The Conservatives are Actively Blocking Democracy

Stephen Harper's Conservatives have reached a new despicable low. After months of accusing the opposition of stalling the democratic process in the house (which is their job, to criticise the ruling party's policies), a playbook is released to the media outlining the Conservative strategy in how to essentially stifle democratic debate.

NDP MP Libby Davies was quoted saying that this was proof that the Conservatives "have had a plan all along and not just any plan, a 200-page playbook on how to frustrate, obstruct and shut down the democratic process" and Bloc Quebecois MP Monique Guay accused the Conservatives of "flagrant lack of respect" for the democratic process.

Only in Canada would the release of evidence this damning not be enough to humiliate a party in an immediate election. Someone, please prove me wrong. This is fucking criminal.
