Our little despot
Harper continues to do his best to ensure Parliament knows he really doesn't give a shit what they think. Like Bush, Harper thinks the executive branch of government is above the law of the land -- and can interpret the constitution at its whim.
I hope for the next election, we get some real choices. I hope that voters actually turn out to vote. And I hope we dismiss Harper and his band of yes-men.
""The executive is really placing itself above Parliament. For the first time that I know in Canadian history, the executive is saying we are superior to Parliament," said Errol Mendes, a University of Ottawa professor who was speaking at an informal hearing of the parliamentary committee looking into the Afghanistan detainee issue. Mendes was referring to the Harper government's refusal to hand over uncensored documents, despite a motion passed in the House of Commons to do so."
