Get Educated

My mom works for the Legal Resource Centre and they recently put out some new infromation on their websites about the Coalition Government idea and about the Prorogation of Parliament.
I thought that I'd post them on here because it seems like too many people (especially too many people in Alberta aka. the Alberta separatists) are saying things about this even though they don't know much about it.
Here's some FAQs about the 2 topics: http://www.law-faqs.org/wiki/index.php/Coal
Here is a special article explaining about what has been happening in Canadian politics lately: http://www.acjnet.org/nanews/default.aspx?id=22893

Also, there is the Amnesty International Write-a-thon tomorrow! This is where people from all over the world write letters to important people in different countries asking them to be fair to their people. I encourage everyone reading this to please write a few letters.

What Does All This Mean?

I’m back on the topic of the coalition government idea here in Canada. Before all this happened, I had no idea what a coalition government was. But now I’ve researched it, at least a little bit. So now I’ll just tell you what I think about this idea.

I think that a coalition government would be a good idea. It would allow all the parties to express their ideas and opinions and bring forward their ideas the loudest.

Also, if there was a coalition government with the Liberal, NDP and Bloc Quebecois parties, my MP, Linda Duncan would definitely play a big role in it because she is the only non-Conservative MP in Alberta.

Also, this coalition government idea has been proven to work! Germany has had many coalition governments over the years. The FDP (a German political party) had a coalition government with the Germany Green Party from 1998 to 2005. And at different times, the CDU/CSU (another German political party) had a coalition with the SPD (yet another German political party) and the CDU had a coalition with the FDP.

So, I don’t really have that much information about this topic, but I have enough to voice some starting opinions. I will write more about this as the coalition government idea progresses.
