Time out for bad behavior

I love how the three stooges are trying to convince Canadians that Mr. Harper is somehow responsible for the current mess. Excuse me? This whole tragic comedy was started when he tried to reduce government spending by stopping the subsidization of political parties at the taxpayers’ expense. That’s right folks, he tried to save us some money!

Nothing like greed to bring politicians together now is there? To me this is somehow reminiscent of the Iraq war. First they were there to find the weapons of mass destruction. Then, when there weren’t any to be found, suddenly they were there to liberate the country. First the stooges balk at losing their welfare then they try to blame their stupidity on the government of the day rather than admit it was simple greed.

As for Mr. Dion becoming Prime Minister, what a joke! This man was barely able to get elected and let’s face it, was already on his way out as party leader. Now he sees a miracle! A way to seize power and fulfill his wildest fantasies without ever having won an election. As for Mr. Layton, the less said the better. Why he would choose to support Dion is a question only he can answer but I suspect it has something to do with the ‘anyone but Harper’ campaign he initiated during the last election. What motivates the Bloc is another matter but again, greed is no doubt the major factor. All want their slice of the pie, a pie Mr. Harper was trying reduce in size.

So in steps the governor general. Because the children won’t behave, she suspended parliament to give everyone a time out. It is to be hoped the three stooges will take this time to consider what they are attempting to do. I for one do not care that one of theses stooges is heading up a party dedicated to the separation of Quebec from Canada. What troubles me is their collective ability to govern. I cannot honestly see them accomplishing anything good for Canada. If they do manage to seize power in their bloodless coup, they will be in the same position many a third world dictator has found himself in. Seizing power is easy, exercising it wisely is not.
