Governor General
I just sent one - like this person said, it can't hurt??!! I believe you have to put your name at the bottom in order for it to carry any weight??
Subject: FW: Proposed Coalition Government
The following is a copy of the email that was sent to Governor General Jean today. If you are in agreement, please copy and paste the email - or send your own to info@gg.ca
Don't know if it will do any good - but it can't hurt!
Honourable Michaelle Jean:
I want to convey how extremely insulted I am with the opposition parties expecting to form a coalition government and oust the government that the people of Canada voted in. The apathy in Canada towards elections is bad enough, but the mockery that is now made of the election process will have a very detrimental affect on the political system.
You will be the one to accept or deny the opposition parties' proposal and I would implore you to use your reserve power to refuse the request of these parties to dissolve the present government, as voted in by the citizens of Canada, and to form their own coalition government. The opposition can combine their numbers to vote down any proposed bills that are not in the best interest of the country - but to use that power to unilaterally change the decision of the public is absurd.
I know one voice may not make a difference, but I am hopeful that many more citizens will make their anger known and that you will deny this motion by the opposition.

Coalition Goverment ????????
Coalition government????
What the heck is up with this nonsense??I cannot believe that the recent election results in which the Canadian people voted and elected a Conservative minority govt- could be overturned by the forming of a coalition govt made up of Liberals and NDPs. What a crock.I have always voted as it is a right that has been paid for by Canadian soldier's blood. It means something and has a cost. Now I cannot believe that the opposition parties can overturn the outcome of the election. Why vote if they can do that - are we any better off here than in corrupt countries where the voting is rigged anyway. They are disregarding the significance and cost of that vote.
