James Travers wrote an excellent column that I have to share. As he runs a checklist of all the horrendous things that Harper has done, he closes with: "Every example is familiar, all are documented. Only the cumulative effect is surprising."
Surprising indeed.
A few examples, but please read them all. James Travers is right. Canada has become the wrong kind of country.
Imagine a country where Parliament is padlocked twice in 13 months to frustrate the democratic will of the elected majority. That country is now this country.
Imagine a country that slyly relaxes environmental regulations even as its neighbour reels from a catastrophic oil leak blamed on slack controls. That country is now this country.
Imagine a country that boasts about prudent financial management while blowing through a $13-billion surplus on the way to a $47-billion deficit. That country is now this country.
Imagine a country where a political operative puts fork-tongued words in a top general’s mouth. That country is now this country.
Imagine a country that refuses to fund the same safe abortions to poor women abroad as it provides at home. That country is now this country ....
