It would be interesting if the Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament adopted "don't care? then show us the documents!" as a secondary slogan. Too bad the opposition parties are too dumb to do that (I'd love for them to prove me otherwise, I would, but boy have they sucked in their response, eh?)
DJN - I agree, the opposition leaders' responses have been lame to non-existent. But then again, the MSM's coverage of this has been lame to non-existent, so maybe the opposition leaders HAVE been responding, but the MSM is just not publishing the responses.
It seems Iggy has said he will do something along the lines of getting the Liberals working Jan 25th (when parliament was supposed to get back to work). I'm sure the other leaders will have similar responses soon.
I think Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament's membership will snowball (over 56,000 at this point and steadily growing) and help Canadians wake up and force this issue to the forefront. I would love to see this be the issue that eventually creates an actual coalition government.
It is a new electoral system proposed for Ontario. If you are voting in the upcoming Ontario Provincial Election on Oct 10, 2007, There will be a referendum question asking if you want to keep the current system or change to use MMP.
With the proposed MMP in Ontario, you will vote for a local candidate and a party - it's that simple.
Then, when the votes are all tallied, if a party has proportionally less seats than the percentage of the overall vote they received, they get additional general party seats known as List seats. So, in the end, the number of seats a party has in parliament, is directly proportional to the percentage of votes they received.
Example: If party A received 40% of the vote, then they get 40% of the seats.
