It cuts to the heart of our fundamental values as Canadians. And it raises many unsettling questions.
Stephen Harper told reporters outside the Governor General’s yesterday that the contempt motion that brought down his government was just another vote in Parliament.
Just another vote in Parliament. Can you believe it?
What happened Friday was not just another vote in Parliament.
Just the same way the House of Commons is not just another room. And the ballot you will fill out on May 2nd is not just another piece of paper.
These things matter. They are at the core of Liberal values.
Stephen Harper doesn’t make the rules. Canadians do. Period.
That’s why, just 24 hours in, I’m asking for your help.
Our democracy is at a crossroads. And now is when your donations can do the most to preserve it.
Together, we can make sure the Liberal Party can go toe-to-toe with the Conservatives all the way to election day.
On the airwaves. On the streets. On the doorstep and at the dinner table.
Wherever the Conservative message is heard, the Liberal message will be heard louder.
Wherever Conservative smears are repeated, Liberal truths will cut through the deceit.
And wherever a Canadian is standing on guard for our democracy, a Liberal candidate will stand behind them, ready to serve their cause in Ottawa.
It’s like Bob Dylan sang: “You’ve gotta serve somebody.” Let’s show Stephen Harper what that means.
