An open letter to the 3 Stooges

I’ve sent these sentiments to Stephen Dion - DionS@parl.gc.ca and Jack Layton - Layton.J@parl.gc.ca - long may they be inundated with email.

Your plans have no precedence. They have no honour. It is an affront to the will of the Canadian people as voted on in the last election. To add any legitimacy to this madness, an election must be called immediately to be held in 3 weeks. This “coalition of current losers” should run as one party. This will save you money and be an honest representation of what you’re trying to do.

I have many more ideas I’m sharing at my blog - http://streams.revtrev.com The entire culture in Ottawa must be radically and irreversibly altered, or else the damage you’ve already done to the unity of this country will never be undone.

If you insist this is the right thing for Canada, and not simply a power grab from someone with a lust for power, then an election must give you the mandate.

We need a Culture of Honour in Ottawa. It must run through the elected officials and the bureaucracy. We need to get rid of the oxymoronic concept of a “Loyal Opposition” as well as the face-to-face “two-sword-lengths-apart” house set up. This isn’t going to be done by the ones on the scene today. It doesn’t help that I’ve just agreed with the label “the three stooges”. I can’t just point fingers. I need to be the change I want to see.

But it’s really hard to believe the line that “this is for the good of the country”. It is simply a power grab by those who couldn’t convince the electorate of their views on Oct 14th. It’s a coup, that must be stopped… can it be stopped in an honourable way?

I guess I’m glad I’m not an MP right now.
