Give Harper the boot!

Just another example of how Harper and the Con's simply have no real intention of working with the other Parties and every intention of thrust upon Canadians policies designed only for their own political benefit and with no consideration for what is real for the good of Canadians.

One need only look at their little book on how to disrupt Parliamentary Committees, etc, to see the strategy – disrupt the working group until it is totally dysfunctional and then try to blame it on the other Parties.

This was likely a well established strategy right from the formation of the EI working group on the part of Harper and the Con's.

Any real policy on EI would take a considerable amount of time to develop. They must have been doing this secretly and at the same time as they were paying 'lip service' to their commitment to work together on the committee.

If Harper and the Con's were conducting themselves in good faith they ought to have presented it to the working group.

The alternative is that they are dumping upon the Canadian people something has they have thrown together in the last few days for political purposes and nothing else.

This is not how a modern, world class, developed democracy works.
