More than a decade ago he stood in front of the Council for National Policy, and let them know how much he despised us.
From there, this dangerous and secretive group knew they had an ally. A perfect Canadian gift. Someone so in love with their country he'd do anything to meet George Bush and get on Fox news.
However, for those of us who knew this, we took comfort in the fact that we'd been able to keep him to a minority. With the Canada first parties holding the majority in Parliament, he'd never be able to get away with it.
But I guess he didn't need a majority after all. Instead he was able to maneuver himself into a dictatorship, and guess what folks?
We are now the 51st state in everything but name. Give him time. I'm sure part of the deal was to christen this new state, the Land of Harper. Kind of catchy isn't it?
And the good news is, Sarah Palin may be our next president. I wonder if Stevie will be her running mate?
