After announcing that he will not involve himself in the Federal election campaign, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall couldn't restrain himself and embarrassed the province with his idiotic statement on 'minority' governments. Mr. Wall has bought into Stephen Harper's concept that minority or majority, the party with the most seats gets to do whatever they want, Parliament be damned .. (excuse me Brad, Canada is STILL a Parliamentary DEMOCRACY):
"The party that wins the most seats on May 2 should be recognized as the government, period. If that were to be the Liberals, I would join with other Canadians in accepting this result and recognizing Mr. Ignatieff as our next Prime Minister. However, if the Conservatives win the most seats but come up short of a majority, I would expect Mr. Ignatieff and his party to accept that result … Ironically, this election was caused by a confidence vote over “contempt for Parliament.” I can think of no greater contempt for Parliament or for Canadian voters than the spectre of a party leader refusing to recognize the democratic outcome of the election."

Meanwhile, backbench Conservative Member of Parliament, Brad Trost has set off alarm bells in the War Room of the Conservative Party because he has exposed the deep rooted social conservative bent of the Harper administration:
"Let me tell you, and I cannot tell you specifically how we used it but those petitions were very, very useful and they were part of what we used to defund Planned Parenthood."
