liberals would expire on June 30, 2011, unless renewed. The Bloc is only committed to 18 months."

So make note, when you vote Liberal or NDP, you WILL BE voting for "The Coalition!"

Thanks to Joanne at Blue Like You for pointing this out on Twitter.
