Canadian Parliament in Disarray

i think i can speak for the average canadian when i say that it’s embarrasing and frustrating to watch the bullshit that continues in parliament.

we’re a democratic country, we voted and elected a leader. with that mandate the elected gov’t should be able to run our country. now what i don’t understand is stephen harper’s self-promotional agenda - you lost, you’re the second place runner in the race, you don’t get to run the country, you don’t make the decisions. and frankly you can run again, but using taxpayers dollars to continually find loopholes in our laws and parliamentary procedures to try and bring down the gov’t is counter-productive.

one party the new conservatives have said they can now topple the gov’t, the liberals say no, the bloq quebecois says “oh yes we can”, the NDP says we’ll work with the gov’t to start achieving something, anything, or any part of what they set out to do within the confines of the currently elected gov’t. the NDP is the only party that can stand to gain a lot of support, and influence - so everybody plays like a team and they win - play like 12 year olds in the sandbox arguing over who gets the toys first and absolutely nothing gets accomplished.

harper should work within the system to further his agenda and his party’s. polls a month ago apparently suggested he was likely to win if there was an election. yet yesterday CBC reported that even with the scandal surrounding the PM and possible gov’t corruption that canadians would still elect a minority Liberal gov’t. i don’t think anyone has to stretch their imagination to imagine a corrupt politician. so cease and decist stevo, let’s get it on.

it’s time to start doing something. the gov’t was elected last year, but they’ve accomplished nothing. let’s get on with achieving some of each of the parties goals and leave the election campaigning and posturing for the next election in 3 years.
