Ok you Facebookers — send 'em in and I'll post 'em here:
- I'm against the Liberal coup d'état : Description: The Liberals are trying to steal the government after losing the election. Canadians didn't vote for a Liberal or NDP or Bloc government. If they are going to defeat the Tories, Canadians must have their say on who forms the next government. Not backroom Liberal and NDP insiders. Creator: Mark Bullard: Creator
- Canadians for a Progressive Coalition: Description: Canadians for a Progressive Coalition are asking the NDP, Liberals, and Bloc Quebecois to form a coalition government that includes counsel from the Greens. Creator: Jamie Biggar (Former Toronto Centre Conservative candidate Mark Warner is a member of this group.)
- I Support Public Campaign Financing: Description: The Conservatives are cutting the funding from which they benefit least in relative terms, while leaving alone that which they benefit from most. They are making one more attempt to disable democracy in this country. Creator: Devin Johnston
- Dear Santa: All I want for Christmas is a Liberal-NDP Coalition : Description: Santa, this year, instead of some overpriced consumer items my parents can't afford, or another long $300 million election, all I want for Christmas is a Liberal-NDP Coalition Government. Then maybe we can have a happy new year! Creator: Michael Creighton
- For a coalition government in Canada/Quebec to save the climate and economy Description: We call on the NDP, Liberal Party and Bloc Quebecois to form a coalition government. The majority of voters in the 2008 federal election clearly want action on those issues and reject the Conservative Party. The three opposition parties can come together with a program to fight global warming and deal with the economic crisis. We call on them to do this. Creator: Arleigh Crawford

A Dose of Reality
Canadians against a coalition government
The “I support public campaign financing group” isn't involved in the coalition debate. That group is solely focused on the (now abandoned) proposed financing change. This group, while largely composed of NDP and Liberal supporters, also had many conservatives (big and little C) who supported the current financing system our country uses that reduces the influence of corporate and large donors.
In fact the creator of the group has explicitly stated that the group took no position on the coalition. As well he provided a variety of links to both the pro and anti groups and directed any debate about those to more appropriate venues.
In relation to my previous comment here is the list of pro and anti coalition facebook groups sent out by the creator of the “I support public campaign financing” group.
