Oh Canada.....*.....
OK! So we've got a rugby scrum charging at, and wanting to bring down Stephen Harper in a humbling rumble.
I have no problem with that. Personally, I hope the microphones get in close so we can hear the crunching of broken bones.
What I do have a problem with is the crummy team doing the charging and scrumming.
So let's hypothetically say, Stephen Harper isn't able to suspend-and-or-dance-his-way-out-of-a-delay-by-immaturely-calling-a-
great-big-time-out, and let's just say the Governor General, who was always, up until now, purely a per functionary car hood ornament actually grants the scrum to take place.....and let's just say the potential coalition Gov't form, & win their vote-of-no confidence and take him down....assuming all that gets lined up in the crosshairs....
WTF?
Sadly. They are all the same politickers we've always had playing Pollyanna politics. No one is up for the job in this current economic global crises climate. Which is particularly clear in Canada when our adolescent-elects start doing that punch-each-other-in-the-back-seat-of-the-car-thing-that-is-Canada
...not bothering that no one is driving the thing that is Canada...and we're about to careen over a cliff, only this isn't as cathartically symbolic as that Thelma and Louise car careening scene.
So fast forward this twilight zone compendium of in incapabilities scenario to solutions.....
What's say, we alllllllllll agree, c'mon now, EVERYBODY, just hop on a plane (or just this one freakin' band wagon in your life), now's your chance, I say, if this infantile power struggle takes place, and we end up with Dion / Rae / Layton & Duceppe ((shudder))...I say we ALL - head in droves to Pearson Int'l Airport, from every corner of this once upon a time ( pre 1400's in my eyes ) great land of ours....and, let's all arrive at Pearson in our very own Thai-inspired anti-government "co-abolishing-political-cleanse' from our system.
THAT would trump the unprecedented. What's say WE wrest control of our country and write history together.
Especially given how unutterably Canadian we all are. Which has always been accept-and-complain tactics.
How 'bout we show some strength?
I think we, as a nation could take advantage of the upcoming busy flying holiday season down at Pearson Int'l Airport and just sit in to show our determination to have a capable, functioning Government at a time we kinda need one..we could oust each of our existing nonsensical, incapable governing 'leaders" if we stopped whining and did something.
Admittedly not something citizens want to do....but when you're stuck with these juvenile sandbox kiddies, c'mon man....some disciplinary action demands to be taken. WE are equally responsible....or else these little horrors actually grow old because (a) they were allowed to and (b) they forgot what the hell their post, position, duties and responsibilities were originally all about at one point (see waaay back in some history book for an example of a real leader, as none pops to mind as I type).
I think this is a great opportunity to step up and be as peaceful (however painfully-annoying) as the Thai population were in ousting their corrupt government. It works! ...not that we'll ever know that first hand.
In lieu of that, I say bring Casey our of retirement - that squeaky voiced, blonde little hand puppet from Mr. Dressup and stick him the seat of power (and Finnigan can be our new GG) until we find someone better. Casey may be our best Prime Minister we've ever had.
(or was Casey buried with Mr. Dressup? ...cremated you say?!?!)
AUGH!
See you at Pearson this holiday season people!
