Harper Should be Held Accountable for the Actions of his Caucus.

The immature and vulgar behavior of Pierre Pollivere is a complete reflection on the kind of government that Stephen Harper is running. Harper encouraged this type of behavior as Leader of the Opposition, because it distracted the Liberals during Question Period and made for good news bytes. The problem now is that he is now in power, and the situation has gotten worse, not better. The same Stephen Harper demanded the ministerial resignations of Joe Volpe and Dennis Coderre for declaring their admiration for John Kerry, and called for Carolyn Parish to resign as an M.P. for stomping on a doll of George W. Bush. It looks as though Harper is more concerned with such a behavior as it relates to our southern neighbor, but even worse behavior is permitted within our own borders, let alone our sacred halls of democracy. Why doesn't Harper show some class, and strip Pollivere of his Parliamentary Secretary position? It is truly sad that our democratic system has been reduced to this obscene nature. How we long for a Parliament that shows dignity and respect for the people who elected it.
