Funny how real human suffering can make those yipping about Parliament being prorogued look really small.
I have already stated that if MP Harper extends Micheal's term, I wouldn't be too upset. She is a very real person that many of us can and do connect with. Her heartfelt worry about the people of Haiti, was probably just as hard for us to watch as it was for her. She is a real trooper.
I am very impressed with our governments response to this disaster. DART was in the air and ready to help within hours. Ships were called back to port to load up with medicine and needed personnel. Money was made available for immediate aid. We have C-17's to cart helicopters and medical supplies to Haiti now, instead of having to hitch a ride with Russians or the US. This was one of the quickest responses I can remember from DART. Thanks to a very understanding Prime Minister and a hard working Cabinet, we are getting the job done for people in real need. By the way who was that idiotic reporter who asked Minister Cannon if this meant that Parliament needed to be recalled? I'm glad he didn't answer her. Who ever she was, she was out of line by making the disaster in Haiti a political issue.
If Parliament isn't working, how come the government was so quick to respond? Maybe people need to better understand the difference between Parliament and government.
This is a time that we need to work together. Haiti needs to be helped, then it can be cleaned up and rebuilt and that can happen with all nations working together.
By the way, CTV your "live" torch relay coverage was ridiculous. I got more black screens than actual video feeds of the runners. Sound was a maybe or maybe not proposition.


I did get this one:

Go Canada GO!! I want those Liberal mitts, they are such a smart statement. HA!
