As the Liberal
"governing by undoing" continues, this time clearer heads have
prevailed. Suddenly, with no minority government or opposition to worry
about, the Liberals have completely changed their whiny, spoiled, school yard
kid stance (the NDP is also guilty) on Canada's electoral system, that has
worked for almost a century and a half, to "the rules might not be so bad
after all....this majority government kind of feels good….great system!".
Translated
(from French to English for non-Canadian readers) from an interview “The Justin”
had with La Presse, "Under Mr. Harper, there were so many people who were
unhappy with the government and his approach that people said, ‘We need
electoral reform in order to stop having governments we don’t like”. Canadians, if you don’t like the party
in power – vote for someone else at the next election, that’s what the “system”
is for! It is also called “casting a vote” about which many Canadians are
apathetic. The Conservatives obtained its majority and were thrown out under
the same rules.
(Or more ironically,
at the end of The Jusin’s majority-lead term, when the balloon deficits, weaker
C$, reduced military, further citizenships reinstated for terrorists, increased
personal/corporate/environmental taxes and cancelled pipelines are finally on
the record, maybe we will be talking about electoral reform again? )
