Conservative throne speech puts Liberals on the spot

The eyes of the Canadian citizens and politician are going to be on Prime Minister Stephan Harper Conservative government and their priorities in the throne of speech tonight, and then it will be up to the Opposition Liberals to decide the government's fate. Full story here

The future of the Mr. Harper conservative government is going to be in the hands of the opposition parties mainly the Liberal party. Both the Bloc and NDP have already suggested they won't hesitate to vote against the government if their priorities aren't met in the throne speech. Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion has said, "he's taking a wait-and-see approach, and will analyze the speech as a whole before making any decisions about how to vote." It is very hard to predict whether there will be an election or not because the Liberal party does see themselves ready for an election and does not want the Conservative end up with another minority or majority government.
I think the opposition parties should wait and see the throne of speech and then make a decision. To make the government work is not not by calling an election, let's make the parliament work and have some result. Going to another election will not going to scare or stop people from going to poll, but that is not what majority people wants, they want result and action in the government. We should see the speech of the throne and see what are the priorities and are those priorities address Canadian citizen,s needs or not.
