The Wryno Party

Angry in T.O wrote about how the Right Honourable Paul Martin, P.C., M.P., Prime Minister of Canada, is changing the way Canada is governed. As Mr. Angry points out, the rules concerning confidence motions are not written down, they are based on tradition and precedence. Mr. Angry goes on to say that the Liberals may have broken our system of government. And the problem with that is .... ?

You see, Mr. Angry, we live in a new world, a world where we need to examine old beliefs against the current trends, and select only those beliefs that will serve our best interests. In the past, things like "tradition" and "precedence" were trends. Today, we focus on "rights" and "security". Today, we realize that Canadians have a right to fully-subsidized 24/7 daycare, a right to allow the Gomery Inquiry to finish even if there is no clear requirement for a report, a right to know where the evil guns are. We need the security of knowing someone more qualified than us is raising our children while we work, the security of knowing that the Gomery Inquiry won't be interrupted by an election that wasn't guaranteeing a Liberal majority, the security of knowing that our civil liberties take a back seat to the more important matters of allowing the government to ruin the lives of anyone who threatens our way of life.

Mr. Angry, you seem like a reasonable man. I'm sure that with some education and meaningful dialogue, you will find your place in the Liberal party.

The Liberals. We forgive. We count on Canadians to forget.
