I am starting to get sick of getting these emails every few days. And this email annoys me for its petty partisanship, and willingness to drive wedge issues home. It is time to stop thinking like this, and time to start thinking collaboratively.
From the email:
We need to drive that wedge home and convince Canadians of all political stripes that this Coalition does nothing but weaken our nation.
It seems that the Conservative brain trust considers the coalition is a wedge issue, whereas it is really a trust issue. The Prime Minister must reach out to the opposition parties and make an honest effort to bring the best of their ideas into the budget. We must honestly try and work together.
I agree with removing funding from political parties, I agree with not spending 30 billion on a stimulus package until after we see what the Americans and other G20 nations do, I just don't agree with how this was all done.
Stéphane Dion has resigned as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and by extension, of the Liberal/NDP/Bloc Coalition. In yet another stunning and unprecedented demonstration of Liberal contempt for our democratic rights, they've decided to appoint a new leader in his place.
Not only was the Liberal/NDP/Bloc Coalition not elected to govern this country , but the person who would become Canada's Prime Minister wasn't even the leader of a federal party during the last election and may not even be elected by the Liberal (or any) party's membership .
The Liberals have decided to parachute Michael Ignatieff into the position of Prime Minister, and one thing is clear: Canadians didn't elect this coalition to form a government , and they most certainly didn't elect Michael Ignatieff as Prime Minister .
The Liberal/NDP/Bloc coalition would be a disaster for Canada's economy, and for our democracy.
Canadians need and deserve an elected government and a Prime Minister that will focus on the economy. In these uncertain times, that is the number one priority.
Please follow this link to make a donation of $200 or $100, and help us spread this message to Canadians. We need your help now to crack the coalition and put a stop to the political games in Ottawa before the Liberal/NDP/Bloc Coalition do even more damage to our democracy.
Cracks in the coalition are already starting to show. Members of the Liberal Party are already acknowledging that the Liberal/NDP/Bloc coalition was ill-conceived, undemocratic and potentially ruinous for Canada. We need to drive that wedge home and convince Canadians of all political stripes that this Coalition does nothing but weaken our nation.
Make no mistake: Stephane Dion, Bob Rae, Michael Ignatieff, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe will continue to do whatever it takes to force their coalition into power. From day one, the Liberals' backroom coalition has been nothing but a naked power grab.
Please follow this link to make a donation to help us crack this coalition and send the message that a democratic, duly-elected government will put Canadians' priorities first.
Yours Sincerely,
Doug Finley
National Campaign Chair
Conservative Party of Canada
P.S. – The Liberals were rejected by Canadians at the ballot box to govern this country – as were the NDP and Bloc. They are trying to seize power by making backroom deals and parachuting in a Prime Minister who didn't even lead a party at the last election. Please make your emergency donation now and help crack the Liberal/NDP/Bloc Coalition.

I agree with their message, but I am tapped out from the last election and the melting stock market. I am getting a little tired of their appeals for money too.
Im not sure I understand your first 3 paragraphs? Are you angry at being solicited for donations?
I topped us up and maxed out my membership. Tough times but this is worth it! Cheers...
I just donated. Look at every alternative out there and tremble in fear for what would happen if got their hands on the levers of power. While I don't like how partisan Mr. Harper is sometimes, or these emails, I'll work from within the only party in Canada worth supporting - the CPC.
Bec, yes.
I have gotten 3 or more fundraising emails in the last week or two.
I wish they would stop using these wedge issues, or partisan attacks to email me for money. Sorry.
I would rather donate to the Conservatives for them to implement something rather then stop something.
Anon@7:09, agree, I still support them, but do wish the partisanship would lessen.
One of the big reasons the Conservatives don't have a majority is due to their partisan antics.
I got the same email today... strange thing is I got it at my new @clearconservative.ca email address. I know for a fact I have never given this address to the CPC. Not that I am upset about it; It is comforting to know that the CPC is still fighting for donations.
you can tell them to take you off their list - when I donate and once I receive my tax receipt I have to call and have them remove my name/number and they do...
No clearly, that would be annoying. There must be a process put in place to eliminate repetitive reminders, via e-mail.
However,the alternative is horrifying so no toys for us! Cheers!
I'm a Conservative supporter, and frankly I think being a dumbass:
"It seems that the Conservative brain trust considers the coalition is a wedge issue, whereas it is really a trust issue. The Prime Minister must reach out to the opposition parties and make an honest effort to bring the best of their ideas into the budget. We must honestly try and work together."
Good God. The Prime Minister's role is to advance the Conservative agenda as well as to look after the country. It isn't to get along with the separatists, socialists, nor criminalist parties... except to the degree necessary to accomplish his mission.
The coalition was a disgrace: Canadians roundly rejected it and boosted, according to several polls, the Conservative Party of Canada's support to its highest ever levels.
Fundraising on that issue makes sense. In fact, the CPC received many unsolicited donations from disgusted Liberals who, if their parties often criminal past didn't 'cause them to jump of the bandwagon, their dismissal of Canadian unity and internal national cohesion did.
"Stéphane Dion has resigned as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and by extension, of the Liberal/NDP/Bloc Coalition. In yet another stunning and unprecedented demonstration of Liberal contempt for our democratic rights, they've decided to appoint a new leader in his place."
Part of Stephen Harper's proper role in a democracy is to defeat his political opponents. This he is roundly doing at present.
Get with the program!
How about,just read it and delete it.
Anon@10:22 I did :)
I believe the "Conservative brain trust", whomever they are, are basically stupid. They can't seem to realize that they won. Dion is gone. Move on to other issues. Stop the negative adds etc. People want to see the government working for the benefit of the country. Show the country that the Conservatives can govern astutely without being stridently partisan. Harper needs to clean house at the PMO.
