Remember how as Canadians we wondered how a man who lost an election could wind up President of the United States? Twice. Seemed unbelievable at the time didn’t it? The whole idea of democracy is supposed to be that the person with the most votes wins, right? Not necessarily.
Welcome to the New World Order as laid down by the leaders of the three losing parties in the last Canadian federal election. I call them Larry, Curly and Moe for obvious reasons. These stooges cannot and will not accept that they lost. Now they’re trying to pull off an end run. Since none of them induhvidually (sic) had what it took to win an election they’ve all come together to pull off what amounts to a coup.
Oh it’s a bloodless coup all right, staged in the finest traditions of Canadian politeness. No tanks, guns or any real blood. Simply the hopes and desires of all Canadians for a fair and representative government, laid down on the floor of the house of parliament. Nothing to lose any sleep over here, unless you care about democracy in this country. We had an election, they lost. End of story. That, in the eyes of most Canadians means one thing and one thing only: the Conservatives won. Now these losers want to simply take all that and throw it away.
Who cares what you or I want? Not the Liberals, who lost more ground this time around than ever. Not the New Democrats, who have never been anything but a fringe party for all their claims. And certainly not the Bloc, a party dedicated to splitting this great country apart. The absurdity of this coalition is vaudevillian at best and a tragedy for all of us. If these three modern day stooges are allowed to take over the governing of Canada without having won an election it will mean our wonderful democracy has become nothing more than a demockery.
