The Light at the End of the Harpercrite Dictatorship Tunnel
Winter has come and these are dark days indeed for Canadians.
Our Parliament has failed us.
Our Governor General has proven her lack of use.
Our country stands teetering on collapse as Quebeckers, insulted by Canadians, go to the polls Monday to vote on their choice of leadership. After the way we’ve treated them, I won’t be surprised by anything less than a mandate to separate.
Our coalition of the majority voice of Canada has been rejected and silenced.
Stephen Harper has gotten what he wanted.
He’s now officially a dictator. All Canadians now live in a dictatorship. Democracy is on hold.
Shut it all down kids. Time to pull the plug. The patient’s dead.
Yeah, I’m mad . So are about 8.63 million other Canadians that didn’t vote for Stephen Harper.
This really, really sucks. I’ve spent the last two months speculating, voicing, acting and now it all means nothing. I’m upset and I don’t know what to do.
To quote Bob Rae, this is like the idiot kid pulling the fire alarm to avoid an exam he knows he’s going to fail.
And it’s that notion that gives me hope at my very core.
We have 54 days to January 27, 2009 and when that day comes, Our Coalition is going to kick some Conservative ass.
We have 54 days to pull things together, organize, branch out, communicate, create platforms, encourage a national day of strike and generate the awareness that we need in order to prove our worth.
It was a rough birth, but the baby will be fine.
We’ll bring down the Conservative government on January 27, 2009, regardless of what the Conservatives deliver because the Conservatives have proven that they CANNOT be trusted with the management of this country. I would much rather give the people of Quebec a seat at the table than worry about Stephen Harper and his cronies sabotaging our nation.
The light at the end of the prorogue (or my preferred term, pro-rogue) tunnel is that we will be prepared. We MUST be prepared. If we are not, we deserve everything we get.
Enjoy the Holidays, Steve! You’re going to be booted from office in 54 days by a well-prepared and meaningful coalition.
As I have mentioned on other blog comments, we should be referring to the Harper régime.
On December 4th 2008 Canada's Parliament was “prorogued”. In other words, the pretense of representative government of the colony was dissolved. Prime Minister, Stephen Harper presented a bogus budget to Parliament. He wanted to cut corporate taxes, slash social, education and health programs. He even wanted to cut off the election subsidies to the parties. It was outrageous. He knew it would be rejected. His party was outnumbered. Next Monday, December 8th, he would have had to face a vote of “non-
confidence”, lose and then step down. Then another election would have been called with just about the same result as the last one. Harper would have had another minority government. Canadians have spoken. They don't him to have too much power.
The other parties, the Liberals, New Democratic and Bloc Quebec, decided to form a coalition, which was legal according to their colonial structure. It made sense. It followed Canadian cultural precedent. It has to have been anticipated by Harper and whoever pulls his strings.
What was the real plan? The Governor General of Canada, Michaele Jean, had been sent to Europe to be near whoever pulls the strings of her boss, Queen Elizabeth. The Governor General was called back “suddenly” to fulfill this colonial metaphor about being a single head of state, the “maharajah” who reigns over her subjects in Canada. Harper asked the Governor General to discontinue Parliament for eight weeks [or more].
“Prorogue” means to discontinue meetings of parliament without dissolving it. In other words, it's a dictatorship. The Prime Minister can indefinitely extend his term of office if he can create the “need” for it. It was a measure meant to take care of emergencies – like war. It was not meant to allow a prime minister to assume dictatorial power, or to do an end run around the discussions that should take place when people living in widely separate places with different needs have to work together. Cana
da's chaotic state is a sign that differences are coming out and their system cannot deal with it.
During this time Harper does either as he's told or as he pleases according to the secret clique that's pushing him. In the meantime, Harper has set up meetings across Canada to rile up the people into a frenzy of anger, pitting everybody against each other. His remarks about the people in Quebec have been particularly offensive and meant to start fights. Is he trying to break up Canada? Or is he just trying to create a “pretext” for martial law?
The latter: The Harper regime and the crowd of Harpercrites is a pretext for martial law in Canada. I argue that it's already here, just without the tanks and army marching down the street.
