Interesting that this gentleman , a constitutional expert, claims that Harpers govt is worse than ignorant , more like disgusting , by misleading (deliberately) the public on the validity of the coalition govt.



http://www.straight....rather-ignorant

It would appear that pretty much what he says is true and paints not a rosy picture of what went on.

My question is, where was the media in all that. I guess the msm isnt so Liberal huh?

Has any Canadian government been better than ignorant?
McKenzie King screwed the pooch, Trudeau screwed Canadian Anglos, Diefenbaker screwed the Air Industry and the Armed forces, Kreetin screwed the country, Martin screwed the Liberal party & John Turner & Kim Campbell screwed themselves and Mulroony screwed us all.

Some of us [*cough* like me *cough*] were aware of that ages ago.

Following the whole thing. It's just that the majority of the media is ignorant of the rules of parliamentary democracy.

Oh I was sure you knew all about this. You tend to be spot on in matters of constitution and monarchy stuff .

And you got to toot your own horn!

Yawn. Libs and the NDP would have used exactly the same rhetoric if it suited them. For evidence look at the number of Libs/Dippers claiming that the CPC is undemocratic because it was elected by a minority of voters.

Fascinating to see how the partisan firewall youve contructed in your mind isolates you from any possible critical thought.

No matter what your party does, you can just say "so and so would have done it to!" or "so and so did the same thing way back when".

Government corruption? NO problem! Other parties are corrupt too!

GOvernment incompetence? NO problem! Other parties are incompetent too!

Contempt for the voters! Its cool man! Theyre all doin it today!

Bugger a small child? No worries! I bet Jack Layton would have buggered THREE!

All it means is I have low opinion of all politicians and I simply don't believe that any other batch of yahoos is going to be any better. Now if the conservatives started doing things that actually mattered like passing regulations designed to shutdown money making industries then I would start to complain. So far they seem to be getting the important stuff right.

I also have no patience for partisan yahoos who raise a lot of noise about irrelevant issues when they know that if the tables were reversed they would defend their party for doing exactly the same thing.

I'm not sure that Peter Russell is a "partisan yahoo".

I'm not sure that Peter Russell is a "partisan yahoo".

He is only whining about conservative rhetoric. He makes no mention of the libs/dippers who claim that the conservative government is 'undemocratic' because it was elected with a minority of the popular vote. These kinds of one sided attacks make him a partisan even if he does not intend to be.

That said, it may not be his fault since he is only being asked questions presented by a partisan media. He might have equal distain for the libs/dippers but we will never know that thanks to the biased media.

Muclair would destroy "your" Canada by killing the economy with regulations, taxes and deficits. No one gives a damn about the environment if they can't find a job.
