RALLY FOR CANADA website

The RALLY FOR CANADA website http://www.rallyforcanada.ca/ offers you the opportunity of supporting the present government.

There is a discussion board on which you can share your opinion as well as on the Digest.

Not having figured out as yet how to access it I'll share with you my views expressed in a Letter to the Editor.

Dear Editor,

Calling upon "democracy-loving Canadians" to rally against changing to a government that "would be at the mercy of those committed to destroying Canada" and applying the terms "overthrow the government" and  "seize power", to an action Stephen Harper sought to negotiate when Leader of the Opposition, are both incendiary and the height of hypocrisy.

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" or, rather, false patriotism.

"Rally for Canada" http://www.rallyforcanada.ca/ is such a refuge being sought by supporters of the Harper Government.  An attempt to stir patriotism against a coalition of political parties holding a majority of seats in the House of Commons and, through such, being enabled by Parliamentary custom to recommend the Prime Minister of Canada to the Governor General.

The action of seeking to launch rallies against legitimate change among a people already shaken by a world wide economic crisis that places them in fear of their livelihoods can be described as nothing else than the last refuge of scoundrels seeking to maintain power at any cost.

Yours truly,

Joe Hueglin

p.s. Just in as this was written a supportive document from Stephen Harper's former employers who are, apparently, ignorant of the working of the Parliamentary system came in.

An Open Letter to the Citizens of Canada
Use Your Voice.   Stand Up For Democracy

This letter is an appeal to all Canadian citizens to share your concerns and fight for democracy.

In the recent federal election, Canadians voted for a minority government.  You did not vote for an opposition coalition that has given veto power to a party determined to tear apart this country.

This is an unprecedented power grab, and we believe its wrong.

Voting Matters!

The confidence of the people is far more important than the confidence of Parliament.

Contact the Governor General today and let her know it is her responsibility to protect democracy and ensure the citizens of Canada that their voice does matter.

This coalition government is undemocratic and unaccountable - Don�t let them take away your voice!

Contact Michelle Jean today and demand that this decision be put in the hands of the Canadian electorate.

The above text is an example of an ad we will be running in the National Post on Friday, December 5, 2008.  With you support we can continue to run similar ads in publications across the country.
