GFY Canada

There is not going to be anything eloquent about my writing today - not that I claim it to be as such on a regular basis anyway. I just need to make a few things clear about this constitutional cluster fuck. I recognize the constitutional legitimacy of the coalition government. My discontent with it is not based on an incorrect notion that it is illegal, unconstitutional, or even undemocratic. My issue with this pathetic coalition is based on morals and ethics, not parliamentary nuances. Just because something is legal does not make it morally or ethically sound. I could choose to sleep around on my wife. Technically, I am doing nothing illegal. Jumping in the sack with a different woman every day this week does not make me a criminal. It does make me an asshole. The Dion/Layton/Duceppe coalition is not illegal. It is just morally wrong. It is obvious that Layton had this up his sleeve the day after the election. Anyone willing to argue with me on this one is just plain stupid or ill-informed (which I recognize is the majority of Canadians who vote for this fool). To dress this coalition up as economy crusaders is a slap in the face of the minority of Canadians that have the intelligence and integrity to see it for what it is. And believe me folks, it is a minority (yes I have lost all faith in this country). This coalition is an unreasonable response to a relatively benign economic statement. It is nothing more than a disguised grab for power. People will say that Harper used a constitutional loophole to have parliament prorogued - maybe so. But don't overlook the fact that this coalition is also born from a parliamentary loophole. Are you seeing a trend? The British Parliamentary System is fucked.

If Mr. and Mrs. Dion (or is it Layton) had come out and said, "we are forming this coalition because we hate Harper's guts and the fact that we keep losing to him" I would have had some respect for them. But this economy bullshit is more of what I come to expect from this now unified party of socialist sell-outs.

I have said all along that my disgust with this coalition is non-partisan. Quite frankly there is no party in this pathetic country that represents me any more. I was hoping for a Liberal revival under Mr. Ignatiefff however he too has disappointed me (see previous post). I know Harper is an arrogant prick but at least he can put together a high quality video clip and understands the concept of a deadline. Dion not only missed the deadline, but he put together a video recorded on someone's cell phone. Not that higher quality video would have made him any more understandable.

This post ain't gonna end with a clever musing. This country just sucks.
