The Bully Become the Bullied

The bully has now become the bullied. Stephen Harper and Jim Flahertyâ€™s unprovoked and cynical attempt to use the economic situation as an excuse to beat up on labour rights, democracy and the other political parties, has created the wherewithal for the opposition parties to work together. The three elected opposition parties know that they need not worry about causing another unwanted election -- the Governor General has the option of handing the reigns of Government over to a coalition of the opposition parties, as Lord Byng did in 1926. Given that Canadians are in no mood for yet another election, and that we went to the polls less than two months ago, it is difficult to see how Michaelle Jean could not give the opposition the chance to govern. Harperâ€™s arrogance has become the curiosity that hangs the cat (cue to a sigh of relief among the 60 plus per cent of voters that cast their ballot for somebody other than the Conservatives).

About the Green Party of Manitoba:

The Green Party of Manitoba was officially established in 1998. The aim of the Green Party is to educate the public and government about the fallacy in believing that the "environment" is a separate issue from the other issues that Manitobans are concerned about. A truly sustainable society requires a fundamental acknowledgement of all the social, economic and ecological factors that are involved when implementing government policy and evaluating its outcomes.
