Bob Rae may be one voice lost in the noise, but he is listened to more than other "one voices" because he was Premier of Ontario.<br /><br />Harper is currently in control, but the key word is currently. No one party or man stays in control forever, and then what happens when the opposition attains power and uses the same tactic against the former governing party? We Canadians lose, that's what.<br /><br />I know it's all about being non-partisan (oh please, as if such a thing exists in our party system) but Harper is the visible face of what has been an increasingly undemocratic system of government.<br /><br />We want to be democratic in more than name again, we'll have to do more than tinker and focus on one issue only. We have to look at the entire system, including the party structure and be willing to reform it.talk talk talk / Shireenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453931641034885060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12218227.post-26189023432610469962010-01-27T10:52:35.455-05:002010-01-27T10:52:35.455-05:00Harper wins the vote.

Harper is the piano man. Now of course, Harper is also the idiot :P but that does not mean I'm going to side with the anti-Harper on this non-partisan issue.
