Is This Really Our Prime Minister Speaking?
It literally hurts to call this man our Prime Minister.
According to CTV news, this is how he speaks: "So I think there'd be a sure lot of anger if a bunch of unelected guys decided they could block what the elected people did and what their constituents want."
1. What national leader speaks like this? He sounds poorly educated and undignified.
2. Whatever one may think about the Senate, for the Prime Minister to talk about one of Canada's constitutionally created governing bodies in this way, is shocking.
3. The 'elected people' are the ones who appointed the Senators (who can forget Mr. Fortier for example?). The 'elected people' are elected to uphold the constitution, and therefore are bound to allow the Senate to do its job.
4. To say the constituents of the 'elected people' want this budget is incorrect; some consituents of some 'elected people' want this budget and the Senators are doing their best to be a voice for others.
I am ashamed that we as Canadians elected this man and that he is our face to the world.

Harper forgets his Con buddies in the Senate. ...and no, thank goodness, I know I did not vote for him!!!!
"Is This Really Our Prime Minister Speaking?"
Makes you proud, doesn't he.
I wonder if Harper would refer to US Sect'y of Defense Robert Gates or the Set'y of State Condi Rice as a bunch of unelected persons, and go about screaming of their illegitimate status all around the world. Somehow I don't think so. It's not the unelected that bothers Harper, it's the fact that they are Canadians, therefore second-rate in his mind.
Didn't you get the memo? Steve is an "ordinary guy". Now he's even talking like one!
