I didn't read the Report in its entirety. I downloaded the pdf when it became available, read 3 pages of recommendations and the conclusion. I didn't post it explicitly in my first post, but the bottom line, to me, was to call out NATO allies, get a chopper and some UAVs, set actions on a better course and make sure they stay on track. Peacekeepers and rebuilders, etc.
Beyond the basic 'we need to get help and stick it out in Afghanistan', I simply disagree with your political beliefs. I won't be quoting it for truth, as it is opinion on political theory.
As much as a minority should comprise, they are still the largest single power. I think the problem lies with the smallest parties (in many cases, the NDP) who represent a relativity small proportion of Canadians, having more than proportional influence. A minority government should not be held hostage and impotent.
Non-conservatives have called every potential confidence vote as a ploy for an election for the last two years. I'll reiterate the simple idea that this wouldn't be an issue if it was believed that they would loose the next election.
I agree that there should be more clarity and transparency. In no small part, there isn't enough due to the tenuous nature of a having a minority. That said, anti-harper leftist rants detract from a reasonable discussion. Tangents on the criminal system included.
Like it or not, the Conservatives have made good on campaign promises.
I agree. This is about more than what government is in power. This is about the government in power taking the recommendations of a non-partisan report and not allowing it to be watered down.
