Bolsheviks

The New Government of Canada? Who do they think they are?

...sorry, stupid question. Obviously, they think they're the New Government of Canada. But last I saw, there've been no Constitutional Ammendments, no changes to Parliament or the Governor General's office. So no, Harper et al. inherited the same mantle as every political party since John A. Macdonald (his poor liver aside, a truly great Tory), the Government of Canada.

It's a trifle, I admit. But it's stupid, and it's wrong. Part of the legitimacy of democratic governance comes from continuity, not disruption.
