Actually I like him in charge with a minority... this coalition thing threw a wrench in that... I really wonder how long that was in the works.. I mean a 'signing ceremony' geez.. Then again Harper took the shot at funding and maybe that's the only reason for the coalition.. In that case I still don't agree with them but I dunno if I would have done differently :O) Wasn't our political funding just changed a few years back.. (some say Chretien's last shot at Martin ;O)

The new numbers show the Liberals are still struggling with the rules Mr. Chrétien pushed through Parliament: notably the ban on corporate donations, which formerly provided half or more of operating funds.

Again our Liberals seem to be he party of big business... Quite a conundrum.
