Mr Dion, you make me sick

I am watching Mr Dion on CTV as I write this. I can see him staring intently at the screen trying to read the prompter without stumbling too much. I see him as a figure head put out to front this farce and try to persuade Canadians we were wrong in denying him the win in the last election. He says that we should be mature and "let's get on with business". Gee, wouldn't that be better served by supporting the elected Prime Minister? Oh and we should only be concerned about him being PM for a few months? In case he forgot you LOST the election! You have no right, no mandate, and no business sitting as PM. None.

The fact that this deal was cooked up long ago and in no way is a result of the recent economic update proves that we can't trust anything this man or Mr. Layton has to say. Do I have prove of this? Yes. do you really think the Bloc. Ndp, and the Liberal party started, and met, and arranged all of this in a matter of a few days? Give me a break. They can't decide what pizza to get that fast. Allowing the Bloc to further it's cause at the expense of our Country and spitting on taxpayers wishes is enough to cause a riot. I hope it does not come to that. I for one do not promote violence. But we will not allow Mr Dion and Mr Layton pay off the Bloc with OUR money to pass bills, laws, and policy's we did NOT give them a mandate to do.

This is how democracy dies

What rights do we have?

The opposition parties are so consumed with getting the power they don't deserve, that they have forgotten about the most important aspect of this whole thing. The citizens of this Country. All of us. Everyone that calls themselves a Canadian should be outraged and offended. This is not about language, or religion, or territory. This is about money, and power. Jack Layton had no intentions of working with the elected Prime Minister, that is evident from working out the deal with the Bloc a long time ago. He's not a good loser, but a big loser.

Taking away the money for votes would cause major financial problems for the opposition, but it is the right thing to do for the citizens of the Country. Especially when the Bloc also receives this funding. There is no way that Canadians should be funding a party that has no candidates outside of Quebec. The Bloc's mandate is to separate Quebec from Canada, how can they expect the rest of Canada to fund that? At the very least that needs to change.

Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote in an election of members of the House of Commons or of a legislative assembly and to be qualified for membership therein.

That is taken right from the Constitution of Canada, and is our right as Canadians. That is the LAW. How is the coalition ensuring that Canadians rights are protected? They are not, and our rights are the last thing on their mind. The voters of this great Country did not choose to put them in power and they have no right to have it, by any means other than another election. We would prefer not to be facing all this B.S. and get on with our lives, but going back to the polls is preferable to the alternative.

Political reform to save Democracy

You would have to be living under a rock to not have heard of the talks about coalition, meaning the opposition parties are talking about assuming control of the Country. Some might say only a moron might not know of such things, after all it is all over the media and political blogs. However, many people do not know. Most Canadians are busy going about their lives getting ready for Christmas and secure in the thought that another election is not in the immediate future.

My wife was astonished to hear the news, and asked how that was possible. Many of her friends were similarly surprised. You see, most Canadians don't have time for daily political B.S and childish rantings. They have enough real issues and children to raise. I suppose that could be a reason they thought they might get away with it, knowing that most taxpayers couldn't dream that they would stoop so low.

I am by far and away not the most knowledgeable person about political law, but I do know a rat when I see one. The opposition says they have no confidence in the ELECTED government. Really, because the government has plans that they wouldn't implement? Or because their wallets are threatened? We will see. Even the old dogs have joined in behind back doors, trying to come up with a plan to steal the Country without going before the Canadian voters to earn it. Some may say it is legal. But that does not make it right.

I think it is time to do away with the current system. The past opposition fiasco has proven that it is not even needed to run the Country. And in fact, lessened our pride in the system. We elected the Prime Minister, not Dion, or Iggy, or that old sneering has-been. So, we don't really care if they agree with the current Pm's policy's. They wouldn't, because they have policy's WE don't agree with, as taxpayers, as voters, and we told them that very clearly last election. So now they think instead they will latch on ever tighter to our money and steal the highest office behind our backs? I am disgusted. I am ashamed. I cannot believe we have a system in this Country that makes that even remotely possible. The Bloc needs to go, the opposition needs to go. We need to elect a Leader, and reps from all Provinces, and that's it. Yes, there will be a lot of people that won't like that. Most of them will be looking for a real job.

Green sex!

I'm sure all of us sane people, and the occasional liberal, are sick and tired of hearing about this. Green , green , green. Not money, not colour, but environmental nonsense. The planet is burning up, or the planet is going to freeze. They are not sure which but it is going to take billions upon billions of dollars, to save us from whatever it is that they are not sure it is we need saving from. But this topic caught my eye and I plan to do whatever I can to help out in this green movement. So whatever your position is in this battle for the environment, make sure you get plenty of rest, and play safe.
