toronto sun and canadian democracy

today's toronto sun headline screams: no! no! no! this must not be allowed to happen. [those who studied media are excused for thinking that this is a headline from a newspaper in chilean dictatorship years, and the newspaper is el mercurio] toronto sun should stuff it. this is exactly what is allowed to happen in canadian democracy, where majority of canadians have elected people who can and should use their position to bring change when needed, including a re-structure of governance. goodbye to mister harper, whose arrogance and weak1 intellect is the cause of unnecessary turmoil. to quote david mamet [bambi vs godzilla]
the unfortunate and inevitable concomitant of "bring it on" is "how do you like it now?"

1an intellect which has ideology as its primary source of nourishment is weak by definition.
