You're Not So Strong


"It's up to New Democrats and the Bloc Quebecois to see that the minority Conservative government survives its first throne speech, says Opposition leader Bill Graham", the interm Liberal leader paid Harper a visit to remind him, that he's not as strong and mighty as he thinks he is... if political leaders Stephan Harper wouldn't be the roaring lion that he thinks himself to be, but rather a scruffy looking ally cat.

"Harper's Tories captured 36% of the popular vote, and 123 seats" during the last election - only 36%, if this had been highschool student president elections, he would be the nerd with the pocket protector whining about how none of the kids like him; needless to say the Conservative government is still walking on egg shells, one wrong move, and the popular vote may drop a bit more, perhaps to 34.587% - though I'm not fortune teller - I'm just a conservatively-pessimestic university student.... which a smidgin of personal opinion thrown in for good measure (perhaps some sarcaism and wit as well).

"Today, the Conservative government is adamant it will pursue only five specific governing priorities: a GST cut; a child care credit for parents; new accountability legislation for parliament; a patient wait times guarantee; and tough new criminal sanctions." they had to drop the sixth priority, which was very "hush hush" - having those fab-5 queer men giving Harper a major fashion makeover - thus there will be no "Harper Edition" on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"....

I find is most entertaining that despite all of the hoopla (yes, I just said hoopla) with the Conservative government that they're still out to put in that "accountability legislation", especially since Harper got off scott-free from the the Emerson defection - can you say "hypocrit"? Because I can... hypocrit, hypocrit, HYPOCRIT! If you've read my previous posts, you won't be surprised to see that I still hold that grudge. We all know how well women can hold grudges for long periods of time - and I am a woman... so I will hold my grudge.

"A Harper spokeswoman said Tuesday there is no set timetable for further meetings between the leaders concerning the throne speech before April 4, but did not rule them out" Yea, there aren't going to be any little "meetings" nor interviews with the press - has anyone else noticed that Harper has yet to speak with a reporter out in the open? Sending post-it notes and throughly edited press releases to the media don't count - is our prime minister camera shy? Afraid that we won't like what he has to say? Or is it simply a fear of the camera adding ten-pounds?
