A major Parliamentary crisis is underway resulting from the most serious economic crisis since the Dirty Thirties. The country is being momentarily polarized around a liberal social democratic coalition and far right political reaction. A major struggle for Parliamentary democracy is underway.
The main danger at the moment is for the left democratic forces to miss the opportunity to defeat the autocratic Harper Government. It won’t be easy. Prime Minister Harper and his right wing supporters are in panic mode. This week leading up to December 8th and a non-confidence vote in the House of Commons, the Conservative Party will conduct an unprecedented media disinformation campaign reminiscent of the darkest days of McArthyism. Prime Minister Harper will resort to the most desperate measures to stay in power.
No progress in our country can be made while a minority Conservative government is in power. They have inflicted serious hardship on the people. They are the wrong party to have in power during an economic crisis. The time to discuss the problems that will arise with a coalition government is after Harper is ousted.
The Canadian Labour Congress, the Canadian Peace Alliance, the Council of Canadians and the coalition parties will conduct rallies on Thursday December 4th in support of the coalition accord signed today in Ottawa by the leaders of the Liberal Party, the New Democratic Party and the Bloc Quebecois.
Phone your local labour council to find out where the local rally will be held.
Left Turn Canada!
