Piecemeal Motions – What a concept!!

You know. The fact that the Liberal and NDP analysts and strategists are all complaining about the Harper plan to introduce crime legislation a motion at a time just proves that the lefties aren’t worried about anything but slamming the current government.

When the proposals are put up on their own, to stand or fall on a straightforward vote, it puts too much power in the hands of the people. After all, what would the public do if they saw the Liberals vote no on the issue to raise the legal age of consent from 12 14 to 16? I’ll tell you what … they would flip their wigs.

With the press watching every move the new government makes, how could any party oppose legislation that makes it impossible for a 45 or 50 year old pervert to convince a 13 14 year old BOY to have sex with him? As it stands right now, this would not garner anything but disgust from our law enforcement agents because the law doesn’t have any teeth to stop it. How sad is that? We keep them from driving until they are 16 and keep them from drinking until they are 18, but we’ll let them get buggered at 12 14. Talk about Officially Screwed. Let the games … and motions … begin.

In any case, I think Stephen Harper is making enemies in Parliament but friends in the populace with this move. It will be transparently clear where parties stand after the series of motions and there will only be two possible outcomes.

1. The motions don’t pass and Canadians will be surprised by the results, or
2. The motions will pass because the slate of MP’s make good decisions on what is right and what is wrong.

In either case the Tories should come out ahead because they look good passing motions or the other parties look bad for stopping good anti crime legislation meant to protect the honest, hardworking Canadians and their families.
