I presume you have been listening to the frenzied call for a majority by Stephen Harper to Canada and Canadians.
He says things like stability and security - in his efforts to frighten Canadians away from their own democracy.
Twice now we have had a stable and secure parliament as elected by Canadians. Our free democratic choice at the polls. Is Harper suggesting that we were wrong? Is he saying Canadians are stupid and he will keep folding parliament either directly or indirectly until Canadians get it right?
Stephen Harper must understand that he and all other MP's and political parties must work within the numbers Canadians elect. If that is a minority - then the governing party must work with all MP's to find compromise that reflects the ideologies properly and legally elected by people of this Country.
If Harper and company receive a minority - then he must work with all MP's to find a balanced way through for our people. If not - a coalition must be sought within parliament and they must work to find that balance. That has been the will of our people in the past two elections. Stephen Harper does not accept our elected choices. Stephen Harper is saying to Canadians - I am only willing to make parliament work if you give me a majority.
Stephen Harper is like an American fish out of water in Canadian politics and he would like the Country to adapt to him. That is the arrogance of this man - and also the danger he presents to our nation.
Stephen Harper will not accept that you and I will vote NDP, Liberal, Green, or Bloc. He will tell us that we are going to destruct if we continue with minorities, coalitions, or other parliamentry arrangements.
What makes all of this worse is that he lies over and over and will continue to do so - to get and retain power. He will eliminate unacceptable Canadians from his public election events after an "electoral background check" is done on citizens of this country.
He will take one of the cornerstones of a mature democracy - the media - and control them also - with question limits and physical accessability to him. This is what he sends our military to fight against in other countries.
The most disingenuous rendition of lyrics I have ever heard - is this man singing "Imagine". I do not believe John Lennon could have found anyone so polar opposite to himself and no doubt would cringe that Harper would sing this song in yet another lie to gain majority control of Canada.
If Stephen Harper will not accept your choices on election day - do the right thing this time and tell him to move on.
Note on the Lennon performance by Harper. Lenono music has now claimed copyright and has removed the video from youtube. Happy to see that - but the Conservatives and Harper used it to alter image yet again.

Canada must adapt to Mr. Harper!! As a Newfoundlander, I don’t think so. Don’t forget, this is the same Stephen Harper that said before he became prime minister that Newfoundland should be cut free to float out into the Atlantic. This type of attitude doesn’t change in five years. As for his majority-why is Mr. Harper pleading (begging) for his majority at every stop along the political trail? Could it be that he knows he is out of a job if he can only deliver another minority? If he was a leader to be trusted then the majority of Canadians would have given him the majority he is now begging for!
