I choked on my coffee this morning when I read this. Kept hoping it was a mistake or a satire piece. Nope. The spring election is shaping up to be a walk in the park for a Prime Minister and a government that does not deserve to be re-elected. This terrible op-ed is both a risky scheme and evidence for Harper to use that the opposition parties are hopelessly naive and cannot possibly learn to govern in time..... Leading right into the slogan: Better off With Harper. Do you need to make it this easy? There are three issues in this upcoming election: (1) Fixing the terrible mess we are in, (2) Opening a dialogue through strengthening our political institutions and developing a strong governing consensus, (3) Moving forward towards honest, transparent, sophisticated, respectful good government. Period. If the opposition cant agree on that there really is something unfixable, and their may be. To enter the conversation with a half-baked case for institutional reform, pointing out divisions in the opposition, and expecting the election to be a Marquess of Queensberry discussion about the correct form of representational government for Canada....... it demonstrates a disappointing immaturity of the Party some of us are counting on to be better than this. Thomas Mulcair needs to wake up, get fired up, and get in this game for real. Every riding that does not elect a Conservative is good news - period. There is no more risky scheme than continuing on the Harper path. That IS the only issue of the next election.
