Yes, dear friends, a minority! The bigger question we Canadians should be asking is how this whole thing came to happen in the first place.

I think that most Canadians who stand for election have the good of their communities at heart, no matter what political party or point of view they represent. In my view all sides should tone down the rhetoric and start to build some bridges instead of blowing them up. If I could sum up my Christmas wish list it would look just a little bit like this: • No attack ads, in fact how about some nice chummy pictures of all members of Parliament working together? A fun snowball tournament with some snow in the face for some of the key plates perhaps? • No more talk about anyone destroying Parliament, play nice and we’ll get further ahead. • Get serious about the economy...a pat on the back for local MP Tony Clement, who was busy trying to work out a way to shore up our ailing auto industry during the past week. • Liberals, get a leader who can actually string two words together without bumbling, and do it fast if you ever expect to recover as a party. • And last but not least, that Canadians take some time to bone up on how our parliamentary system actually works!

Like many Canadians I have been riveted to the television and radio as the sad saga of parliamentary shenanigans unfolded over the past week.
I don’t think there’s anything new or different that I can add to the mountain of commentary except to say that what shocked me most was not what actually happened in Parliament, but the lack of understanding on the part of Canadians across the country.
I was stunned to hear ordinary Canadians taking their cue from the prime minister in denouncing the events as a coup d’etat, or an illegal act wantonly acting against the “will of the people.”
Who do these Canadians think sits in the opposition? Martians? Who d o t h e y t h i n k e l e c t e d t h e o p p o s i t i o n ? R u s s i a n s ? No dear friends, other Canadian c i t i z e n s e l e c t e d t h e s e individuals. Furthermore, enough members of the other parties were elected that their issues and concerns should have carried some weight with a governing party that is still a minority. Yes, dear friends, a minority!
The bigger question we Canadiansshould be asking is how this whole thing came to happen in the first place. Where was the so-called co-operation we were all hoping for? Where was the consultation and the respect? Where was the concern regarding the economic crisis facing our country?
Whether you hate the idea of a coalition or like the idea, it still boils down to the fact that our leaders let us down.

Christmas wish list for Parliament
Marliese Gause
Response to Residents can rescue stray animals article in Dec. 3 North Star.
To all politicians: After you tax the heck out of them, you want the citizens to now give whatever they have left to operate an animal shelter?
What are you doing with all the taxes?I’ve listened to the people. I read their pleas in the newspaper. There seems to be a lot of people voicing their concerns regarding a shelter and animal welfare.
There isn’t any reason why you local politicians cannot come up with a plan for a shelter with a budget with money coming from Parry Sound and all adjacent communities. Keep the OSPCA out of it – they would only deplete our funds. I am sure there are enough people with experience
that can get this up and running, if they only had the financial support. Organized properly, residents and local businesses would gladly help with fundraising. Why not give this a try? How much is being spent on the dog pound now? How much funding was Parry Sound giving to the OSPCA when they had a shelter here?
Add these two costs together and let’s see what funding we can start with. Why is the prevention of cruelty to animals not a concern? The ratepayers think it is.H ave o u r l o c a l p o l i t i c i a n s r e a l l y given this issue the time it deserves? Keep speaking up everyone. Eventually some honest politician will listen.
