Trudeau or True Dope?
Now that Prime Minister Stephen Harper (funny, I STILL don't think of him as Prime Minister - just some schmuck who landed the top job by default) has (for some inexplicable reason known only to him since he doesn't delegate power or share information - even within and with his own party, which is even more inexplicably - the Government of Canada), decided to same sex marry Charlottetown to Meech Lake to produce a Nation Resolution, I've noticed the Right keeps referring to all the Federalists opposing this treachery as Trudeaupians.
Oh. Really. And you call yourselves then... True Dopes?
Because, like, since when is being a Federalist inconsistent with being a Conservative, Liberal, or NDPer? Or did I miss something said by Stephen Harper on the campaign trail. A sixth promise. Something about heading off a provocation by the ridiculous Gilles Duceppe by appeasing the even more ridiculous Separatiste Mouvement first. I could have missed that promise, I guess. Although, I listened pretty carefully for indications that once Stephen Harper was elected Prime Minister he would straight away begin to enact his hidden agenda to dismantle the Country. And honestly? I do not recall him saying he would introduce a Resolution calling Quebec a Nation within Canada. I simply do not recall that.
So, I don't think he said anything of the kind. Because if he had - HE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ELECTED PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA!
But am I really surprised that Stephen Harper, Albertan, would introduce such a Resolution? No. No I am not. But I most certainly AM surprised that PARLIAMENT VOTED LAST NIGHT OVERWHELMINGLY IN FAVOUR OF IT!
My, oh my. What a treacherous group we have representing us all in Parliament these days. Traitors, really, if you stop and think about it. Spineless, weak-kneed, yellow belly sapsucking - Traitors.
But speaking of "Where Have All The Trudeaus Gone?" would the Big T be rolling over in his grave or cheering Stephen Harper on? So... that... a politician who is actually young enough and smart enough and hip enough to be in step with Canadians - including the majority of Quebeckers who have consistently voted "No" to any Separatiste Referendums put to the People of Quebec re Nationhood - will actually win the Liberal Leadership convention and give Canadian Federalists - the vast majority of Canadians - someone to vote for in the next Federal election?
Yup. I suspect the old Jesuit would be cheering on the Bumpkin. "Go ahead. Call Quebec a Nation. Make my day. Punk." Because no one played politics like Trudeau and boy - has Harper stepped in his own poopie. Cripes, stepped in it? He may as well have smeared himself in it. Here I thought Michael Ignatieff, American, had blown it with his "Nation of Quebec" musings. It is to laugh. And I'm not even a Trudeauphile. I found him to be quite hideous, really. But he articulated for voters, gave voice to us in Parliament as it were, how we feel about Federalism. Not to mention how we feel about the essential racism of Separatism. Because it is racist. The Separatiste Mouvement is a backward, racist movement that has nothing to do with the REAL People of Quebec and everything to do with a minority of Quebecois who want racial purity to be the defining feature of Quebec.
It is distinctly Un-Canadian. "Distinct" is what you smell emanating from Parliament today.
Meanwhile, for some reason, in political La-La-Land, the current crop of lesser Canadians running the country are okay with the whole "Quebec Nation" thing. A vast majority of them are okay with it, in fact. Well... newsflash, Poliboys. It's not okay with a vast majority of Canadians. And if I was one of the majority of Quebeckers who voted "No" in the last Referendum, I'd be sorely tempted to start up a Referendum asking this question of all Canadians: "Should the current Parliament be hung as Traitors to the Country of Canada and a new election held immediately?"
Gee, maybe the Americans can be useful for once and help us out with their Treason Act or Patriotism Act or whatever the hell it's called and we can get this ball rolling. Hang Parliament and start over. Except this time - you'll have to swear an allegiance to Canada when you declare a desire to run for election.
Because surely the New Conservative Government of Canada would acquiesce to such a request for a Referendum. The Old Reform Party of Canada turned CCRAP believed very strongly in Referendums. Of course, Prime Minister Harper also believed very strongly in firewalls. I mean, who, with the exception of the entire mainstream media during the last election campaign, could forget THIS letter:
In any case, if the Liberal delegates to the Convention fail to elect a Federalist leader for their Party, then I believe we can start calling ourselves, officially, "The Stupidest Country in the World".
And we have Prime Minister Stephen Harper to thank for the rest of the world nodding in agreement.
Don't fail us now. Elect an avowed Federalist or don't bother electing anyone at all. More traitors we don't need.
