Here’s what I am thinking…..

This Federal government – this one being the worst – has really angered the people.  And I think they may have blown their feet off.  We’ll see.

They have a recent political track record that makes even G. W. Bush’s governance look good and all I can see in the future is more of the same.  I won’t bore you with the litany of abuses but I am making a prediction – this government will have to resign before their term is up.

Yes, I know that they do all the bad stuff up front, go on vacation for two years and then then lie and promise for a year before the next election but this time seems worse.  All the opposition has to do is stay awake and I think they will topple this government. 

And they may get a little help from their friends.  Read on…………

But bear in mind that I have never called an election right.  My prophecies have never come true and I am wrong 95% of the time on most things so no one need worry about my view of things, least of all the cartel that I am focusing on.

Still, a man’s gotta do……..

And here’s why I am saying this: the First Nations along the Enbridge pipeline seem totally committed to the resistance.  Fully. Completely.  And this time, on this issue, I believe them.  I don’t think they’ll cave.  Not only are they 100% united on this issue but all their non-aboriginal neighbours are with them on it as well.  All the women, all the children, all the tourists and even the local politicians are speaking as one.  And that is just in the north.  They have a lot of support in the south, too.  I predict Harper will lose this battle.

Losing the tar sands pipeline won’t make his corporate buddies happy.

But dirty rotten scoundrels have prevailed before despite losing initiatives, or being caught red-handed with their hands in the cookie jar or having commited some major crimes.  A defeat of the pipeline will not be enough. 

Even though this government has a rap sheet longer than most felons, that is not likely to put the stake in their heart either.  We have come to expect wrong-doing these days from government.  No, I think it will be the election-skewing robo-call issue that does them in at the popular level.

Remember, even with the ‘cheating’ they only got 39% of the vote.  If the media (all forms) keep on the vote-rigging issue for another few weeks, it will have, as they say, ‘legs’ and those are the legs of lemmings.  The Tories are heading for a cliff.

Bear in mind that these are the same fools that put their sights on Old Age pensions.  They picked a fight with seniors for God’s sake!  It takes a lot to get a Canadian riled but ‘cheating them’ of money always seems to do it.  ‘Specially the old ones. I think that pension issue has turned all the boomers against them as well.  I’m certainly not happy about it.

On the east coast, they have also got the Newfies and the Maritimers on their case for the latest DFO capitulation to BIG business.  Frankly, I wouldn’t mess with a Maritimer over fish, myself.  I think they made a real big mistake on that one, too.

‘Course, DFO is like the bulls-eye on the government’s forehead.  We on the west coast hate ’em!  They are the Dumbest F-íng Organization on the planet and they seem to be getting stupider despite the competion from the Ministry of Transport. (Sorry.  That was just a bit of hyperbole.  They can’t possibly be getting stupider.  It just isn’t possible for DFO to get stupider than they already are.  Sorry.  Artistic license.)

“But, Dave, how does a government fall in the parliamentary system when they have the majority?”

It is hard.  The Governor-General can do it technically but that is highly unlikely.  It requires a member or several in the Conservative Party to vote with the opposition on a non-confidence vote.  But that requires integrity.  And that is not likely to happen unless some of the ‘cheeses’ in the cabinet get charged formally by the RCMP.  And that seems unlikely since the RCMP only seems to arrest/shoot/taser those who are helpless or are protesting these days.  So that may not happen…….

“So, how can it happen?”

Well, it seems kinda Disney-esque but the world is shifting and millions of voices can get heard now.  31,000 people yesterday alone registered their complaints with Elections Canada.  Northern BC is united electronically every day and all day.  The maritimers are blogging and tweeting, the sheep are restless and bleating and the noise is just getting louder and louder.  The times, they are a’changin’. 

We may have the opportunity to ‘make it happen’.

We’ll see.
