So the Liberals, NDP and those I love the most, the BLOC, voted that Stephen Harper and the Conservatives were in contempt of Parliament. Now I am not defending anything the Conservatives may have done that may be considered unethical. But I think the whole idea of being able to make such an accusation and have only those who wish to usurp the Conservatives position voting contemptible at best.
This was not done by a judge or third party commission, but simply by a coalition of political parties that are completely biased. And how could they not be? If they all voted for this motion they get another chance to possibly get elected into power, and if they don't well... they remain the losers of the last election. I also find it funny that this is even a parliamentary process at all. I mean how would this ever work if there was a majority government in place? Anyone from the party being "charged" that was thinking of voting for the motion would immediately be removed from their position. It would be political suicide.
Besides if we want to talk contempt of Parliament or more importantly contempt of Canada, why were the Liberals not held in contempt for any one of the many scandals and debacles (click here for a list). Because they had a majority Government.
So here we are, back to the Polls. What are Canadians to do? Many may feel voting for the Conservatives again will only lead to another minority government, and this may happen. But WE NEED TO TRY! How can any self respecting Canadian vote for a party that is willing to work with a party who's sole agenda is to breakup our Great Nation? For any of those that doubt the Bloc's (eastern BLOC?) intentions simply click here and read their own propaganda. They name Quebec as a Nation already. If this isn't treason then we may as well remove the treason laws from our law books. These are the people that the Liberals are willing to go to bed with, just to defeat the Conservatives! How could anyone think that this is for the best of Canada?
Every political party has it's good and it's bad. (well except the Bloc, they are nothing but bad). Canadians must decide which party will be best for all of us as Canadians. I don't think any party could have come close to doing as well as the Conservatives have through this world economic collapse that occurred. Something that many Liberal supporters seem to have forgotten about (this based on what I read in comments on the websites of our national and regional news providers).
Well I doubt I will sway any ones decision, but I am going to do my best to express my views over the months to come in hopes that we can finally get a majority Government that will not have to live with threats from BLOC, Liberals, or NDP.
I know how frustrating it is...it's like talking to a wall when you try to get some people to understand this. The worst part is when I ask someone why they are voting against the Conservatives, inevitably it comes back to how Harper looks (I don't like his eyes, he looks like a cold person). A reverse of this is the unheard of admiration for Barack Obama two years ago (and how is that working out for you, U.S.A.??).
ReplyDeleteIf you take the time to make an informed decision about who you are voting FOR, rather than who you are voting AGAINST, I don't care if you mark your X beside Marxist-Leninist. And those who say they are not going to vote because they're all bad are the worst kind of person to have in this country. Move to North Korea, you might fit in well there. If you can't find ONE thing to SUPPORT in anyone's mandate, then you should exclude yourself from society all together. We don't want you gumming up the works for the rest of us who do care.
