We're all clear on the fact that the only true 'attack' on democracy here is cutting the public funding of OUR parties.
I hate to explain to everyone exactly what the fuck democracy is, but Harper got elected on a Minority government. There is no, 'THE WHOLE COUNTRY VOTED FOR HARPER, THIS IS UNDEMOCRATIC'. there is NONE of that. The rest of the country voted for people that decided to get together and STOP Harper from creating his own special dictatorship.
I hate to be the one that says it, but cutting party funding in the middle of a global recession is a power grab. end of story.

Well, they cut the funding to their own party too and by the system, the conservatives stood to lose the most money. I think the conservatives stood to lose 10 million while the Liberals stood to lose $8m. But my numbers might be off, heard it on the news a couple weeks back.
