Canadian Politics is EVERYWHERE!

With the vote of non-confidence by the opposition on March 25, 2011, Canadians will be going to the polls once again to determine who will lead this country. For the past five years, the Conservatives have had a minority government with the Liberals being the official opposition. While the polls may have Harper and his crew towards another win, it will most likely be another minority. Here is hoping for the very least a Conservative minority, anything else without them in power is even better.

There are several reasons as to why the Conservatives do not deserve to be at the top. Below are several links you may find useful:

Undemocratic?

These are just a few tidbits of some of the weird stuff going on with them. Not only that, the vote of non-confidence had the attachment of saying that they were in contempt of parliament! CONTEMPT! Meaning they did things that were undemocratic and against the proper procedures. It is unfortunate that many Canadians will not do the research to learn many of the things that are going on.

Now, I am not a big fan of Iggy either. He should have come back to Canada about 10 or so years ago and then established himself with the Liberals. This would have allowed him ample time to connect with Canadians more. This election, however is less of who will be in power, but rather, who shouldn't be.

It is not right to be in contempt of parliament. In fact, it has never happened in the history of Canada before. But Harper would rather not talk about it:

Should Harper have the ability to be re-elected? This site doesn't believe so:

Harper in Contempt

We all know Harper is seeking re-election though. So what do we need to do?

We need to make sure that the Canadian people understand the importance of not letting someone who has been in contempt of Parliament to be re-elected. By voting on May 2, you will be exercising your right to elect someone who will at least speak to Canadians and not talk down to them.
