This government under this <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> was re-elected with a clear and stronger mandate to address the global economic crisis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1252430\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canadians rejected the Liberals, handing them their worst share of the vote since Confederation. Canadians rejected the NDP and its job-killing economics. Both the NDP and the Liberals rejected a coalition on the campaign trail.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1252431\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now they want to connive, aided and abetted by the separatist Bloc, to overturn the results of an election held only seven weeks ago. They want to impose a prime minister rejected by the people four to one and a coalition for which nobody voted. Worse still, the Liberals and the NDP will give the Bloc a separatist veto on all spending and national decisions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1252432\" data-originallang=\"en\">We will use every legal means possible to keep the separatists out of power and keep Canada moving forward. This Conservative government is standing up for Canada.</p>",

Notre gouvernement, sous la direction du <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a>, a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9\u00e9lu et a obtenu des Canadiens un mandat clair et renforc\u00e9 pour aider le pays \u00e0 traverser la crise \u00e9conomique mondiale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1252430\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les Canadiens ont rejet\u00e9 les lib\u00e9raux qui ont obtenu leur pire pourcentage des votes depuis la Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration. Les Canadiens ont rejet\u00e9 les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates et leurs politiques \u00e9conomiques qui nuisent \u00e0 l'emploi. Les lib\u00e9raux et les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates avaient rejet\u00e9 l'id\u00e9e d'une coalition au cours de la campagne \u00e9lectorale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1252431\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mais maintenant, ils veulent se liguer, avec l'aide et la b\u00e9n\u00e9diction du Bloc s\u00e9paratiste, pour renverser les r\u00e9sultats des \u00e9lections tenues il y a sept semaines seulement. Ils veulent imposer un premier ministre qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9 par 80 p. 100 de la population et une coalition que personne n'a ent\u00e9rin\u00e9e. Pire encore, les lib\u00e9raux et le NPD donneront au Bloc s\u00e9paratiste un droit de veto s\u00e9paratiste sur toutes les d\u00e9penses et les d\u00e9cisions nationales. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1252432\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous utiliserons tous les moyens l\u00e9gaux possibles pour \u00e9carter les s\u00e9paratistes du pouvoir et permettre au Canada d'aller de l'avant. Notre gouvernement conservateur d\u00e9fend les int\u00e9r\u00eats du Canada. </p>"
