I love the idea of this coalition of the opposition.
Our parliamentary system was thought up by a bunch of rich fucks a long time ago, and inherent in its very design is a discrimination against the views of the true majority.
Our governments have gotten very little done in the last 20 years, other than doling out grats to their fat cat friends who paid for their election campaigns, and their buddies in the party.
We need true representation by population, ridings are arranged right now so that the rich get 2 mla's for every single mla in a poor neighborhood, oversimplified but it is basically true. Whoever draws up the ridings consolidates their rich/poor schism and privilege.
we should scrap the whole party system, we should vote for a leader based on his singular agenda, and then he picks his cabinet from our pool of elected non-partisan mla's, and there should be a review of major decisions by the elected MLA's
Unfortunately the last 20-30 years of Canadian politics has been a fucking shitfest of children in adult bodies throwing feces at each other.
In the last 20 years we've seen a number of ruling parties squeeze ridiculous things in with a larger bill.
Stephen Harper wants to put people in jail for growing a single marijuana plant. Fucker.
Thank all your gods that Cheech and Chong are doing a Canadian tour this month.
Canadian grandmothers don't want to be talking to their grandkids through glass because they grew a couple of plants. He's filling our jails and emptying our pockets...
sorry... getting off topic....fucking right wing kkkristian racist homophobic asshole PRICK!!!!!
I think every Cabinet should be made up of members from the different party's actually, for as long as we stick with the fucked up party system.
What really fucking pisses me off is the way the conservatives talk about themselves as if it was a real majority election and they actually have the "majority" on their side.
Fuck your bullshit Stephen. You're a fucking lying shithead.
Here's what I saw going on with the election...
First of all, Stephen calls the election and only gives us 2 months to prepare for it.
That's not enough time, and we really didn't start to hear what each party was about until almost 2 weeks before the election. He did it that way because he figured that the conservatives had more money, so they'd have more visibility, and if he left it longer then people might actually talk about the REAL issues affecting Canadians, not just the "carbon tax" or some other buzzword shit that they were trying to make the singular focus of the election. The singular issue election is the standard practice of these fucking parrots for the last 20 fucking years.
BTW, the conservatives have a bigger war chest because they accept money for sucking corporate cock, even though they claim prostitution is illegal....but we've seen they'll do anything for a large coporate handout (broken up into "individual sized" amounts to keep things looking legal). Sort of like a whore disguised as a "late night janitor" but with the TNA bag.
Then, they made sure that the 1000 to 3000 homeless people per city couldn't vote.
And THEN, when you actually went to vote you had one single day to do it, and all of the poor neighborhoods had waiting times of over 2 hours, while the rich neighborhoods no one waited more than 45 minutes. So lot's of poor people gave up.
In the end, only 40% of the people eligible to vote in Canada actually voted.
of that 40% only slightly over 1/4 of them voted conservative, but let's say it was 1/3 just to give them the benefit of the doubt.
So thats what, 14%-18% of the actual voting population when you round it UP!!!!!
And that's a Gov't that "the people have chosen"????
That's not enough to say they have the support of the population.
BULL-FUCKING-SHIT
We absolutely need to make voting for the federal gov't mandatory, with a significant tax penalty for non compliance, and a $50-$100 tax credit for all who do vote.
Make it absolutely mandatory. No if ands or buts, even for the homeless, give the homeless a central registry where they can get their identity verified and then let them vote in one riding, wherever they want in the city. Just one.
It's these paper voting rolls that are fucked. The whole process is fucked. Use computers for fucks sake. Cut down on the paperwork.
BUT absolutely keep away from the electronic voting machines for the actual ballot filling out shit or we are just going to have whoever the NSA wants to lead us win every time.
Anyway.
At least with the coalition these different parties are actually gonna sit down with each other and cooperate instead of shouting and whining at each other like a bunch of brats screaming
"Its my turn to be king" "no it's my turn"
(I love this hour has 22 minutes, that was a great skit kids)
This whole fucking setup needs a serious overhaul to make it less combative, like those kids games they make now where there really isn't competition, everybody "works together".
Democracy my fucking ass. Do I sound pissed off? There's flecks of spittle and foam all over my fucking monitor.
I guess that's better than Harper, with Georgie Bush's jizz all over his chin.
I wish I had a fucking spliff to smoke. I'd be a bit less combative myself....
Think about that Harpie.
BTW Canada IS a SOCIALIST country, no matter what you dictator loving freak
