madmax Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Lyrics for the current session of parliment...... Bang the drum.... I found this fitting. Bang The Drum All Day I don’t want to work I want to bang on the drum all day I don’t want to play I just want to bang on the drum all day Ever since I was a tiny boy I don’t want no candy I don’t need no toy I took a stick and an old coffee can I bang on that thing ’til I got Blisters on my hand because When I get older they think I’m a fool The teacher told me I should stay after school She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands But my licks was so hot I made the teacher wanna dance And that’s why Listen to this Every day when I get home from work I feel so frustrated The boss is a jerk And I get my sticks and go out to the shed And I pound on that drum like it was the boss’s head Because I can bang that drum Hey, you wanna take a bang at it? I can do this all day Edited December 9, 2008 by madmax Quote
cybercoma Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Someone needs to be working... they're going to have a budget to present when they reconvene. Quote
Fortunata Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Someone needs to be working... they're going to have a budget to present when they reconvene. They had an economic update to present too but that didn't stop them from stirring the pot when instead they should have been adding the necessary ingredients. Harper likes games; it's what he's good at. Governing .... meh ... not so much. Quote

Harper likes games; it's what he's good at. Governing .... meh ... not so much. What makes you think they should add the "necessary ingredients", when those ingredients are an uncompromising view of a solution based on leftist ideology? The socialists in parliament are holding the government hostage until their demands are met. Rather than playing games, Harper is trying to get everyone to take a deep breath and work together. But that will never happen as long as the Liberal Party is in bed with the NDP, a member of Socialist International, and the Bloc, whose stated objective is Quebec sovereignty. Both of those parties have a history of holding parliament hostage for their demands. That the Liberal Party would get into bed with that shows how ineffectual their current leadership is. Quote

Look, they spent almost ONE BILLION dollars on consultants, for which the services performed are undeclared. But in the update they wanted to cut a comparatively paltry $27 million to exterminate opposition, make sure that women couldn't takes steps to get equal pay and for the public service union couldn't strike (were they going to?). These were games. All games. Instead of putting the the country's needs first they put their own partisan needs first. What did Harper think - he could never get a majority without eliminating his opposition? This is the biggest indicator that Harper is there for Harper and nothing else. Quote
Smallc Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 What makes you think they should add the "necessary ingredients" Because the government has to keep the confidence of the house, not the other way around. Quote

Taking a fun thread and getting serious... Looking for appropriate songs, lyrics and song titles. Meanwhile, I got a good one for the other thread. Quote
madmax Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Posted December 9, 2008 Ok not a song.... but it is funny. http://www.ctvbc.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/C...ishColumbiaHome Comedian Jon Stewart tackled our crisis in Ottawa head-on Monday in a segment entitled "Provinces In Peril: Indecision Oh-Eh?" The host of the "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" appeared incredulous that ordinarily-low-key Canadians had stumbled upon what he called the greatest challenge to the country since our "controversial decision to re-shape bacon." Stewart, known for cutting to the heart of political issues through biting satire, couldn't believe a coalition of opposition politicians tried to topple Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "Force him from office? You can do that?," he asked, in an obvious reference to U.S. President George Bush. "Because we've had no confidence in our guy for quite some time now. And he's taking forever to leave." Stewart seemed bewildered by the crisis, considering some of Harper's poll numbers. "I mean, this guy -- his approval rating is 46 per cent and they're trying to kick him out. You know what we call a 46 per cent approval rating down here? President Clinton," he exclaimed. Yes We CAN ARE the butt of jokes Stewart went on to explain Canada's parliamentary system to his American audience by bringing in his faux "foreign" correspondents from Britain and India. They mocked Harper for "running to mommy" by asking Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean, the Queen's representative, to prorogue parliament. Quote
Sir Bandelot Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Sure, here's a good one for the CPC- Canada, awaken from your bad dream! Give foreigners in your land no room! Let white blood never leave this soil, While we fight for contracts and oil! Liberal hypocrits, throw them out! Socialists, from Canada depart! Francophones driven to the sea, United and happy shall we be! We are fighters, true Canadians What Dion said, never made no sense! Spend the surplus, and damn the charter! Salute our leader Stephen Harper! Quote
