It is almost embarrassing that Harper has ordered our troops into another war zone - in the name of democracy - when he undercuts our system every chance he gets.
CO-A-LI-TION Jim Flaherty enunciated in the House of Commons yesterday. He was angry, frustrated, and generally behaving in a way unbecoming a Finance Minister. Coalition Minister Flaherty is possible under our Democratic process and is not something you should use as a fear tactic. It is no more fearful than a minority acting as a majority - or using the House of Commons to mislead - or breaking laws under the Elections Act.
Let me try this one PA-ROGU-ING the House of Commons and the misuse of the Governor General's office as a matter of political expedience.
The Conservatives would have Canadians believe that elections are a bad thing. If that's the case they should have acted like a CO-A-LI-TION and found a way to satisfy the majority of the House of Commons (the peoples' representatives).
The Conservatives would have us believe that a CO-A-LI-TION is evil - yet something they were willing to do for political expedience. They have significant allies they have agreed to go into Libya with (the UK) who are operating under an "evil" CO-A-LI-TION.
The Conservatives are the most anti-democratic lot I have ever seen.
They lie to the electorate for a vote.
They cheat during an election for a vote.
They mislead Canadians in the HOC after the vote.
They have lied on income trusts, an elected and effective Senate, equalization, accountability, and patronage - and they are not telling the whole truth about not wanting an election. It may certainly stop the continued hemorrhaging of information which would make most Canadians not trust a word out of their mouths.
Harper needs to move to a country which accommodates his belief that he is entitled to power.

Democracy Under Attack....what a load of dramtic hogwash.
Place like Yemen and Libya have their democracies under attack.
In Canada...nothing could be further from the tuth.
You consistently fling out these comments which says that you do not have a clue what you are talking about...not a sweet clue.
If you think that attacks on peaceful protesters like in Toronto for the G20, increased secrecy of government, rampant cronyism, policies that favor corporations over people, and politians that continually lie to the population are not attacks democracy then you, Mr.Anonymous, do not have a sweet clue what democracy is.
Just because Canada doesn't have a tinpot dictator like Yemen or Libya doesn't mean we have a healthy democracy.
Our government is getting closer to a plutocracy or oligarchy everyday, but I suspect you don't know what they are either.
