It has been a long time since our inbox was so filled with such vitriol. It doesn't appear to matter whether you're a Conservative, Liberal or an NDP supporter. The majority of viewers who have written CityNews are angry about the coalition agreement in Ottawa, with most expressing contempt for the parties behind it.

The feeling, regardless of political affiliation, is that the people have spoken - and as so often happens, the politicians simply aren't listening. In fact, we received only one email actually backing the alliance, with the rest - for lack of a better of a better term - terming the trio fronting the new group as a de facto Three Stooges. 

Here's a sample of the angry letters you sent us.

"I have always been proud of Canada but I have never been more embarrassed of my government than I am today. To think that Jack Layton and Stephane Dion would stoop so low as to include separatists (let's call the Bloc what they really are) in the effort to stroke their political egos is beyond anything I thought they were capable of.

"I hope people see this ploy for what it really is and Layton and Dion spend the rest of their lives rotting in political hell."
Ron Bragg

"This is not right! They should not be able to do this. We spoke up, we voted for who we wanted to run the country ... I for one will refuse to acknowledge any government other than the one that was just voted in."
Randy MacDonald

"We just had an election, and the Conservatives won a minority government.  The people voted for this, and we have to stand by the results of that election, or are we not a democracy?  I could not support any government that has not been elected into power.  This is the worst time anyone could choose for this stupidity."
Janet Arcand

"Six weeks ago the people of Canada spoke. Not having complete faith in any party we elected (albeit a stronger mandated one) a minority Conservative government. The opposition now feels that Canadians made the wrong decision and they have decided to take the reins of government to protect us from ourselves. If a vote of non-confidence is made I see no other democratic option than for yet another election."
Troy Jones

"To the Canadian parliament -- stop acting like spoiled children and grow up!  The Liberals and NDP lost the election.  They need to learn to be far more accepting of the fact that Conservative policies won the support of a large plurality of Canadians.  The Conservatives need to accept the fact that a majority of Canadians did not vote for them. There needs to be a lot more consensus building in Ottawa ..."

This isn't a game. You jokers are playing with the livelihoods of over 31 million Canadians.  Stop letting your egos get in the way of what is best for our nation."
Kevin Meyer

"I want to write in support of the coalition. The majority of Canadians did not vote for the Conservatives.  The Conservatives don't care about the suffering average Canadians could face during this economic downturn. The opposition parties are fully within their rights, and I believe their obligation, to the Canadian people."
Colleen Hillerup

"Just to comment that finally Mr. Layton has the chance to exercise his socialist, totalitarian philosophy, and influenced the other losers. The Venezuelan's president must be so proud of him!"
Gab

"No, no, no..I cannot believe that this is happening and Canada might/will be run by an idiot backed by two other idiots. This is a democracy or have the parties forgotten it?  We, the people, of Canada chose this government and how dare the Liberals, NDP and Bloc parties decide that our votes do not count.  It's quite obvious that they have had this planned for a quite a while...the Conservative government didn't stand a chance. I feel sick to my stomach knowing that Stephane Dion might govern Canada. What a pathetic leader he will be."
Bev McMullan

"My humble advice to both the Liberal and NDP parties is to accept their defeat gracefully, and to let go of their selfish whims-- because it is quite obvious that this "coalition" is nothing more than that: A selfish whim."
Daneille

"How dare the Liberals and NDP make a deal with the devil in the Bloc Quebecois, a separatist party, and then attempt to in essentially overthrow the elected government. Last time I checked I lived in a democratic country and expected my vote to mean something. I am a 34-year-old husband and father and I have always respected and understood what a privilege it is to have the opportunity to vote ...

"In my opinion, if this coalition is allowed to succeed then Canada and it's government will be nothing more than a Banana Republic."
Jay Hooper

"If they want to take power, let them wait until the next election. In the meantime, all the parties should be told to work together to overcome this current crisis and any future crisis. Let the Federal government do their job. Stop crying and start working!"
Howard Cohen

"Now the losers get a chance to run the country if the three fools from the Liberals, NDP and the Bloc get their way. They are just telling all Canadians that we do not know anything that the election meant nothing ... The Bloc should not ever be involved they are not a national party. I have voted in the past for all three major parties but now I will never vote for Liberal or NDP."
Larry A. Lake

"This is wrong!"
