Time for a no-confidence vote!

The only problem is that a) I didn't have any confidence in this government to begin with, and b) it's not like anyone else in Parliament has the guts to stand up to the chimPrime Minister.

Today on CBC, there was a Conservative MP proposing that Canadians being (slowly) evacuated from Lebanon should foot the bill for their own rescue. Just like in the U.S. (Sorry for the link to WingNut Daily.) His claim was that the government can't afford it (bollocks) and that since most of these people hold dual citizenship, they should have asked the Lebanese government for help first (*blank stare*). Meanwhile, Harper is off to Cyprus to "help" with the evacuation efforts, taking up a valuable space on the plane. I hope some of the evacuees give him a stern talking-to. At the very least.

I honestly don't know where to start.

I'm sorry; if we had to have a mass evacuation of Snowbirds because of a hurricane in Florida, would anyone dare to have this discussion?
