I honestly thought that I would never have to write another word about the Con clown John Baird. And it was such a great feeling. I thought I had said all I needed to say about his shabby political career in this post. But unfortunately I'm going to have to write another post to register my protest at the way the opposition parties fell over themselves praising him yesterday. Or all but canonizing him. Making it sound like he was a saint flawed only by his partisan passion, instead of a political thug.
Well I see that Great Batty Leader will be flying back to Parliament later today. And I'd like to think the pundits are right when they predict turbulence ahead. But all I see is more of the same. A lot of sound and fury in a dead Parliament, where the Cons do what they want, and the opposition can't stop them.
I see that Great Batty Leader has been flapping around the darkened halls of Parliament claiming that Canadians don't care about democracy...or the Con Torture and Rape Scandal. Prime Minister Stephen Harper says Canadians aren't really concerned about allegations that the government engaged in a cover-up over the abuse of Afghan detainees. "I think polls have been pretty clear that that's not on the top of the radar of most Canadians..." Uh oh. Run for for your lives!!!! It's a moral implosion !!!!! I fear the winged would be dictator may be desperate...or RABID. But who cares eh? The grassroots revolt is growing. "The audacity. The epic scale of the cynicism. The arrogance of a regime that thinks it can get away with just about anything." And all I know is that after looking on helplessly for so long as our beautiful country was dragged through the gutter, it's going to feel sooooo good to join other Canadians in sending a loud message to Harper and his Cons. Enough is ENOUGH. Our Parliament belongs to the people, not to a power hungry thug and his ugly pack of baying jackals. Democracy IS important. Covering up torture is beneath contempt. We need a public inquiry. And we want our country BACK...
