It is called accountability and parliamenty democracy.<br /><br />You have now retreated like most hypocrites on this matter.<br /><br />Where are your principles and morals don't you care about human rights abuses and the testimony of Colvin?<br /><br />Shoegate fieldnotes was the smoking gun and Colvin have been supported by another group of retired civil servants. <br /><br />No guts on your allegations, conviction?CanadianSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010880162544507668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-35198076382575810672009-12-13T11:58:50.385-05:002009-12-13T11:58:50.385-05:00"If the coalition does not act immediately wi..."If the coalition does not act immediately with their new evidence and remove confidence of this government they must be found complicit in the allegations of war crimes and torture cover up as well."<br /><br />Ha ha ha<br /><br />This is the new line from the con supporters. "If it is that bad then force an election!"<br /><br />It is the weakest of the weak arguments out there right now (and there are a lot of them). The opposition's role is to hold the government accountable. In this case, that means digging to find the truth. <br /><br />The reason con supporters are demanding an election is because they know an election will prevent the truth from coming out. They prefer it when the media is focused on the opposition, because when it is focused on Harper things do not look so good.<br /><br />It would be irresponsible in the extreme for the opposition to demand an election every time they disagree with the government. That irresponsibility would be increased here, when we do not even have the full story, thanks to the government's desperate attempt to cover it up.<br /><br />Anyway, why would anyone take someone who refers to the torture allegations as "shoegate" seriously? CS seems to actually think if he trivializes the allegations people will agree with him.<br /><br />Don't argue with him - just feel sorry for him.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112657859825911939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-38843146756819027232009-12-13T11:58:41.106-05:002009-12-13T11:58:41.106-05:00KNB - the government line on this is to simply pre...KNB - the government line on this is to simply pretend it never happened, and even if it did it is not important (hence con supporters throwing terms like "shoegate" around).<br /><br />They obviously believe that if they get up in the House and lie, over and over and over again, this is going to go away.<br /><br />They may be right, but I do not think the media are going to allow this one to go away.<br /><br />In any event, ever the good soldier, Hillier is touting the party line: This stuff is trivial and beneath his attention.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112657859825911939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-33766761351114321492009-12-13T02:44:42.029-05:002009-12-13T02:44:42.029-05:00Oh yes...typical RoformaCon trick....see that shin...Oh yes...typical RoformaCon trick....see that shiny thing over there?

Is that any different then when Dion, Layton and Duceppe did that? if you say yes, your brain is denser then I originally thought. If I were you and the Cons, I would give up on this coalition bit because there is evidence on record for anyone <br />to read that tells Canadians that<br />Harper did it first. Dispute that fact if you can. And prove it while you are in denial.<br /> BTW, CS,you said Did you miss the coalition, they have the smoking gun. Obviously you missed it. Denial just doesn't cut it.
