An Aug. 10 letter from the six members “clearly signifies the intent of these six MLAs is to continue to function as an independent group deciding when and where they will be supportive of government’s agenda,” Higgs said.
“A government cannot function in this manner. On many topics, consensus is not always achieved, but democracy works because the majority of participants support the agenda.”
My hope is that people are waking up to the fact that our domestic christofascist extremists are following in the footsteps of the US MAGA crowd and will kick their extremist asses back into the shadows. Higgs clearly thinks he’s a dictator. It’s obvious now that Doug Ford talks a big game about working for the little guy but everything he does is a scheme to enrich his wealthy developer/donor friends. Heather Stefanson in Manitoba trying the, “Vote like an intolerant asshole while no one is watching.” gambit blew up in her fucking face. These right wing extremists are spending so much time virtue signaling while the people of their provinces can’t afford groceries. During tough economic times electing governments that cut taxes to enrich their friends, cut services that the rest of us rely on to get by, and neglecting education, healthcare, and infrastructure to “save money” are NOT what we need.
Alberta and BC have Recall acts on the books. Other than those two provinces you need a confidence vote called by the party in power and a majority to vote against it. Once we elect them, we’re stuck with them. That’s why I think that protest votes to remove a reasonable but irritating party and replace it with a christofascist party is not a good move. We’re stuck with them for years and they can do us a LOT of harm during that period.
