Right-wing columnist Norman Spector was all aglow on Twitter yesterday, responding to the news that the BC Liberals are contemplating a name change.
So by now you've probably heard that rather than address the fact that he is allowing our men and women in uniform, to take the fall for his potential war crimes; or explain his prorogation in the name of naked self interest; our humble dictator has crawled out of his hole and threatened to take his ball and go home."After hearing the news, the NDP argued that the House of Commons should resume sitting immediately. “Instead of playing silly games, the PM should recall Parliament right away to deal with all the important issues facing Canadians,” said Karl Belanger, spokesperson for NDP ...Leader Jack Layton.
Liberal House Leader Ralph Goodale mocked the Conservatives’ sudden change of heart from demanding time to “recalibrate” to now wanting to toil straight through. “It’s clearly a government in full panic mode trying to scramble out of a mess they created,” Goodale said in an interview Wednesday night. He said the Liberals, who have remained in Ottawa holding public round table discussions on issues of the day, would entertain any “serious proposition” from the Conservatives.
“We’ve been here all the time . . . They’re the ones who took the holiday, not us,” he said.
Today I've decided to prorogue Norman Spector, and in fact from here on in, I will be proroguing all Canadian media who think that this whole bloody thing is a game.
Today Mr. Spector is gushing and gooing over Harper's latest ploy to pull a fast one on the opposition. When will the Canadian media realize that this country is in trouble and they are only enabling this ruthless dictator?
With Parliament closed, Harper is still managing to drag the country down with inaction on climate change, the economy and unemployment. He has violated the integrity of our soldiers by still insisting that they must wear the shame of the Afghan Detainee issue. By twisting logic he has clearly laid the blame on their shoulders and our men and women in uniform are not impressed.
With Parliament closed he has manged to make a mockery of human rights agencies and gut funding for women's health issues.
With Parliament closed he has still allowed Jason Kenney to engage in domestic terrorism, by continuing to promote an unchecked assault on Palestine by the Israelis, so that nut can help fulfil a Biblical prophesy.
With Parliament closed, Harper has still managed to cancel a program to produce HIV vaccine, because heaven forbid someone receiving the vaccine might be gay.
With Parliament closed, he has still allowed Stockwell Day, the man who may even be more criminally insane than Jason Kenney, to start slashing important programs that don't agree with his warped view of religion.
So to my dear Mr. Spector. Smarten the hell up. This is not about who out maneuvered who. This is OUR country dammit, Those are OUR Parliament buildings. It is OUR money, and MPs are OUR employees. We don't pay them to play games. We pay them to govern and if they can't do that the only manoeuvring taking place, will be US manoeuvring THEM out of office.
And what was it that got Norman so excited he can barely breath? The most ridiculous tactic to date. Cancelling March break. Harper is no longer just evil, he's an absolute moron, who believes these childish games will trump war crimes, and suspending our democracy.
Can you say ELECTION NOW?
