Harper tries to take credit for Canada's, stand in the recession. Well, they all know, it was another P.M. who saved our Canadian bacon. We can thank our lucky stars for that.<br /><br />There are angry Canadians all across this country. There is still the robo-call cheat election fraud. Harper is trying to quash the investigation. Harper has more than a few lawsuits against him. <br /><br />There is the snooping of our internet. Harper and his ministers, have called Canadians some really insulting names. <br /><br />There is Harper selling Canada out to Communist China. China owns huge chunks of the tar sands. They are bringing over hordes of Chinese to work the tar sands, right down to Chinease cooks. communist China is bringing swarms over, to build the Enbridge pipeline. <br /><br />China has hacked into other country's secret files. Seems it was a mistake for country's to buy their electronic components from Communist China. The U.S. has infected components in their missiles and other weapons. Damn right other country's have had it with Harper. Over 2/3 and counting, Canadians want Harper gone. Harper has caused so much anger, he is literally despised. Who's going to forget the, dirty tactics and the dirty politics? The opposition and the people? That I doubt.<br /><br />No wonder, the U.N. Security Council refused Harper a seat.Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942564753572958672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-22645090373650537702012-06-18T16:35:23.867-04:002012-06-18T16:35:23.867-04:00Yeah, Steve, I have to agree with you that Harper ...Yeah, Steve, I have to agree with you that Harper will cut taxes even further during his election year. And then how does a divided opposition compete with that. <br /><br />Once upon a time, most babyboomers fought for social programs and a more fair society. Now, those very same boomers want tax cuts and don't seem to care that services are cut. In fact, for the most part, they welcome them with gusto. <br /><br />Not to mention, they're very much in a "stick it to your fellow man" kinda mood. Hence, reason why the Cons do so well. <br /><br />Another thing, I don't trust polls anymore since the Alberta election. Actually all pollsters got the last federal election wrong too. Leger Marketing has never EVER gotten it right. I'm surprised they're still in business, quite frankly, but then when you're covered by Quebecor...<br /><br />My gut tells me these numbers are going to change soon enough. The very fact that Harper's war room came up with attack ads against Bob Rae, an interim leader of a <br />3rd party not even a year after the election is telling. It's even more telling that Harper s war room hasn't come up with Mulcair attack ads. Sure there were a few cheap shots in scrums, but nothing more.<br /><br />The numbers are likely to change (assuming one believes in pollsters that is...) only when there will be a new permanent leader for the Liberals. And then, that will all depend who that will be. <br /><br />Either way, even if Justin Trudeau runs and wins leadership, I expect there to be much vote splitting between Liberals and NDP, particularly in those newly redrawn ridings designed to give Cons an advantage. Hence, a merger or some kind of cooperation must happen, or else Harper will win the next election. <br /><br />Most Canadians are still asleep at the wheel. Not enough outrage. Not nearly. I've resigned myself into thinking that a totalitarian regime is what most Canadians relish, particularly if they never ever have to see a polling station again. <br /><br />Short of a merger or cooperation, I don't see this ending well.CKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762523064802036223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-47400581153332513072012-06-18T15:34:30.357-04:002012-06-18T15:34:30.357-04:00The Cons plan to do all the dirty work in the firs...The Cons plan to do all the dirty work in the first year, then tax cuts tax cuts in the election year.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.com
