Peter Worthington: “Maybe we should break up…”

In my blog entry just previous to this one, I pointed to a Washington Times commentary about how Canada may just smash itself to pieces thanks to the power-mongering and ineptitude of Canada’s socialists-in-chief, the Liberal/NDP cabal (there’s more members of the cabal—including but not limited to many within the Conservative Party). “Cabal” is a word I usually don’t use—I usually use “Fabian socialists”, which describes them perfectly.  Whatever the case, they’re all contributing to the cause. 

Peter Worthington of the good Toronto Sun newspaper talks the same talk at the end of his piece today. 

Now with polls showing Conservatives the party of tomorrow, and the sovereignists (separatists) of Quebec at an all-time high, the future of Confederation is at risk.

Maybe, just maybe, Canada is too big with too few people to run effectively as a country.

Maybe we should break up as Russia, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Ethiopia have, to mention a few?

Maybe that’s our future – if Martin and the Liberals survive.

But backing up just a little, Peter Worthington paints a picture not unlike those which I’ve painted around the subject of Paul (“we lead the world”) Martin.

Let’s cut to the chase. Paul Martin’s “deal” with Jack Layton was motivated by one thing—his fear of becoming a footnote to history like other short-lived PMs: Joe Clark, John Turner, Kim Campbell.

That boils down to desperation and ego—always a volatile combination that provokes odd behaviour.

Regardless of the spin Martin puts on the “deal” (conspiracy?) to delay an early election, it’s hard to see it other than a ploy to save his and his party’s hide.

[…] It’s such a transparent act of desperation, that many Liberal stalwarts are mortified.

Imagine, letting the NDP dictate aspects of the budget!

[…] He has so screwed up leading the country, so mishandled various scandals that keep surfacing, that Canada is paralyzed.

Yet he won’t call an election to clear the rot. A few months ago he was even leading cheers for Jean Chretien’s asinine performance with golf balls at the Gomery inquiry.

Pity it wasn’t a priority then, to stand for justice and decency.
