ChuckerCanuck 2.0

Our friends in Abstainistan, under the cyber-leadership of uber-blogger, Jason Cherniak, have gone.... hmm... madder than a hatter with a forty year history of handling mercury.

Apparently, we no longer live in a democracy. Why? Because the House of Commons voted on something and the result wasn't unanimous. Uh-huh. The only way for us to be in a democracy was for last night's vote on the silly Bloc resolution about Elections Canada to be unanimous. Without Dissent. By that standard, the only democracies on planet Earth are - hmmm, Cuba, North Korea, Bhurma, Belarus.... And even in those countries, fake legislatures are given limited freedoms to vote against the non-binding, silly stuff.

Of course, one way to prove we still live in a democracy would be to have our friends in Abstainistan put - on just one simple issue - their money where their mouth is. (Our money, actually). That would go a long way to restore their faith in this insta-tyranny.

Maybe they should cry, "we would vote this government down, but we don't live in a democracy anymore."

Maybe, if they feel democracy has been ripped from them, they should take to the streets and defend their rights. Publishing a blog post doesn't seem to be an adequate reaction to having fundamental freedoms stolen from you.

Anyway, let's remember these mad hatters from Abstainistan are the masters of political strategy. Obviously, they have pulled apart polling results, like Rutherford did the atom, to uncover a treasure trove of secrets to formulate this winning strategy of perpetual hysteria. A mad hatter could be just crazy like a fox. I'll take my chances. Please keep it up.
