Vic Toews: Screw Parliament!

I was pretty shocked to read something like this from the Conservatives Do you remember when the Conservatives made a huge stink about the fact that Martin bypassed Parliament and said no to the Missile Defence and that they would never ever do something that he did.

What we have here is another broken promise. It doesn't matter if they don't do it in the end, the fact Mr. Toews thought of it, is purely sickening as well. What is it with this government? I actually had high expectations for them (I'm serious, I really did), I thought they would actually be above this kind of shit after they tore the Liberals a new one over Ethics and Corruption.

The Tories have proven to me that they believe that they think they are above the law and that like John Reynolds said "Campaigns are Campaigns."

Let's just take a look at what the Tories campaigned against.

Members of Parliament becoming Lobbyists: John Reynolds is already registering to become a lobbyist, I guess the rules don't apply to him.

Cronyism: They appointed Michael Fortier, the Tory Campaign Co-Chair as a little thank you for winning the election, Promise Broken.

Floor-Crossing: While they didn't say much about this in the election, they none the less made a huge brou-ha-ha over Belinda Stronach, only to see them do the same thing and bring over David Emerson.

Cracking Down on Criminals: Please explain to me what a convicted Criminal like Vic Toews is doing in Cabinet? For that matter, Why is he in a position that deals with locking up Criminals none the less?

Senate Reform: It doesn't matter if the Harper promised Senate Reform, for years he crowed about how undemocratic the Liberals were, and in his first day in Office he appoints a Senator. Let's just forget Fortier's Conditions, the fact Harper even did it is just another Broken Promise all together.

Regarding the Gun Registry, I do think it is a waste of Money, but Mr. Toews has no right to bypass parliament and eliminate this when it was created by a vote on parliament. So for him to do it is sickening. Is this what they will do if they can't get approval on their completely flawed Child-Care Plan? I shudder to even think such things.
