Comments on: I Didn’t Vote For A Coalition Government!!! Hyuck! http://myblog.ottawaarts.com/2008/12/i-didnt-vote-for-a-coalition-government-hyuck/ Smeh! Derek R.

I just got a robo-call from some brainless, Harper loving, Conservative group asking me to sign an on-line petition to give my support for Harper's actions. They told me that I should sign the petition in order to help protect democracy in this country. WHAT A FREAKIN' JOKE! Typical "black-is-white" right-wing B.S.! The right in this country HATES democracy. That much is now clear and undebatable. If Harper likes democracy so much, then why wouldn't he stand the democratic vote of the house? The people of this country DEMOCRATICALLY elected the house. If our democratic vote was honoured, then Harper would stand the vote of the house, and abide by its result. The ONLY reason he has to dodge the vote, is because he doesn't want to face the possible consequences of the DEMOCRATIC system! I wonder who's paying for their little telemarketing and website project? This takes the cake!

When the game is going in their favour, they're happy. As soon as they find themselves down by a couple of points, they want to take their ball and go home. And, their righteous leader, Stephen Harper -- the noble man of democracy that he is -- has run like a coward and hidden behind the skirt of Michaëlle Jean. Never before in Canadian political history has a Prime Minister been so gutless as to seek to prorogue Parliament in an attempt to avoid a democratic vote of the house. Make no mistake! This is nothing short of Harper giving the proverbial finger to the democratic process in Canada. The right in this country hates democracy. That much is no longer debatable. Yesterday they were crying like the bunch of intellectualy pre-pubescent children that they are about how a democratically arrived at coalition was as dangerous as could be to the security of this nation. Now they're jumping with glee because our country is being run by a Prime Minister who doesn't have confidence of the house. Harper had two choices: Stand and face the democratic process, or lose his power to govern. He chose personal power over the democratic system. And now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go outside and turn my Canadian flag upside down. An upside-down flag is a distress signal. I think the fact that democracy is now dead in Canada is grounds for such a signal. So, the right has now shown themselves to truly be a group of nine year olds.
