It's a noble effort by Lead Now, but unfortunately no one can force the Conservatives to do anything within our present political system. This is why our system needs a serious revamping...which we can't do until another party gains control of Parliament. If the Canadian population as a whole were getting more progressive, I'd say that there were many ways we'd be able to hold the Cons accountable, but sadly this country is getting more conservative by the day. Sometimes it feels like we're heading backwards a decade rather than forwards as far as social consciousness and progressiveness.

Ya, I know. I think the world as a whole is getting more conservative by the day. By design I imagine. But then I'm a bit paranoid. Doesn't mean it's not a plot to keep the money in the hands of the few. It's so easy to get people to look below them on the socio-economic ladder for the cause of their financial problems. It's really the direction they want to look anyway. Just in case they get a chance to climb up a few rungs they want to keep the status quo. They just don't get there isn't much room for climbing anymore.

Quebec is having a stroke over the crime bill. They are seriously stressed here. It's hilarious. Most countries look to the states to understand what NOT to do regarding a prison system. Unfortunately now Canada appears to be looking to emulate them.
