Forty politically savvy youth ages 16 to 21 honed their debating prowess and public speaking skills this weekend as they simulated a Canadian parliamentary debate that focused on such topics as the nationalization of mass transportation and the reformation of the child-care system. [...] time youth parliamentarian Fabian Cayer, who sat as a backbencher during the mock debates, agrees.
Whether it's adequate is the question," [Alan Borovoy] said. "What protesters need to do is generate an atmosphere of political tension . . . create the most conspicuous event possible" and that may certainly get lost in a video transmission. "This highlights part of the problem with this process," she said. "There has been no public consultation, no parliamentary debate in any of our three countries. Now leaders are going to see opposition to the SPP (security and prosperity partnership) in a video feed? Who knows how meaningful it will be and how much we're able to communicate through a video feed.

[Ken Dryden] said a parliamentary debate was necessary to give voice to the mixed feelings most Canadians have about the need to support their troops as the death toll rises to 33, including one diplomat. "It's a conflict that is going on inside all of us," Dryden said yesterday. "It's fair. It's right. It's human. But we need to have expression of that. We need to have something else more to go on rather than the periodic military sloganeering and rhetoric that we hear. It is dogmatic. It is based on 'you're with me, or against me, the good against the bad.' And life's not like that," said [Gilles Duceppe]. "In foreign affairs, like in any other aspect of politics, things are not all black or all white. You have to be more sophisticated."
The main cheerleader for re-opening the debate is Conservative MP Rod Bruinooge, newly appointed chairman of the Parliamentary Pro-Life Caucus. Bruinooge went public in December with his plans for a "new era" of advocacy for the "rights of the unborn." He said: "I believe that having open debate on important topics like this is essential for any democratic movement. The word "debate" is being used as a cover for the desire to pass anti-abortion laws. The main purpose of the Parliamentary Pro-Life Caucus is to lobby for legal restrictions, a goal that clashes directly with every major party's policy on abortion. The Parliamentary Pro-Life Caucus has been around for about a dozen years. It's surely no coincidence that from 1996 to 2008, at least 15 anti-abortion bills and motions have be...
