Emerson: No Ethics Without Laws

David Emerson says he would support legislation to force party-hopping
MPs to run in a by-election. However, without such a law in place, he's
not willing to face voters in the Vancouver-Kingsway riding. He
apparently does not see a need to run again. I would like to provide him
with a few. First, he completely lied and deceived his way to election.
By this I'm not talking about broken promises like promising money to
parents, promising a higher level of integrity in government, making our
votes matter. Not small lies like that. He actually campaigned promising
his constituents that he would help reign in a scary Conservative
government. He asked his constituents to vote for him to ensure that
those Conservatives did not receive a majority. Not enough reason? Well,
many of those constituents (I will try to get the exact number for all
of you as soon as possible, although I hear it is a majority of them)
have signed a petition DEMANDING a by-election, as is their democratic
right. Hmm, democracy still not a good enough reason? How about this. He
said himself that he would support legislation that would have meant a
by-election for him. So he himself believes what he did was wrong. Three
very good reasons for him to step down right there.

WHERE IS HARPER?

But since we all know that Mr. Emerson has absolutely no concept of
honesty, democracy, or ethics, ine has to wonder where Harper is in all
this. In fact, where is the rest of the Conservative Party? The begged
and moaned and pleaded for us Canadians to elect them, and get rid of
the dirty, lying, corrupt Liberals. They begged us to bring integrity
back into Canadian government. I guess maybe we should have listened
closer. Either the entire party is corrupt, egotistical, and dishonest,
or they were hoping Canada would vote for someone else. So which is it
Mr. Harper? Are you just hoping that all Canadians will keep you in,
like they did the Liberals, because you're already there? Are we all
supposed to forget the lies, the deceit, the backstabbing? What of
elevating the government? What of the Liberals not being morally and
ethically entitled to run our nation?
