A POLITICAL RANT AS BRIEF AS THE GOV'T WANTS TO WORK

So our duly elected federal gov't officials have decided to take a couple of months off, not during a recognized scheduled break With legislation pending, including a budget, and an investigation into the treatment of Afghan prisoners.

The gov't's response to these issues? Take a break and hope they go away.

Now this is a minority gov't at the federal level. So what do our three (only three, sorry Green Party, you barely qualify as comedy relief) opposition parties decide to do .. filibuster? Lock the House of Commons doors? Garner support of their constituents by contacting them and informing us who in the sitting gov't we should contact? Gosh no. What we get are TV attack ads. Like, This is so stinking wrong, I'll just whine about it! How Canadian.

Of course our elected representatives are fully aware of their responsibilities to us, they recognize the fact that are indeed our employees, that they only have their jobs at our written (or check mark on a ballot) bequest. And since I don't recall being asked if I approved of this suspension, there is only one way our fair gov't will do ...

While they stop working for us, they'll suspend their own pay ......

Won't they?
