Feel like writing a letter to the editor but feel uninformed?
web statisticsYour government has the solution! You can now use their party website to get all your rhetoric, send it to the media of your choice and sign your name to it! Democracy is now so easy, the Conservatives will do all the thinking for you!

It’s amazing!

Feeling depressed? It’s the Liberals fault!
Don’t like your job? It’s the separatist coalitions fault!
Don’t like the majority of Canadians having equal rights to a minority of Canadians? Then Stephen Harper is a strong leader.
Think that compassion for others is deeply wrong? Canadians clearly voted for Mr. Harper to battle all threats to our ‘democracy’.

I’m so glad that I no longer need to think about or analyze politics. I can now just have the Conservatives do it for me.

Some sample speaking points, should you find yourself uninformed or blind with rage that everyone isn’t the same as you;

- This fall, Canadians gave the Conservative government a clear mandate to continue taking action on the economy.
- During a global downturn, the last thing our country needs for Opposition politicians to claim entitlements for your tax dollars and ultimately, to take power without a mandate from the people.
- Under Stephen Harper's leadership, our government was ahead of the curve in anticipating the global economic slowdown. We are injecting billions in stimulus through tax cuts, investments in roads and bridges, and we are protecting the banking system.
Our focus is the economy, but Opposition parties have their own priorities. While all Canadians are tightening our belts, they feel entitled to make taxpayers pay for political party staff, polls and advertising. They want to replace the elected government, just to preserve $17 million worth of entitlements.
- This is clearly unacceptable for a modern democracy.
- The Speech from the Throne was passed by the House of Commons yesterday - after the details of the Economic and Fiscal Update were known.
- After approving the Speech from the Throne, the opposition now is trying to orchestrate a backroom deal to "take" power rather than "earn" it. It would be fundamentally anti-democratic for the Liberals - after their worst popular vote showing in history - to:
Offer up a surprise leader; Offer up a surprise coalition; and Have such a coalition backstopped by a party that wants to destroy the country.
- Furthermore, neither the Liberals nor the Bloc have any mandate to form a coalition as they explicitly campaigned against it:
- During the election the Liberals told voters they could not govern in coalition with the NDP because Layton "does not understand the economy".
- The Bloc also told voters during the campaign that they categorically rejected the possibility of forming a multi-party coalition to stop the Conservatives.
