No. Do I think they should? Yes. So why not do it sooner rather than later.<BR/><BR/>But I appreciate logic isn't big with these guys.<BR/><BR/>And Major did work...in the short term. The Conservatives were going to lose that election with Thatcher. They got rid of her, put in Major and they won. So, for them at that time, good politics. Probably hurt them more in the long run, but as you may have noticed this week, most politicians have a hard time thinking in the long term.<BR/><BR/>The Liberals need to pick a new leader now and show some leadership. Instead both Rae and Ignatieff look like they're going to take opposite sides on the coalition and start campaigning on it. And neither wants to move the date up from May. There's the boldness I want in a leader.<BR/><BR/>And I will kick the Greens because if you want to be taken seriously as a political party, then act seriously. And Elizabeth May was an absolute joke last week.<BR/><BR/>As for the GG she made the choice that constitutionally she could make. There was no consensus on which way she should go.<BR/><BR/>Now if you want to argue about whether or not the GG should continue to exist, that's a point worth looking at.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-5580582979990564772008-12-05T07:17:00.000-05:002008-12-05T07:17:00.000-05:00Personally I think suspending Parliament is absolu...Personally I think suspending Parliament is absolutely the wrong decision for the Governor General to make. Not out of any support for any side in this mess but for what it does to any future government wanting to avoid a vote of non-confidence.<BR/><BR/>All the parties should be sent to a corner though. It's just a prime example of how all the parties will say anything to keep or gain power, to hell with the better good of the country.

I have a paper to write, it’s the first day of my vacation come on stop dragging me in. lol I’m going to start thinking you enjoy my rantings.Write about curling so I can go about my day. <BR/><BR/>Not so much my wraith as I feel the need to take a blowtorch to the rust laden faulty arguments you have tossed out.<BR/> <BR/>Yes, time for Dion to go. We agree there. Everyone grows the fuck up? I’m sorry there is only one petulant 14 year old on the hill who thinks he’s the smartest man in the country, that’s the guy in the sweater vest. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Conservatives – John Major, you are using him as a successful example of a parliamentary coup? My god Craig, I mean honestly, there is so much wrong with that example alone. Two, I think you don’t understand the nature of these conservatives. While some are no doubt mad at Stephen for screwing the pooch with his move, they don’t disagree with the content of his move. Again, pay equity, civil servants, government, unions, red meat for the base. Most you’ll get from his base would be “ too soon Steven” and “hey what about fighting the homosexuals?” The base is not unhappy with Harper in the same way that Thatcher was, not by a long shot. They are happy to be dominated by this tyrant, it’s part of their conservative nature.<BR/><BR/>Reigncide is not a conservative trait it’s a Liberal trait.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Liberals – Okay you are right here, except for your praise of the Mope and Pail. The paper has written consistent crap on this matter. “Harper had room to grow, he hasn’t, he must go, he must stay.” This paper of Bay street and the corporation, can’t think outside the box to save it’s life. They’ve tied their lines to Harper. Oh no need to cite the CTV and Globe separately, both are owned by the same wonderful man, who loves Harper’s undying support for the state of Israel. That part is a series of blogs in itself.<BR/><BR/>NDP –I’m not generally a NDP supporter but I don’t think they were childish or drooly at all. They advocated WAIT FOR IT, a stimulus package. Economics 101, this is a time for governments to spend money, as the public will not. Governments can’t turn off the tap, they have to inject money into the economy. You have the Yanks putting up to 1.5 Trillion dollars into their economy and you have Flaherty and Harper fudging numbers and hiding under rhetoric.<BR/><BR/> If you are looking for a better paper and some information on economic theory, got to New York Times and read some Paul Krugman. Little at times but sound economic theory. For bonus work, read the Guardian, look at some their columnists as well. Then come back and take a look at what the NDP advocated and see how out to lunch they were.<BR/><BR/>BQ – Um again, un no. The rest of Canada, particularly the West, and our wonderful rural residents show themselves to be simple minded and biased fools who only prove the need for electoral boundaries to be changed so that people in the cities have more of a say then they do. If anything I can understand having the Bloc representing Quebec, it’ll be a shame about the PQ winning or making the Quebec government a minority again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Green – eh you did okay on this one, but really was there a need?<BR/><BR/>Again, I think the GG made the wrong choice and I think Harper will come back with a budget that will no doubt be more of the same in regards to ideology trumping economics. He’ll never be a Keynesian economist. He’ll cut, cut, cut, and spend nothing. We’ll be back at the same place at the end of January. Hopefully the Liberals need to get a new leader and remember this is a “Chicago fight”<BR/><BR/>Okay tomorrow, write about curling or dog pictures, come on help me out.<BR/><BR/>JasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-36663137423867038872008-12-05T00:10:00.000-05:002008-12-05T00:10:00.000-05:00Oh, I'll prorogue you.
