So who needs a government?

Right at the moment Canada does not have a government. Can you see the difference? Really? Try as I may I honestly cannot see any change. Life goes on with or without the clowns in Ottawa. In fact, most times Canada functions in spite of the politicians, not because of them. People who have had their appendix removed live quite normal and healthy lives, never missing the apparently functionless organ. In the same way, Canada seems to be getting along just fine without parliament. Could it be that they too have become essentially a functionless organ we can live without?

Historically this would not seem to be the case. However bad and dysfunctional a parliament is, they do seem necessary. Monarchs who have tried to rule without them fail. Conversely, when parliament has tried to do away with the monarch it hasn’t worked out that well either. Both are apparently needed. Our own governor general had to step in when Canada’s parliament could not effectively rule. Perhaps over the Christmas break the three less than wise men currently attempting to hijack our government will come to their senses and allow it to function properly.
