Multiple media outlets calling for Prime Minister Harper resignation!
Over the past week multiple publications have been calling for nothing short of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s resignation. Between the multiple failings that have plagued his term as Prime Minster, including but not limited to, The RoboCall Election Fraud[6], Prorogation of Parliament no less then 4 times[7] to avoid previous calls for his resignation, Violations of First Nations Treaties[8] and the sale and destruction of the Canadian Environment, Guaranteeing large portions of the Canadian Economy to China[9], Harming the Canadian workforce by mandating Temporary Foreign Workers be employed over fully capable, trained and often times already hired Canadian workers, Supporting Israel over Canada in burying a Canadian Forces report that concluded the “IDF acknowledged and then murdered Canadian Forces personnel” in light of ‘preventability’ (We’ve dug up Harper’s buried report for you here)[10], And of course the latest Senate Expense scandal involving exclusively the Prime Ministers own appointments to the Senate. This is but just a small list of the reasons why the NAAIJ as well, would like to also see Prime Minister Stephen Harper resign.
Here are some other journalists & politicians that would like to see Harper resign
Bruce Stewart, Columnist for Beacon News has the following to say:
“This isn’t about “beating on Harper means letting Duffy off the hook,” as one passionate Albertan put it to me yesterday. Both are oath-breakers. Both deserve their fates.
The problem with the motion being forced in the Senate to suspend Senators without pay isn’t that somehow the perpetrators of repeated expense account-driven pocket-lining will “get away with it” if it doesn’t happen. It’s that due process isn’t being followed. It’s that it’s being treated as a whipped vote on party lines.
Should Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau, (Mac Harb already resigned), and the others in that chamber we haven’t caught onto yet remain Senators? If they took their oaths seriously, they’d have resigned ages ago — in fact, they’d have never played expense games in the first place.
But they didn’t treat their oaths seriously. Neither has the Prime Minister.
Stephen Harper is responsible for the actions of his officials. That means that when people in his Prime Minister’s Office arrange for his political party to write a cheque (as, in the amount of some $13,000, was done for Senator Duffy) to hide the expense fiddles, Stephen Harper is responsible to the House for it. When Nigel Wright whipped out his chequebook (whether he was reimbursed from party funds or not, no one yet can say), Stephen Harper was responsible for that act. When the PMO has given talking points to the principals involved in this situation, Stephen Harper is responsible for that.
Responsibility is a Canadian invention: upholding our traditions and institutions in this case means more, even, than in any other Westminster-style Parliamentary system, because this is our contribution to democracy. It is that “the Minister is responsible to Parliament for the actions of his (or her) officials”.
When they act inappropriately, it”s a failure of management, with the responsible Minister of the Crown as the manager. The traditional response to that is to offer one’s resignation to the Prime Minister.
When it”s the Prime Minister, the resignation is offered to the country, by stepping down.”[1]
John Robson, writer for the Sun Media umbrella of publications, jumps on the sudden outbreak of common sense bandwagon as well with this:
