Detainee review terms blasted by Liberals

Good news. Now will they do something about it, and enforce the Order of Parliament, for which we, the LPC, were the movers, after all, and about which our leader at the time gave an excellent speech? Do we mean what we say? Lee? Lee?! Are we a meaningful, worthwhile, potent political force, or are we a very very bad joke? Give the wrong answer and suffer the consequences. And that goes for all parties, esp. those that might want to scuttle affairs by playing political games, as some did on Afghanistan. We all of us, genuine democrats, must hold our membership & caucuses together. If we are serious, we must not just pressure our own parties and others, we must also require our parties to play fair, not cheat, and not make it impossible for a coordinated opposition to work. If one believes, as I do, in My Democracy Before My Party, then one must be exigent AND understanding. There must be a contempt motion, if Cons do not suddenly reverse course, or Iaco does not act coherently and simply declare that this is above his pay grade and the files must be turned over to the House as ordered, as is established law. The point of the motion is not simply to condemn the Govt, it is more essentially to commence process of order Sergeant At Arms to fetch the docs, as he did with Schreiber as a witness. So everyone who is serious must act seriously, and not make it impossible for others to support them. This is no time for gamesmanship. So far, so good, mostly. Onwards.
