SAFE: The Conservative Government will survive

Thanks to the approval of the Bloc Québécois and the NDP concerning the confidance vote regarding the EI reforms proposed by the Conservatives, there will not be another general election in Canada for now, much to the charign of the Liberals...or is it.

In reality, neither the Bloc nor the NDP is ready to fight an election, and to be fair, Canadians have had quite enough of elections, considering that there have been 4 in the past 5 years. However the Liberals took a principles position during this past scene in the EI saga, wanting to topple the government over its flimsy proposals for reform and relief.

Now that the vote of confidence is sorted though, it seems that the Bloc Québécois is dragging it's feet on the passing of the law, while the other parties, including the Liberals, seem to want as quick an ascendance as possible for what is agreed to be an extremely pressing and necessary reform to the regime of unemployment benefits, both short-term and long-term. The Bloc contests that there is too much unknown, too much not spelled out in the plans, too many unanswered questions, too many left out. If that's how they feel, maybe they should have supported the Liberals...
