Canadians are nice people. We work hard. We care about our neighbors both at home and abroad. A wonderful country made up of unique and distinct regions, cultures and peoples. Our citizens have roots in ever nation on the planet. We have fought in wars when the world was threatened and we have worked to ensure peace in volatile hot spots.
Yet a complacency crept into the nation and things were taken for granted.
A quiet, dark worldview was festering beneath the surface. A whiny, snarky, angry selfcenterdness emerged from some corners of the nation. It germinated and manifested itself in the vile policies of the old Reform Party that was filled with so much anger and nastiness. From this vile movement sprang the political career of Stephen Harper. He is a spiteful, crafty and devious character. His complete lack of political civility and community ethics is stunning to behold.
He argued for Canada to join in George Bush's invasion of Iraq. He finally managed to get Canada bogged down (as many of his critics predicted would happen) in Afghanistan. Now we are bombing Libya.
Stephen Harper is a blight upon the nation. The sooner that he is relegated to the historic 'past' of this nation, the safer we all will be.
Stephen Harper has been prime minster far longer than he deserves. He has been prime minster far longer than Canada deserves.
