of Canada" to "The Harper Government".
WTF. It sounds like a joke. I really am expecting the yes men to pop up at the end of these annoucements. Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc made a comment that "You'd expect this kind of directive to be issued by the ministry of information in North Korea" I feel like Harper is doing this kind of stuff to piss people off. Who thought that was a good idea? Really.
I have not really being paying to much attention to the Canadian Government in the past. However, I recently turned 18, and can legally vote. So I decided to start paying attention, and omg I am appalled. What was with Bev Oda's "not". You cannot do that. You dont just pen in the word not and then sign it. I know, I've tried it on True/False tests. Like holy crap, I have listened to Rick Mercer say that our government needs to be constantly supervised, and now I am realizing our government needs to be constantly supervised.
We need national votes on the issues because our government isn't pulling their weight. Every governement debate should be televised, and you should be able to text or call in your vote. It works for So You Think You Can Dance, and it will work for Canada.
Since this post the "Harper Government" has been found of contempt. The first country in the commonwealth to formally be charged of this. Then the budget came out and basically it sucks. There is a slight nod toward some Canadian issues while ignoring many of the needed reforms for Canadians. as James Clancy put it in this article http://www.nupge.ca/content/4153/budget-2011-harper-government-out-touch-can-t-be-trusted-help-struggling-families "the government is completely out of touch with the reality facing most Canadians" and "[The budget] offers nothing to create jobs, it doesn’t invest in the public services that families need and it will make the problem of income inequality worse.”
ReplyDeleteBasically the budget sucks for Canadians and we will be voting this May. All I hope for is that we do not continue to have a Conservative Government.
