Conservative Rabble
Yes, the Canadian Conservative movement has its’ very own only ‘rabble’ and its just as unpalatable as the more infamous leftist variety. And I quote Dodo Can Spell (but not much else).
I feel that if one is not a voter, they should just simply shut up.
You are free to feel whatever you want but whether one chooses to vote or not to vote is an elemental exercise in freedom of conscience which makes it just one of many hallmarks of living in a free society and in no should be arbitrary used to stifle or suppress dissent. The stifling or suppressing of dissenting opinions are benchmarks of totalitarian society.
But Dodo isn’t done yet.
Those of us who consider that voting is our privilege first, and a right second, feel that the PM has done what needed to be done.
You could not be more wrong if you worked at it full time 24/7. This sentiment shows the most marginal comprehension of how parliamentary democracy actually works and the most appalling level of ignorance of Canadian political history.
Voting is the charter right of every single Canadian citizen who has reached the age of majority as well as a responsibility of citizenship but in no way shape or form is it our ‘privilege’. Canadians have died for and fought for the right. This is not a ‘privilege’ granted from ‘on high’. My grandmothers protested and fought for the ‘right’ to vote in Canada and it did get downright ugly.
But as hard to believe; it gets even more embarrassing:
The bickering in Parliament, even over the passing of the most logical bills, simply because the opposition parties want to prove they are the “opposition” are seen by many as bullying tactics. Delays and more delays because of the bully politics does not make for a good governance of the people.
Let me leave the rabble with the words of a younger Stephen Harper to ponder so the rabble can twist tie itself up into knots trying to justify and reconcile how far he has moved from this principled position.
“When a government starts trying to cancel dissent or avoid dissent is frankly when it’s rapidly losing its moral authority to govern.” ( Canadian Press, April 18, 2005)
