« Wireless Fusion Power | Standing Desk » 04-28-11 (in response to the Globe and Mail's decision to endorse the Conservative Party in the 2011 election) Dear Globe and Mail, Let me tell you what else is an important in this election: democracy. Canadians take it for granted. They can't be bothered to watch the debate. They can't be bothered to be informed about the issues. They often don't even bother to vote. They don't need you to tell them how to vote, they need you to help them decide how to vote. There's a not so subtle distinction there, and you blew it. And while Canadians take that democracy for granted, people in places like Libya are fighting, and indeed, dying for that right. That's why when the Conservatives LIE to parliament, Canadians should care about that. How can the Globe and Mail, an organization that is supposedly dedicated to the pursuit of truth, endorse a party that was held in contempt of parliament?

The last thing Harper needs is a majority so he can ram through legislation he likes and a majority won't want. He doesn't even consult with his own party. They toe his line.
