For going on six years now we've had a federal government that has consistently demonstrated contempt for democratic principles and institutions. The same group is back in power and we'll have no opportunity to unseat them until 2015. It's generally acknowledged that of the newspaper editorial boards that endorsed a party, over 90% of them endorsed the Conservatives even while less than 40% of voters did. Perhaps Hebert should consider the possibility that the current demonstrations are as much for her benefit and for the benefit of her colleagues as for the benefit of politicians.Read da ol' ting.

Totally off topic but dear to your heart :
"CCR and the Canadian Centre for International Justice (CCIJ) lodged a detailed and lengthy indictment setting forth the case against former U.S. president George W. Bush with the Attorney General of Canada, urging him to open a criminal investigation against Bush for his role in authorizing and overseeing his administration’s well-documented torture program. Bush is scheduled to visit Surrey, British Columbia on October 20th, as a paid speaker at the Surrey Regional Economic Summit at the invitation of Surrey Mayor Diane Watts. The Indictment, which was submitted with an Appendix consisting of over 4,000 pages of supporting material, details the grave evidence that former President Bush sanctioned and authorized acts of torture, which violates Canadian laws and the international treaties that Canada has ratified. Consequently, the Canadian government has both the jurisdiction and the obligation to prosecute George W. Bush if he sets foot in Canadian territory."
Bush Torture Indictment
Well, given that we have a criminal government ourselves, all that will happen will be that our political culture will provide yet another example of its debasement.
One day though, all those fuckers will be locked up. Except for Cheney and Rumsfeld. They'll have died of old age and/or heart failure.
Perhaps their graves will be desecrated and their memories cursed and their families shamed. But that'll have to do.
