What I love about this country is that we are allowed to disagree. People have different ideas in Canada thus should work together and share their ideas rather than shove them down each others throats.
No, Canadians as a whole didn't vote for the things you said, Canadians as a whole elected a government that was supposed to cooperate with the opposition, that's why they chose a minority. That is the real mandate Canadians gave all 308 MPs when they voted for their local MP(not a Prime Minister)on October 14th. Canadians clearly indicated that they wanted the 4 parties to put their heads together to battle the economic crisis.
So far, I have seen 3 parties fulfilling their mandate and last that I checked, the Tories are not one of them..
The following parliament configurations are possible:
-4 paties working together
-3 parties working together
-2 parties working together
-Each party refuses to work with the others - POLITICAL DEADLOCK-
As long as I see one of the first 3 on the list happen, I'll know that the manadate Canadians gave to their MPs will be fulfilled.
I guess we'll have to leave it at that, we seem to be at a stalemate, you think what you think, I think what I think. We both are convinced we are right and think the other is wrong. I guess that we are no better than the politicians in Ottawa. I guess our parliamentary crisis directly reflects the disagreements that Canadians have amongst themselves.
Most of us will cool off the debating for the holidays and enjoy them, I know I will. However, I'm very anxious to see what will play out in January. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
