forget the election, get back to work

With Parliament resuming today following its two-week Easter break, here are three things all four political parties could immediately do for the good of the nation.

(1) Stop talking about a !@$&#?! spring election.

Has it ever occurred to any of you the reason so many polls show the Tories out in front, but not yet in majority territory — or about where they were after the last election — is Canadians are happy with the way things are?

Maybe they aren’t “volatile” at all. Maybe they don’t trust anyone with a majority, especially after the Liberal AdScam corruption. Maybe they’re not in the mood for a third election in less than three years, at a cost of $250 million. Maybe you should all get back to work. Here’s a few things you can all work on together.

(2) Demand NATO re-enforce our soldiers in Afghanistan.


Canadian troops have been at the sharp end of the stick in the fighting around Kandahar for a long time now.

It’s time other NATO countries started carrying their weight and stopped hiding out in relatively secure Kabul, or making their rules of engagement with the enemy so restrictive they never do any actual fighting.

Liberal Leader Stephane Dion, Bloc Leader Gilles Duceppe and NDP Leader Jack Layton should immediately join Prime Minister Stephen Harper in demanding NATO put a lot more boots on the ground in Kandahar — now. This is a UN-sanctioned, NATO mission. There are lots of countries to draw troops from. Where are they?

(3) Fix medical wait times.

Just two years ago, you all said this was the most important issue confronting Canadians, particularly after the 2005 Supreme Court decision which warned not just Quebec, but all governments in Canada, they either had to reduce medical wait times or allow patients to purchase private care.

Since then, all we’ve heard is self-serving statistics that fudge how long people are actually waiting for care, and, recently, a bizarre declaration from Harper that he had fulfilled his 2005 election promise to deliver a wait times guarantee. Really? On what planet?

Get back to work. All of you.

w.a.s.p. s rule... what else is new...

Has anyone read the book "Wasp Factory"? It's a pretty cool and crazy story about a sociopathic kid. Killing people (and wasps) in very different ways for fun, getting drunk on lager and having a good ole time. If you haven't read it you should... It really is good.

Anyway - I wish we could start our fecked up gov't from scratch. I'm so sick of the Liberals and the Alliance (they aren't real tories...). Noone is going to vote in the NDP and Bloc is the Bloc...

What the hell is a country to do? Nothing will ever change as long as we have such division within our populace. The gap gets wider.

He's more understandable than Cretien was when he was first elected leader of the Liberal Party. I think people tend to overstate the importance of perfect english. It's an advantage, sure, to be perfectly fluent in both languages, but anybody who's going dismiss him because of his english has a pretty short memory.

Anyone who feels that attempting to discredit someone over their mastery of a second language is credible don't count for a meaningful contribution. Wake up. Language, sex, race... They don't matter.

If we keep drawing divisions between ourselves we destroy ourselves (ie our country)...

"Get it together"
