I'm getting sick of people calling what's going on in Canada Undemocratic. I'm looking at you, Harper.
What Harper does not seem to realize is that in the Canadian Parliamentary system, we do not vote for him, or his Government. We vote for local MP's who then we send to parliament. The Governor General, who is our head of state (that's right Harper, not you) then asks a party leader to form a Government. Her job is to ensure that our parliament works. If the party in power loses confidence of the Parliament, it is then her duty to dissolve the acting Government and call upon another leader to form a new Government that will work.
This is not Undemocratic, it's simply how our system works. We elected a Parliament, and it's now her job to make sure a Government based off it works. If that means changing who is in charge, that's what she has to do. There is no coup here. The MP's that each Canadian elected are still going to be serving in the capacity they were elected for, that won't be changing.
It's sad, and a little pathetic, that the Conservatives are resorting to illegal recordings, propaganda (Radio ads? comon, and who's paying for those?), slander, and outright lies to try to cling to power in a government where most of the Parliament does not agree with them. And then they have the arrogance to call the opposition (which for the record, is every single political party in Canada except the Conservatives) Undemocratic.
What would be Undemocratic would be allowing a leader who has lost confidence of the Parliament to continue running the country. For a good interview about this, check out part 3 of todays 'The Current' (it's at the bottom).
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Mr. Harper.
Maybe after you have more time on your hands you should do a little reading on how the Canadian Parlimentary system works.
