Having long ago abandoned the pretence of being financially conservative, the Conservative Party has, in its promotion of Julian Fantino's political career, destroyed their credibility on law and order. Yet this is only the latest in a series of incidents that show that the Conservatives are not serious about protecting Canadians. Rather than offering an agenda that focuses on fighting violent criminals, they instead target petty fraudsters and perpetrators of victimless "crimes," while dismantling effective rehabilitation strategies. When faced with a challenged to Canada's archaic prostitution laws, the Prime Minister could only crack bad jokes.Of course Dear Julian isn't a perfect fit for everyone, especially for those who value the rule of law ... or perhaps another way of putting it is that some still expect their MPs to have that special quality the Romans called "Gravitas". It all goes counter to the thinking these days, though.
... "Gravitas ... who needs Gravitas?"
"The only thing that counts is that team blue wins".
Sometimes I wonder if for some, politics isn't just another fucking hockey game ... us against them ... with the stands full of mindless fans who hate the other team, hate the other fans, and go apoplectic over every call the referee makes against their team ... while demanding ever more calls against the other team. Like hockey, for these folks politics has nothing to do with concepts, ideas, or principles ... just putting the puck in the net more often than the other guy. For them, Julian F. is a score.
For some however, Julian F. is cause to consider "drastic action":
She didn’t pull any punches. She said non-natives need to stop “cowering at the altar of native self-determination.” The election of former OPP chief Julian Fantino – who she blames for abandoning the rule of law in Caledonia – to a federal seat in Vaughan “makes me want to slit my wrists,” she said.
