It isn't just Liberal rhetoric, although I guess hardcore Conservatives might see it that way.
From Coyne's article, these are some of the worrying points:
"But the long train of offences against democratic and parliamentary principle—from proroguing Parliament, twice, to evade Parliament’s reach; to withholding documents essential to parliamentary oversight, even in defiance of Parliament’s explicit demands; to intimidating parliamentary officers and politicizing the bureaucracy; to such breaches of trust as the Emerson and Fortier appointments, the taxation of income trusts, and the evisceration of their own law on fixed election dates—are simply unforgivable."
Here'e one person's worry:
"The stats canada fiasco, contempt of parliament, scrapping of the salt panel, elements of G8 planning and implementation - all very problematic."
The suspension of civil liberties during the G-20 in Toronto is another.
There are a lot of people in Canada legitimately concerned that Harper doesn't respect democracy. It isn't merely rhetoric as you try to dismiss it. Do you defend the CPC's actions that have many people worried?
