Are Politics moving to the right in both Alberta and Ottawa?

Last week Ted Morton is given the purse strings in Alberta, clearly a step to deflate the growing support of the the Wildrose party, by appealing to the right wing voters in the province.
This week Stockwell Day is placed in charge of the Federal Treasury, clearly one of Harpers most trusted and right wing lieutenants.
Politically I understand the swing to the right in Alberta, but Ottawa I am having trouble understanding that.
Alberta no matter what the Liberals and NDP's say is a right wing province that is not going to change in the foreseeable future, it will remain either right wing or even more right wing.
Ottawa that's a different story they obviously have more than one province to please, Stockwell Day, right wing Conservative, Harper Loyalist, from Alberta.
How will that play in Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic Provinces, everywhere but the West.
And what does it say about the fiscal direction of both the province and Ottawa.

What price will "WE" pay? Some comments and questions.

Crazy things are happening in Ottawa

Harper took things to the brink, he thought the opposition would blink, they didn't.
Did he think that they would bring down the government, force an election and then he would get the majority he so badly wants.
Shrewd decision by the opposition to form a coalition.
The opposition takes the position that the Tories did nothing to stimulate the economy.
Would they have been so outraged if the government was not taking away the parties political dollars? What did they do for the 140 years prior too the taxpayers funding them?
Some people argue that the taxpayer funds the parties so they can avoid being influenced by big business, large unions. When did that stop?
The coalition how much money will they put in to stimulate the economy?
How will the government pay for these programs? deficit, increased taxes, borrowing?
How will they choose who gets the money and who does not?
Will they pour Billions of dollars in to companies that will go bankrupt in six months anyway?
If the Taxpayers are being asked to share the pain, will the big companies employees? (All the way from the guy on the production line to the CAO)
What is the price of this coalition?
Who will the NDP look after?
The Bloc, will Quebec get it's fair share or more?

Taxpayers there will be a price to pay, and ultimately it will be the taxpayers. Do not be naive do not think that Harper pushed this to the edge for the betterment of the country, nor the Liberals, NDP, or the Bloc are forming this coalition because it is the right thing to do.

This is indeed all about power and who will have it.
