Conservative MPs, you are a disgrace

Disgusting, despicable, detestable: none of those words adequately captures what Conservative MPs did this week. 

Forget about the fact that the anthem needed to be changed. Forget about the fact that their former leader, Stephen Harper, proposed changing the words in his 2010 Throne Speech. Forget about all that. 

To do what they did to Mauril Belanger, who is dying, is just…sick. It is beyond words. 

They will profoundly regret this. 

Conservative MPs have thwarted a bid to ensure that dying Liberal MP Mauril Belanger gets to realize his dream of a gender-neutral national anthem. 

 Fellow Liberals, with the help of New Democrats, tried two procedural manoeuvres Friday to expedite passage of Belanger’s private member’s bill, which would change the second line of O Canada from, “true patriot love, in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command.” 

But Tory MPs blocked both.


Highly-scientific poll: reaction to stuff Justin Trudeau did

For the Liberal Prime Minister, it was quite a week. It was like there were two Justin Trudeaus – one, a serious Prime Ministerial leader type, and one who was entirely the opposite.

He does both, almost simultaneously, and he pulls it off.  Or does he?  Vote now, vote often! And add your comments, too, below.
