Canada: Conservatives could be tossed from office

OTTAWA—Saying Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government is “out of touch and out of control,” Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff opened the way for opposition parties to defeat the minority Conservative government later Friday.

 “So we need a change,” the new socialistic Ignatieff said. Previewing his election campaign platform, he went on to say the priorities for Ottawa’s spending should be early learning and childcare; post-secondary education for all, “especially for aboriginal and immigrant Canadians;” energy efficiency and “green jobs;” care for ill family members and better support for the retired.

But Mr. Ignatieff's plans are what Canadians need the most right  now?
