If you the dictator in Harper Land you can do what you want I guess. If you knew when you were a kid you had a bad report card you always took your time before you get home to avoid the whipping.

BCRacer… actually it’s the third time he’s pulled this stunt. He first did it in 2008 to avoid a non-confidence vote, and again in 2009 to halt the Afghan detainee hearings and to kill some pieces of legislation.

Harper has sat in parliament a total of five days in the past five months! Can I have a job like that?

I can’t think of a time since he became Prime Minister that he has sat down with Canadian media and faced some tough questions with the expectation that he will answer them. It is almost like he is above answering and explaining to Canadians much less the legislature….

I would like to see him explain his vision of ‘enlightened sovereignty’ as it relates to the global constitution for multinational corporations that is being negotiated by his government through the Pacific partnership, Chinese FIPA, and the EU free trade deals… specifically the rise of these foreign tribunals that would have powers greater than our own Supreme Court of Canada when it comes to determining the law for corporations doing business in Canada.

We as citizens are governed by our Canadian constitution under the Supreme Court of Canada. It seems to me that we are seeing a parallel legal structure being erected that will have a firewall from the Supreme Court of Canada, and will have no accountability to Canadian democratic process much less elected governments as it pertains to multinational corporations. This is to say enlightened sovereignty is actually no less then civil servitude to a higher legal authority that is designed by and for the ruling multinational conglomerations.

If we truly are a democracy, then why are they allowed to negotiate this in secret, and why doesn’t Harper ever have to answer questions as to what he is negotiating that is in reality a theft of our national sovereignty?
