Since the Harper robo government has been very successful in dominating the process, why is the Opposition so incompetent as to be obsessed with Content?
Without effective process, the content cannot be addressed. Imagine you want to dump Toronto’s garbage into the headwaters of the Ottawa River valley. You know this is a bad, dangerous idea leading to major damage to health and environment. But the proponents of this bad idea have control of the process. The opponents agree to be gagged; they agree to a “scoped”, i.e. extremely limited approval process. Until they take back the process they must lose the battle, because the content cannot be reached. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Opposition, you have surrendered the process to those who want to dominate for Commercial Interests only. Take back the process or lose this struggle. When Kelly Leitch gets onto Power and Politics as she frequently does, she is sent there to control the process. At some point when she does not like the opponent comments enough, she raises the volume, yells non stop over all other voices and so drowns out content with process. Even Evan the host appears helpless to stop her and no on has yet challenged Evan or Leitch on this blatent abuse of process. And what about the Process of Omnibus Budget Bills? When will that be debated and banned?
