Contempt of Parliament and the Canadian People

PM Harper claims that this election is all about the economy. It’s not. The economic record speaks for itself. It was a Liberal government brought in surplus after surplus & managed the economy extremely well.
This election is about a government that is secretive, controlling & disingenuous, using the Politics of Fear in simplistic slogans like “Hug a thug” to garner votes. Most importantly is this government’s total contempt and disrespect of the basic tenants of our democratic processes. If they are willing to act this way in a minority position, what would happen with a majority?

Playing the politics of slogans and fear:


1) Contempt of Parliament - Despite what PM Harper says - Contempt of parliament is not something to be taken lightly, it is a serious threat to our democratic parliamentary system.

2) Harper government falls in historic Commons showdown

3) In Contempt of Parliament and the Harper Government

4) Prorogation redux: Harper in contempt of Parliament
