Does Canada need an Election?
Is a Stephen Harper government the best Canadians can aspire to?
Specifically, are we satisfied with a government that preaches accountability and padlocks Parliament rather than face opposition questions? A government in which all power is concentrated in the Prime Minister’s Office?
A government that has no foreign policy beyond what it borrows from Washington? A government that can’t win a United Nations Security Council seat that would have been a slam-dunk in years past?
A government that secretly negotiates a border-security agreement that will involve some sacrifice of Canadian sovereignty without allowing Parliament to examine its provisions? A government that accepts Washington’s dictate to purchase F-35 strike fighter aircraft that Canada doesn’t need and, at $20 billion or more, can’t afford?
A government that intends to spend billions to build new prisons for which there is no evident demand? A government that believes attack ads are the answer to all criticism?
Are Canadians content for their country to be as mediocre as their government?
