If there was ever a time to save Canada from the destructive direction of the Harper Conservatives, it is now. If there was ever a time for the Liberal and New Democratic parties to merge, it is now. If there was ever a time for the right decisions, it is now.
And when you consider that the 2015 federal election will be fought on the grounds of two distinctly different visions of Canada, now is the time to gather forces and make the win decisive. If the Liberal and New Democrat visions of the family are similar and in definite contrast to the ‘June Cleaver’ vision of the Conservatives, why should the two left of centre parties try to destroy each other?
Of course if you are a Conservative supporter, you might not like it. And some Liberal and New Democrat supporters might have to be allowed to grumble for a while. There is just no reason why the Liberals and the New Democrats cannot work together for the greater good.
There can be no greater calling for us than to put an end to where Mr. Harper is taking our country. After all what has Mr. Harper brought Canadians other than the disrespect of most of the United Nations? He has tried to lock us into a tar sands economy that offers nothing but more global warming. He has reduced the federal government to nothing more than a tax collector and ATM dispenser. He goes to war at any excuse. You know you are a minority in this country when he panders for your vote. He is a lackey of Britain’s royals for no reason. He and his hairdresser fly around the world making more enemies for our country.
But the Conservative defeat is so simple. All it takes is the opportunity for Canadians to cast one vote to be rid of the Conservatives. It just takes a vote for Canada’s new Liberal Democrats. The new party could have a June wedding and a summer to get its act together before the October election. And is there any question about who would win?
Canadians have shown for years that they are not in favour of the Stephen Harper brand of Reform Party extreme conservatism. They have never given a majority of support to his party. They have never seemed particularly keen on his lack of honesty, fairness, conciliation, truth or trustfulness.
In contrast, a New Democrat infusion into the Liberal Democratic Party of Canada would ensure Canadians of a more balanced left of centre party that would pay attention to all Canadians, respecting their rights, building their confidence and offering a fair and progressive government for all.
