We'll be a failed democracy.<br /><br />Last weekend there were two editorials in the Toronto Star. One on Ontario election prospects the other on federal electoral outlook. <br /><br />Both of them normalized the idea that the harpercons, or the new harrisites are an acceptable part of our political culture.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-86234637755662393512011-02-05T14:24:06.793-05:002011-02-05T14:24:06.793-05:00Honestly, the budget is almost irrelevant at this ...Honestly, the budget is almost irrelevant at this point. If the Libs/NDP/BQ fail to bring Harper down on this "security perimeter" nonsense, they will have totally nullified their status as a parliamentary opposition. And if Canadians don't rise up and halt this Orwellian Harper/Obama initiative, or at least insist that it undergo parliamentary or plebiscitary ratification (like the FTA did), we will have officially become a failed state.Sir Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052750849770350973noreply@blogger.com
