CandleInTheDark

Quite frankly I will never buy into any argument that a subsidy of political parties is needed. Coercing a person to support a political or moral cause is wrong, and that is exactly what the subsidy is. You can certainly kill subsidies to political parties and NOT increase the handouts they get elsewhere. Let them adapt. Let them argue to the votes to voluntarily submit their 1.95 to the party. The current subsidy, like all subsidies, is tantamount to stealing.

As for the prorouging of parliament, I don't particularly agree with it. I'd rather have had an election as the three stooges which likely to have lost a lot of seats in; or Harper should've handed the reigns to the "Coalition" which would have been just enough rope to hang themselves with.

On second thought, I expect the Coalition will implode between now and when parliament resumes so maybe it's for the better. Canadians will get a chance to see how well the three headed turkey walks
