Liberal Party of Canada: Anatomy of A Failed Political Party

Mr. Michael Ignatieff refuses to address the Prime Minister of Canada as the Right Honourable Stephen Harper with the courtesy and traditions afforded by our Parliament. Peter Donolo has come out recently and requested we use "Mr." in addressing the appointed leader of the Liberal Party.  Until Liberal members of parliament return to their responsibilities, duties, public civil discourse, the use of "Mr." remains a closed matter.

Anyone willing to bet Michael Ignatieff shows more respect for political leaders of foreign countries by using proper names and titles?

The Blogging Tories should work cooperatively with other bloggers in demanding why the Liberal Party of Canada refuses to show up for work. Canadian taxpayers are paying their salaries, pensions and we need an explanation on this latest publicity stunt.

Many bloggers last night left the names of the twenty-nine Liberal MP who went missing, or refused to show up for the work when I issued my second  Amber Alert. Thank you for reminding us our democracy is under attack by the political games in Ottawa.

Michael Ignatieff  trotted out this familiar line on his cocktail circuit coast to coast to coast funded by the taxpayers.

"In June 2009, we set up a four tests, after fours years of Stephen Harper you failed all four, your time is up!" leader of Liberal Party.

 Help us to understand the anatomy of members of Parliament who refuse to show up but only criticize others.

Liberal Party of Canada: Obsolete

The Liberals spent thousands of taxpayers dollars to produce a photo op for the MSM decrying how democracy was in danger by delaying the return of Parliament for five weeks on January 25, 2010.

March 04, 2010 - Action: Restrict Liberal MP's in voting against the budget inside Parliament.

Accountability: Liberals at Work

Report Cards, Prohabaition, delays in Senate, in-camera committee meetings, failing to show up to vote against Government.

Jan 2009 Budget Liberals

Ignatieff called Tuesday's budget a "flawed" document because, among other things, it fails to extend EI eligibility, attaches strings to infrastructure dollars that may delay projects and jobs, and lacks a credible plan to get out of the deficit situation.-CTV

The duty of all political parties is to vote for or against the business being proposed in Parliament. Each MP has one vote to support, criticize the budget, action, inaction, challenge and offer alternatives to the budget, polices of our Government in Question Period.

March 2010 Liberals
“This is not a budget that looks ahead to the challenges of our times – and it’s not a budget we can support,” Mr. Ignatieff continued.  “We will vote against it, but we’re not going to cause an election. Since Canadians don’t want an election and it’s not in the national interest, we’ll register our opposition responsibly.” -LPOC

Why bother sending ANY Liberal MP's to represent Canadians when they REFUSE to act responsibly as the loyal opposition and hold the Government accountable in providing an alternative government?

Parliament exists not only to transact the business of state, but to provide a forum in which all legitimate points of view can be expressed. The government has a right and duty to govern. The opposition’s right and duty, if it believes the public interest is at stake, is to oppose the government’s policies and actions by every legitimate parliamentary means. In so doing, oppositions try to convince the electorate that they should change places with the government. Because of this continuous contest, parliamentary democracy is always a more or less trying affair, but politics, not mere administration, is what representative, alternative government is all about. -Gov't Website
