The Adventures of Faz and Arlene

The opposition passes a law

Not surprisingly, Stephen Harper and his party won't respect it. In fact, the conservatives may not realize that the basic principles of parliamentary democracy compel the government to respect laws adopted in Parliament. Faz and Arlene are amazed at Stephen Harper's ignorance and are offended by it.

In support of Faz and Arlene's position, Liberal MP Pablo Rodriguez , who introduced the bill adopted Wednesday said "The prime minister can't act like an emperor and decide he'll respect one law but not another one he doesn't like..." The MP finished his statement about the government's poor attitude with "...This is a democracy. Democracy has expressed itself."

Respect.

Editor's Note: Who does this guy think that he is? A law is a law - you just can't cherry pick the ones you like. What a jerk.
