- While most Liberals are licking their chomps over the string of embarrassments falling down upon the Conservative Party, I am growing concerned that these entertaining diversions are distracting us from the menace that is Stephen Harper.
- The Bernier Affair may speak to poor judgement on Harper’s part and a shallow pool of talent from which to choose Ministers but doesn’t it really just point out how debased the Department of Foreign Affairs has become. Harper didn’t care about Bernier’s incompetence because Bernier had no real power.
- Meanwhile the Conservatives recently decided it was a good idea to revive the Cadman Affair, an issue that seemed to have lost the media’s interest. Why would they do this? Is it for the reasons being tossed about; that they are trying to pre-empt the use of the tape in a negative ad campaign during an election or is there a more Machiavelli reason?
- The revival of this issue allows the Conservatives to control the story and how it is debated. It also distracts us from the real and dangerous initiatives undertaken by Stephen Harper over the past 2 years.
- Let’s not forget that Harper is systematically trying to undermine the Charter of Rights by killing the Court Challenges Program, shutting down the Access to Information database and questioning the validity of decisions from the Supreme Court of Canada for the mere fact that they disagree.
- Bill C-10 is overt attempt by Harper to impose his own moral compass by censoring Canadian film and television.
- Bill C-50 once again demonstrates why Immigrants don’t generally like the Conservatives; because the Conservatives don’t like Immigrants.
- Harper hates arms length bodies because they prevent him from getting his sticky little fingers on the levers of control. When he campaigned on accountability, we didn’t know that he meant everything should be accountable to him.
- Harper promised us that we wouldn’t recognize Canada when he got through with it. His latest trick in the unravelling of the Canadian fabric is to distract us with the bumbling and fumbling of his incompetent caucus while he pulls at yet another thread.
