neoCONz so its really perfect..Regal neoColonial

neoCON putsch…… Do ya HOMEWERK… Find OUT

“The Queen’s “representative” had “prorogued” the

Canadian parliament…… She said “no way”…

BUT the unhappy truth seems 2Bb that a foreign

“sovereign” has [temporary] “final say” in the

circumstances of Canadian governance……….

I can see the advantages of this arrangement BUT

seems 2me more like meddling that mediating…

UUUhhhhhh BUT meddling is “without right or

invitation” SOOO in this case, its NOT meddling

BECAUSE [apparently] the Canadians invited this

or failed to dis-invite this foreign sovereign

VETO power!!

“Correspondents in Ottawa | December 06, 2008
Article from: The Australian

THE unelected Governor-General of Canada agreed to order an unprecedented suspension of parliament yesterday to save the Conservative minority Government from almost certain defeat in a no-confidence vote.”

+++ WOW, it SAYS it ALL ++++++

*75% of Canadians are “truly scared.”
*If election held, Conservatives would win a majority with a record 46% support.
*61% are against taxpayer-funded party subsidies.
*60% for fighting coalition.
*59% prefer Conservatives to tackle economy.

I’m not even going to gloat, as this is not in my respectful nature.

But if I did, it would only to ask how in hell supposed intelligent opposition leaders could think forcefully stripping power from a stable and successful minority government, just weeks after an election and bringing Canada to its knees was going to be a good thing for anyone?

In the morning-after calm of the GG’s wise prorogue, only the opposition looks like a bunch of foaming-mad monkeys. This doesn’t even need to be confirmed by the public lashings the coalition is now taking from members of their own parties.

The coalition’s best bet now is to paint Harper as a brilliant machiavellian svengali.

LOL

I guess the GG isn’t appointed and didn’t “shut down” the Gov’t?

Too idiots that don’t understand what they are posting about.

The queen does not rule Canada. It is a sovereign country and a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations.

No one is appointed that can shut down the government.

Apparently, they still rule you. Must suck to have a person appointed by a foreign power, shut down your government.

To continue my #48 comment, see # 45 pedro for an example of his Cuban intellect.

QB, Named, MikeR, and others. That is a good run down on Canadian politics. Thank you all.

As Trudeau put it, the NDP are just Liberals in a hurry.

Through Canada’s history, it has been the NDP that has been the driving force behind most of Canada’s social programs and best government. It has also been during minority governments that the Government functioned the best and most responsibly. Of course, the Conservatives are the exception to that rule.

Don’t worry about #20, pedro. He is from Cuba and doesn’t quite understand the whole democracy thing. He has this notion that only the people he approves of should have any power.

Everyone is looking at the Bloc right now. I think people should be paying attention to the UAW and the NDP during this shaky time in Southern Ontario. Buzz Hargrove jumped on the coalition pretty fast…

Meanwhile, back at ranch, the Mop and Pail has an article on the Alliance/Conservative/BQ coalition talks back in 2000.
