Long Live the...

It must be wonderful to be Stephen Harper. Just as soon as he claimed that even if parliament had voted against his plan for Afghanistan he would still have done exactly as he wanted, he said he would not be bound by the result of the upcoming vote on the Kyoto Accord. Is this not the wet dream of any power-obsessed politician? Parliament and democracy are just formality without power or influence on the wishes of the great leader! There is an upside to this, I guess. Since he is in effect claiming absolute power, maybe we should make it formal and crown him king. That way we can simplify government by eliminating the office of the Lieutenant General, which Mr. Harper hates anyway. And we can be finally free for the House of Windsor. Pierre Trudeau repatriated our constitution, Harper can one up this hated figure by repatriating our sovereign. Let’s all rejoice, the golden age of the Canadian Empire will soon be upon us. None of us will have anything to worry about anymore in Harperland.
