		<description>I kind of agree.  The government is really allowing a perception to be built that they are dragging their feet on the HRC file.

On the other hand, maybe they know that as the Levant, Steyn and now the Lemire file are going to bring so many ridiculous details to the public that they will be able to accomplish what is needed - the truncation of the HRC's power.

I think they learned their lesson from the SOW file, that while it is a completely porkbelly arm that does not deserve government funding, the way they went about cutting it made bad PR, and they had to reinstate it.  Had they built public ill will before and gotten everyone onside before they cut, then it would have been done.</description>

		<description>Hey there PissedOff,

"So how come Harper is doing nothing about the kangaroo courts and not cutting back on funding to the Communist BC?"

Kangaroo Courts are front and center on the get tough on crime bill as a start...the problem is too many years of Liberal appointed Judges and a Senior Silly Servant infrastructure that is corupt with internal power, supported and propped up for the last 35+ years by an outdated, Liberal dominated Senate.  This is the same liberal senate that approved 35,000 long term prisoners the right to vote prior to Martin's Minority Gov't.... afterall, if you're a liberal you have to ensure your entitlement to vote if you go to prison for your crimes for more then 2 years.

As for the second part of that, Harper went from a BC 35 seat sweep when Stockwell Day ran the Alliance to losing seats the last general election.  BC should be 100% blue in the next general election call if they run based on comparing records of Harper's Gov't vs former successive Liberal Gov't's.  That's politics baby...  He is working to improve relations in BC just as he is in every other province.

The problem with our election system and general system of rule is the big 3 city's now control the country... in black and white terms if you own Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver; manage to split the vote elsewhere, and buy the maritimes, you win with a majority...</description>

		<description>"Parliament wouldn’t change that much as the Conservatives pretty much has a majority as it is right now." 
So how come Harper is doing nothing about the kangaroo courts and not cutting back on funding to the Communist BC?
This HRC thing could be his Achiles heel when it comes to getting a majority.</description>
