Has NDP already lost the war over
Harper's omnibus bill?, John Ibbitson, May. 10, 2012 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/john-ibbitson/has-ndp-already-lost-the-war-over-harpers-omnibus-bill/article2428375/
This is not a "parliamentary war" where
Mulcair and the NDP are left to "fight the good fight" of true Canadian values.
This is true Canadian values teetering on the precipice.
There is no way Harper is going to back down on the Omnibus bill and it will get passed as such.
Whether the manner in which Harper is passing it is disrespectful of our Parliamentary Democracy, disrespectful of the 2/3 Canadians that didn't vote for him, is simply not a concern of his.
Harper's attitude is he is going to implement his right wing extremist agenda and Canada and Canadian be dam[redacted]ed.
After all, we elected him with a majority as to the victor go the spoils and we must learn to live with that.
It's just that simple.
Mulcair and the NDP can do all they want
But unless
Canadians decide to stand up for themselves and be counted and let it their opinions be known that this maybe Right but it is not right (morally).
that this is not what our forefathers gave their blood, sweat and tears building this great nation of our for.
that this is not what we want to leave for our children and our children's children.
If Canadians speak out about the overall damaging effect that Harper and the Con's policies will have in the long run to Canada not only our economy, and the environment but to the country as a nation, our Democracy and our social fabric, after all it is our children and our children's children that will be required shoulder this withering burdened,
Perhaps Canada can be saved from the Precipice
