More political comments

Well, Michael Ignatieff is the new leader of the Liberal Party after they ousted Stéphane Dion. Bob Rae graciously stepped back. He realized the rest of the Liberals didn’t want him. That means there was nobody else left. Talk about a democratic vote. Let’s hope Mr. Ignatieff has more sense than the rest of them, forgets about overthrowing the legally elected government of Canada, sits down with the elected Prime Minister and starts working for the country. It is time they stop bickering and begin earning their high salaries. Jack Leighton of the NDP is obviously not going to give up that ill conceived scheme. The Unions won’t let him.
The Bloc Québécois don’t care either way. Their only interest is the province of Quebec. They couldn’t care less about the rest of the country.
I’m wondering, if we should have another election and the Conservatives don’t get a majority government, will this whole cycle start again? Will they finally give up and let the democratic process take over or will they carry on with this madness?
The whole world is in turmoil. Our country is in a recession. People are losing their jobs and all these politicians can think of is saving their own skin. The country be damned.

Of course, the United States have their own problems. A governor trying the sell Obama’s vacated seat in the Senate is only one thing. Now there are forces out there who want to find out if Obama was involved in that scheme. He says he didn’t know anything. I wish that is so, because otherwise we’ll face more disaster. They’ll bury him.

The Free World has many enemies. They want to destroy the United States of America, and with it all the other democratic countries who enjoy freedom. They are using this Freedom of Choice against us. We can’t let that happen. That is one of the reasons this whole fiasco we have with our own Canadian government right now must be stopped. Democracy must prevail.

Sometimes I wonder who is behind all this turmoil in the world. Obviously, it is man-created, like most problems we’ve had throughout the centuries of man’s existence. Nobody will ever find out who is responsible for the chaos we are in, but we can be assured, somebody will make money from it. Sounds like a conspiracy theory? Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.

It is fun to write about these things in a novel. But that is fantasy. It doesn’t affect us; only entertains. Possibly makes us think. What is happening right now in the world is reality and no fun at all.

Another political comment

Jack Leighton, the leader of the NDP, has been recorded as saying that the idea of overthrowing the government has been planned long before the election. They (the Liberals, the NDP, and the Bloc) have been waiting for an opportunity to put their plan into action. And Prime Minister Stephen Harper fell into the trap.
Bob Rae, Michael Ignatieff, and Dominic LeBlanc had a secret meeting yesterday to discuss who should be the next leader of the Liberals and therefore the next Prime Minister after the coup.
Their current leader, Stéphane Dion, is to be replaced because he didn’t lead the party to victory in the last election. Dion never struck me as being ‘Prime Minister’ material. I guess the Liberals realized this too late and now they are trying to discard the people’s wishes and take over the government by force.
They (the Coalition) have no concrete plans as to what they are going to do after their successful attempt. All they have are big words about what needs to be done. Their main objective right now is gaining power and keeping the money flowing into their coffers. Never mind who pays for this.
They have no plan. They don’t even know who is going to be their leader. How in the world can we trust people like that?
We send observers to other countries to make certain that voting is done in accordance with democratic principles and without cheating, yet here we are facing a hostile takeover of a government that was voted in by a democratic process. How can we ever criticize others if we allow this to happen?
Jack Leighton, Bob Rae, Michael Ignatieff, Dominic LeBlanc, Gilles Duceppe, and who knows how many others have been scheming to overthrow the legal government.
Isn’t that called Conspiracy? Isn’t that a punishable offense?
Just wondering.
