Opinions, please.

I haven't been following politics as closely as I should have been lately. The only time I have is right before bed and the antics of the Cons led by Harper have a history of causing me sleepless nights due to sputtering about their stupidity.

However, I was nonplussed to find a link to this in my inbox this morning. I was unaware of any of these points. I'd like some confirmation from anyone who's been following the situation closer than I have, followed by the perennial question: what can we do about it?
