Political history, unlike anything Canadians have seen since the first world war, has been unfolding in Ottawa Monday afternoon. If the Opposition's strategy is successful, Canadians will soon be governed by Stephan Dion. The Liberals agreed to support a tentative deal with the NDP -- backed by the Bloc Quebecois -- to form a coalition government with Stephane Dion as interim prime minister. Dion said he is sending a letter to Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean advising that he has the confidence of the House of Commons to form government should the Conservatives fall. The Liberals and NDP have agreed to an immediate $30-billion economic stimulus package supported by the Bloc Quebecois, as part of a possible coalition deal to topple the Harper government. However, the package will not include a rollback of corporate tax cuts. Former NDP leader, Ed Broadbent, said it covers a lot of areas including the auto sector. The Liberals and NDP are hammering out their fine differences Monday in a bid to oust the Harper Tories. Political heavyweights, such as Roy Romanow, John Manley, Paul Martin and Frank McKenna, would form an economic panel to guide the coalition.

How do you get out maneuvered by a dweeb like Dion?
What the world will soon realize, is that the dweebs (and nerds, and geeks) are really in charge, and will inherit the earth. The schoolyard bullies can only push them around for a time before revenge comes...
