Barrel Strength

Occasionally I find the views of my friend the Dark Lord to be worthy of a post in the august company of the whiskey swilling ranks of the BarrelStrengthians.

Folks:

I return from the country to find my e-mail box surprisingly bereft of
comments.

About what? The assault on the due process in political life.

What is happening here?

A cabal of shysters, socialists and separatists have figured that they can
achieve power by virtue of a quirk of constitutional antiquities.

Point 1:

As far as I know the Liberals and the NDP do not have the seats in the House
to outvote the Conservatives. Therefore, any prospective coalition must
depend on support from the Bloc Quebecois. As such, any coalition must
depend on the Bloc as a decision-making segment of the Federal Government.

For a Federal Government to invite the support of any party that has, as its
objective, the break up of Canada, into the decision-making process, is
nothing short of sedition.

The Bloc enjoys the support of Quebec voters, but represents no-one in the
nine other provinces of Canada. It does not present candidates or gain any
votes in nine out of ten provinces in Canada. Any federal coalition
inviting their support is inviting the destruction of Canada. Do we need
any other indication that the opposition is motivated by any other
consideration than that of immediate power, perhaps granted by a quirk of
political fate?

Thus, any coalition will be beholden to the votes of a party that has as its
avowed objective to break up the federation. This is sedition.

Point 2:

None of the opposition parties would have had the guts to do this if they
thought that they had to face the voters. They are banking on escaping an
election. They are depending on not facing election. They fear it. They
are intent on avoiding it.

Point 3:

The Governor General can avoid any problems by calling an election.

Point 4:

The Opposition found that they were no longer going to get free handouts
from the taxpayer. Their lifelines were being threatened because they
cannot get sufficient support from free citizens who would voluntarily
contribute to their respective political parties. In order to protect their
avenue of lucre, they sought to defeat the government. Protection of that
flow of taxpayers’ money was all that was required for the opposition get
visceral. However, their concern for maintaining their free money from the
taxpayers was far outweighed by their opposition to a new election. Oh, it
would cost money!

No amount of money is too great to ensure that the views of the elecotrate
are properly reflected in their government. No price is too high to pay.
Millions of lives have been given by Canadians to protect freedom and
liberty, here, and in many other countries. To claim that their concerns
about not receiving free money for their political parties are legitmate,
and to claim that an election, where the voters actually have a choice, is
not required, is to show their complete contempt for democracy.

Point 5:

As far as I know, Duceppe has not actually signed any deal in writing.
There is thus no deal, no coalition.

Point 6:

I urge all of you, regardless of your political predilictions, to pay
attention to the fact that usurping power in a democracy requires, in
matters of decency and honour, to seek a mandate. Any Canadian government
that invites the support of those who would break up the country, is
seditious. Should such a regime come to power, it would be a bastard
regime, illegitimate, void of all moral worth, and, if it should come to
power, must be defeated at the first opportunity.

Point 7:

I have just heard the Prime Minister’s speech–I felt it right, but lacking.
However, when I heard the appalling drivel from Dion, Harper’s speech
seemed stronger. My better half said that Harper’s holding his cards to his
chest. Maybe, she’s right. I hope so.

Point 8:

It’s time to stand up and be counted. This is a coup of the embedded Liberal
establishment to grasp power at any opportunity. Let’s remember, if they
want to bring in a new government, let them face the voters. Anything less,
is a descent to a banana republic.
