YOU're lecturing, Stephen Harper? Really?

Isn't it ballsy for Stephen Harper and company to be lecturing the Governor-General on constitutional protocol, when last December he and his cohorts launched a coordinated misinformation campaign designed to cast as an illegal coup d'état what was actually a proposal perfectly in line with the convention and rules of our parliamentary democracy?

I might take his insistence for clarity on constitutional roles and responsibilities more seriously if he didn't continually undermine and dismiss the role of the judicial branch, for example.

Or the role of the Senate.

Or if he maybe recognized the distinction between the executive and the legislative.

And the role of parliament, particularly in minorities.

And if he didn't play-up, revel in, and even actively encourage the public's ignorance of the workings of our political system so he could exploit it for political advantage.

So yeah Steve, you're right, the GG isn't our head of state. Indeedly-do.

But you've already made all our social studies teachers cry anyways.
