Hey Canada the Conservatives broke the LAW.

They broke the law, they broke the law, they broke the law, they broke the law.

So the prison zealots - who so wish for American justice and their constitution - no second chance kinda gang - broke the law.

The holier than thou - nice neat right wing Harperites - punishment first and maybe rehabilitation second want us Canadians to allow them to rehabilitate first. No you will be punished first. That means we throw them out of office and they can run again once they have served their time out of office. And we Canadians think that harsher penalties for first time offenders might thwart other parties from doing the same thing. So let's say we punish them for at least two terms out of office.

These hypocritical self-serving cheaters need to be sent their own message.

Is there a problem with media on the Hill? Must be because they have not got the guts to say what Canadians are thinking. They keep skirting the real issue by entertaining Conservative talking heads with speaking notes repeating over and over "I have here in my hand the NDP...I have here in my hand the Liberal..." so what?

Who is charged with violating the Canada Elections Act? Please refer to the beginning of this post.

Are the Conservatives in power? Yes - so they must be held to the highest accountability level.

I expect my MP's from Newfoundland and Labrador to verbally hammer these people in the HOC until they leave their seats in shame. I also expect the same from my public broadcaster.
