IT is amazing to me that a country like Canada can have the likes of stephen harper as it's head of government. He is the opposite of the best qualities Canada has been known for and admired for around the world, not just South of their border. Government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic
freedom, education (among the world's most educated
countries- ranking first worldwide in the number of adults having
tertiary education with 51% of adults having attained at least an
undergraduate college or university degree). These are the qualities of Canada the people are proud of and that have made Canada's democracy admired, and made Canada a major destination of emigres worldwide. I hope the Canadian electorate doesn't follow the American model and votes in a new government that is new in name only. I hope and pray Canadians are smarter to fall for that.

According to the Ottawa rumour mill Stephen Harper is now so obsessed with Justin Trudeau, that none of his faithful flunkies dare mention Justin's name in his presence.
Lest he fall to his knees and start biting the carpet, or THEM.
And for more evidence of that all you have to do is look at the speech he delivered today at of all places the Canadian Heritage War Museum
Because it's crazy stuff.
In a speech at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton on Thursday night, Harper took aim at several of Trudeau's past statements, from terrorism to China.
He noted neither the Liberals nor the New Democrats have supported his government's law and order reforms. Harper accused the opposition parties of believing criminals are victims of society.
Even though there are so many Cons on trial it's hard to keep up with action. Even though his government's crime bills have been rejected one after the other because they are so badly written or unconstitutional.
And when you have to rely on this routine to rile up the rednecks:
Harper also alluded to opposition criticism of his government's handling of foreign policy, referring to a comment Trudeau once made about admiring China and asked how many Canadians want to live there. "My point is that Justin Trudeau didn't really want to answer that question because the answer is too obvious," Harper said. "The best country and the best government in the world is Canada's!"
After selling us out to China...
You're either desperate or crazy or BOTH.
And since he followed that up by criticizing the RCMP for enforcing what's left of our gun laws.
Harper also reached out to gun owners, apparently alluding to a recent decision by the RCMP to ban a previously legal rifle, the Swiss Arms Classic Green carbine. Harper said it's completely unacceptable that owners of the weapons should be subject to an "arbitrary stroke of a bureaucrat's pen."
You really have to wonder whether he is still fit to remain in office.
Because not only is he sounding more deluded AND dangerous.
He STILL doesn't seem to understand that Trudeau is so popular because Canadians hate HIM so much.
And that because he's been around so long most Canadians by now can't stand the sight of him.
For you know the situation really is critical when even some of Margaret Wentes's friends are deserting him.
Something alarming happened over the summer – several of my friends came down with Harper Derangement Syndrome. “He’s gotta go!” fumed one middle-aged man who had voted for him three times in a row.
So, do they think Justin Trudeau (or Thomas Mulcair) would run the country any better? They shrugged. The question didn’t interest them. What does interest them is getting rid of Mr. Harper.
When nothing Harper says or does makes him more popular than Justin.
The Tories have blasted Mr. Trudeau for lacking substance, but the country doesn’t care. The pundits have blasted him for being vague about his policies, but people don’t care about that either. As Brian Mulroney aptly observed, Mr. Trudeau’s major platform is that he’s not Stephen Harper. For now, that’s enough.
And even our very own Marie Antoinette thinks his situation is hopeless.
The best thing Mr. Harper could do to improve his re-election prospects would be to undergo a radical personality transplant. Unfortunately, that is still beyond the means of science. He is who he is, and he can’t help it.
And as I pointed out the other night, she isn't the only one eh?
You know, I believe Margaret Wente may finally have had an original thought. Unless she also plagiarized that one from someone else.
He is indeed who he is, he really can't help it. He can't do the one thing that could save him.
Time is his enemy.
And by pursuing his crazed obsession with destroying Justin Trudeau.
He will only make himself even less popular.
And may well end up destroying HIMSELF...
In my last post I told you how Stephen Harper's obsession with destroying Justin Trudeau is slowly driving him over the deep end.
Making him believe that only by destroying Justin can he make himself popular again.
But he does have a Plan B.
And as Michael Harris reports, it's just as CRAZY.
There’s an elephant in the room: Stephen Harper’s record in office. He needs to make it disappear. He doesn’t have much time.
The political leader who endorses disrupting opponents’ political meetings but shuns reasoned debate, who won’t talk to the premiers but loved barbecues in Rob Ford’s backyard, and who puts out his own newscast but treats real journalists like Ebola carriers, is embarked on a course to make people forget the basic fact of every election — that it’s always about the government’s record.
He needs to hide his record, for obvious reasons. And rather than talk about that he would rather talk about other things, like beheadings.
There are a lot of taboo topics the PM would just as soon we forget about. Stephen Harper would rather talk about beheadings than the dead room he has made of public discourse in Canada — and his dismal record after eight years in power.
Just not the ones carried out by his friends, and fellow oil pimps, the Saudis...
Since 1985, the government of Saudi Arabia, to whom Canada sells military equipment, has executed 2,000 people — most by beheading. Many of those executed were women — and lot of those women were beheaded for witchcraft or adultery, according to The Guardian.
And in pursuit of Justin Trudeau and another majority he is apparently willing to say or do ANYTHING.
But what does Steve want to talk about most? Why, the other guys, of course, and why they’re not fit to run the country. Brian Mulroney called Tom Mulcair the best leader of the Opposition since Diefenbaker. Harper says he’s not fit to run the country because … well, because he doesn’t excel in the corporate ass-kissing department. No lip-liner for Tom.
And Justin? Justin is a callow little defiler of young brides and his father was a slut — or at least that was the gist of Ezra Levant’s recent unhinged rant on the person the polls keep saying will be Canada’s next prime minister. As Scott Feschuk cleverly put it on Twitter, this was Ezra’s “magnus Trudeau-pus … the masterpiece Ezra has been working toward all his life: Trudeau steals a kiss.”
And one really has to wonder where that depraved leader is taking us.
If the PM gets his way, there won’t be room in the gutter by the time a titillated, misinformed and seething country makes its way to the polls like a British soccer mob after the home side loses and the pubs are closed. It’s how you make elephants disappear, don’t you know?
And the good news?
if that's Plan B he better start working on Plan C as soon as he can eh?
Because that one won't work.
He will not escape his record.
Or his many scandals.
His crass desperation will only make him look uglier. As he crawls through the gutter...
And while I'm not sure how exactly you make an elephant disappear.
What I do know is that when those seething Canadians turn up at the polls.
They will disappear HIM...
