A petition without merit.

The petition i pasted below is now circulating around to try to appeal to our Governor General to request that she NOT allow the coalition government to take power. I have no problem with that whatsoever!

The problem I have is the inclusion of the word "Democracy". The last time I checked, no gunmen barged in to hold parliament at gunpoint to force a new regime, no coup was held and the prime minister killed and no bloody uprising was started by the army and the top army brass declaring himself ruler. If any of that happened, by all means go ahead and cry about Democracy; but it did not. Instead, by the very rules that govern the House of Commons, the rest of the house has declared that they have lost faith in the current government and have banded together to remove that government from power. Now, why I do not necessarily believe in the coalition that was put together, I do believe in their right and the process to do exactly that. i do not pretend to know all that much about politics; frankly, I do not lie or hide my emotions well enough to be any kind of effective politician. What I do know is that I do live in a democratic society and I do know there are rules that I may not like, but as i chose to live here, I must follow.

What everyone signing this petition fails to acknowledge is that Mr. Harper himself, in 2005, wrote a similar letter asking about a similar process to perform a similar act when Paul martin's liberals were in power. So, it is do as I say and not as I as do? What is good for the goose is NOT good for the gander? It is hypocritical of Harper to be crying foul now when he was poised to make the same move back then. It simply works to make him even less in my eyes if that is at all possible. While i am railing on the PCs, it was disgraceful the blatant disrespect that Jim Flaherty showed within the House yesterday; he should be formally reprimanded!

The bottom line is by all means go right ahead and circulate the petition and sign it (I won't ever) and deliver it to the Governor General. Just stop the foolishness about "Democracy" because most if not all of you will be lucky to have never lived in a part of the world where there truly is no democracy; I would not wish that on the worst person (well, maybe the worst). Work to understand the process and then work the process. And if you don't like the process, work to change it. bitching and moaning will simply fall on all of our deaf ears.

Peace.

Petition to the Governor General:

If you are interested in protecting Democracy in Canada, please sign the internet petition being circulated. It is addressed to the Governor General. This will take only a couple of minutes to complete. Please take those few minutes and try to help stop the Liberal-Socialist-Separatist coalition's attempt to gain power without an election. Note that this Coalition gives the Separatists complete veto power over any decision – obviously not in the best interests of Canada. In order to gain Separatist support, the Liberal and NDP agreed to provide Quebec with billions of dollars – obviously not in the best interests of Canada. Also in order to gain Separatist support, the Liberal and NDP agreed to put six Separatists in the Senate of Canada – obviously not in the best interests of Canada.



The Petition

To Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada:
We, the undersigned, call on the Office of the Governor General of Canada to respectfully deny the request of the "Coalition" to form the next Government.
We strongly urge that Canadian voters be heard in this matter. A coalition propped up by a separatist party is not the government that Canadians want in Ottawa.

You can sign the petition at: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/no-coalition.html. Please take a couple of minutes to help preserve democracy in Canada. Thank you.

Please circulate this to your friends and family who would also be interested in protecting Canada.

Yours for a better Canada,
