Moral Turpitude of the Highest Order - Parts 1 and 2

Part 1 -

What's worse than breaking the Rule of Law and then using your state powers to cover it up? Using people dedicated to breaking up your country to continue the coverup. Introducing the new Liberal-Bloc Coalition (not as seen on TV or advertised as such in our last election campaign). The Bloc just helped the Liberals block even "studying" the SNC matter any further. And you can be darn sure that the Bloc mob will use their perfect blackmail position (as if Quebec's position in Confederation in that regard was not already "perfect" enough) to halt any further action on Bill 21, to halter any projects that add even one iota to our carbon emissions UNLESS it benefits Quebec and to extort whatever other pork they deem fit. Every time these Liberal moral defectives sermonize to us about anything, they should be reminded just who they take their orders from: crooked companies like SNC and racist separatist thugs like the Bloc. 

Part 2 - (With no apologies to Edmund Burke)

And then the scene of legal, political, fiscal and moral vandalism takes us to...well, Ottawa again. Wherein the City of Ottawa's Council approved a multi billion dollar project, the so-called "Phase 2" of the LRT, last year without key documents that would have shown that the bid approved was grossly inadequate. The Mayor was the only councillor to know the truth and still voted for it. We are told then that the rest of the Council then "had" to vote for it. Well, apparently words of command and imperative like that are not even available when dealing with people coming into this country who were exposed to COVID-19, so there was no "had to" about it. 

Indeed, three councillors out of the 23 voted against because they "had" the quaint feeling that, because they were denied access to these key documents by the City's staff, they would not be doing their own due diligence before voting at all. The other 20 voted for it despite being kept in the dark. The Mayor voted for it one can only surmise for his own greater glory. The Corporation of the City of Ottawa should be renamed the "Bureaucracy of Ottawa" where the democratically appointed agents of the People of Ottawa are not even given the same powers as the Queen in its administration.

What does any of this have to do with Burke? Back in Law School, we were taught his Address to the Electors of Bristol in which the politician and philosopher extolled the virtues of MP Independence. It seemed laudable enough an idea, even at at time when almost no one in Bristol was allowed to vote and Burke, operating in the 1700's, would never have been bothered with his electors from day to day and probably spent little time there as he was too busy being, well, Edmund Burke. We all want our MP's to think independently from time to time, in our best interests, and even vote against our interests if they feel it is in the National interest.

But we all know that's not what's happening now. At best, this moral has been used by scoundrels, who can hardly ignore or be "away" from their constituents in some splendid isolation in this day and age of the Tweet and the Like, to commit all sorts of political and electoral fraud. As for "thinking", one can hardly use that term now to describe the meanderings of most of our MPP's, MP's or Municipal agents. They are, for the most part, glorified pension clerks and trained seals who do as their Leader tells them or, as the Sainted Jack Layton once put it, "Messenger Boys".

It's clear that, in both of the Ottawa cases cited above, the "message" from the Leader was, "Shut the @#$% up and vote for my favourite project!" In the case of the Mayor, that was his LRT Legend Embiggening project. In the case of the PM, it was...the PM, of course. For, the Bloc could not have Bloc'd the SNC study without the help of his Liberal Digits. The question is, where does this leave Responsible Government? The answer is, in a very bad place indeed. For there is no evidence (except that evinced by the three councillors who voted against) that any major party or politician cares about this, unless it is of political benefit to them.

 Where are the Press in all this - defenders of our liberties and turn-er out-er of our governments? The stories are there, God knows. But the follow up and pick up is absent. One is tempted to feel that it would be different if the culprits in these stories were conservatives, but, I am not convinced. Until our political system is reformed from top to bottom, we will be hostage to the character of our governors and thus, too often, suffer under the despotism of Civil Service tyranny and its accomplice corrupt, craven and ignorant politicians.

THERE ARE NOW 96 DAYS LEFT FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA TO DISALLOW BILL 21
