Leadership (?) from the top?
Political Leadership in Canada = pandering to the squeaky wheel. There has to be a better system for electing and holding the elected monkeys accountable. Maybe our friends (most of us still think that way) to the south have the right idea...
A lot of folks slam the US system, but look at the advantages they have:
They elect the president - the Liberal (Band of Thieves) Party elects our PM (granted he must be an elected MP);
They can impeach - we wait for four years (except Ontario keeps on screwing this up...)
Their senators are elected. Ours play hockey or write books...and are nominated and appointed by those who have vowed to clean up patronage appointments and to address the democratic deficit...sure.
Their pres can only serve two terms,
Their public broadcaster earns its living - ours gets tons of money to rub our noses in our past by means of revisionist tripe contrived by liberal nut-cases...
If we (Ontario) elect PM and his gang again, I'm gonna claim refugee status at the border - think they will let me in with my trucks?
As for turning backs on the GG at the Ceremony - not the time or place in my mind, but we do live in a "free" society that welcomes self expression...there are worse displays of bad behaviour (just up the hill on Wellington Street).
Need a beer...
