Harper's dual messaging is even more egregious than Mulroney's, given the Reform core, which used the "easterner" angle to flourish.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-56132756439051931702007-04-03T20:12:00.000-04:002007-04-03T20:12:00.000-04:00It seems Harper is doing Mulroney's strategy all o...It seems Harper is doing Mulroney's strategy all over again, say one thing in French and another in English. This worked well initially as Mulroney won two back to back majorities, but in the end this alliance hurt the party more than helped after the party got destroyed being reduced to only 2 seats, so even if this helps Harper in the short-run, it will eventually backfire. The question is when, not if.Monkey Loves to Fighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122291567543761919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-77667568783234919022007-04-02T18:52:00.000-04:002007-04-02T18:52:00.000-04:00It's a pretty pathetic ad imo.Harper indeed is try...It's a pretty pathetic ad imo.<BR/><BR/>Harper indeed is trying to divide Canadians. Just think of that for a minute. We have Prime Minister who is more concerned with pitting citizen against citizen, province against province, and "winning" a majority, than he is about the welfare of this country.<BR/><BR/><I>This election may come down to one simple question, can Quebecers be bought?</I> <BR/><BR/>I don't believe they can and I think Harper has made a mistake here. The province of course won't refuse the money, but I think Harper is underestimating the intelligence and political savvy of Quebec voters. <BR/><BR/>There will be some of course who will buy the ploy, but this continuous bashing of a native son, is a bad idea I think. Think about the message control required here. How many con's have criticised Dion for being French, being another Leader from Quebec, etc. If we were in an election, don't you think MP's in other parts of Canada are going to use those lines?<BR/><BR/>I guess what I'm saying is, you can't keep building a house of cards and expect it to stand, when your engineers are blowing a lot of hot air in the house's direction.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-25688534517302963062007-04-02T16:12:00.000-04:002007-04-02T16:12:00.000-04:00"Narrowism" is born!"Narrowism" is born!Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-43289278285258542512007-04-02T16:00:00.000-04:002007-04-02T16:00:00.000-04:00I've said it before on this blog; Harper is engine...I've said it before on this blog; Harper is engineering a coatlion of Canada-hating Albertan and Quebec separatists (a tiny minority of the Canadian population) to destroy this country.<BR/><BR/>When I was young, these two groups were like red ants and black ants...they couldn't <I>stand</I> each other.
