Q: Why do we need a web page on Canadian Politics?
A: Because the Government propaganda is absolute and constant. It is the Liberal Party line all the way. It is a form of creeping dictatorship. There has to be an alternate source of information.
Q Why do we need an alternate source of information?
A: Because Parliament was only open for 92 days in 2000. Therefore for 9 months of the year the government operated in Ottawa in complete secrecy without anyone asking a question?
Q Why does Parliament not stay open longer?
A: Because the ruling Liberals want to hide what they have been up to and they do not want publicity. Prime Minister opens and closes Parliament when he feels like it. He is only required to open it once a year. We would never know about the missing billion dollars if it had not been for Parliament. There are other questions. Maybe you have some yourself.
Q: What about the Senate?
A: Canadian senators are appointed for life, until they are 75 or die, so they have no incentive in doing anything except staying alive. They are only a formality, a useless expensive formality that should be scrapped or changed to a triple E Senate.
Q: What is a triple E Senate?
A: A Senate where senators are elected, equally from each province and effective. Canadians need to elect 2 senators from each province in order to spread the political equality around the country. Alberta already elected a senator-in-waiting but Prime Minister Chretien, in order to punish Alberta and show some tough love, decided not to appoint him to the Senate.
Q: Why don't they change things in Ottawa?
A: There is no incentive to change things. They manipulate the media to the point where Canadians are told what to think. It is a question of power. A prime minister does not want to have his power reduced by having to deal with an activist Senate. He would rather have them sleep their years away quietly in the Senate.
