A very good line. It suggests there is something wrong with the Parliamentary majority being the government.
Basically the Conservatives want an American structure to the federal government (indeed the Post has called for a Republic). The American system is fine -- it has endured for 200 plus years and just recently showed its vitality. But the American system is not our system.
Here power 'is earned' by gaining the confidence of the House. And that's what Stephen Harper has not gained. He may survive a while more, but by mean spirited games instead of government he has lost the support of the House. Support he had after the election.
By the way, Dofasco just announced its Hamilton workforce was cut back to 4 days a week. Oshawa is looking at disaster. Even Alberta is suffering from a drop in the price of oil.
Maybe we should (all Parties, Liberal, Conservative, NDP and Bloc) focus on government for a bit?

Embrace the dark side. Now that democracy has been set aside we can truly change Canada. Thank you Stephen Harper.
Perhaps the Post is even ready for a, "Canadian Revolution", armed conflict and all. Then aftewards we can all sit down and become... American.
this is too freakin' depressing.
totally depressing - the Conservative ads are playing constantly :( .. and sadly, will probably sway more people. I bet that when Harper was in kindergarten (if, indeed, he was ever a child) he received an "F" in the category "Plays well with others".
