More reasons why I will not tolerate Stephen Harper as Prime Minister ...
see this link about his latest contempt for Canada:

Will this man ever convey a Love of Country to the electorate?
We have shown evidence of many good qualities over our History.
* Loyalty to the Crown and Empire - despite much privation - in the face of American republicanism;
* Carving a Great Nation out an utter and sheer wilderness;
* Construction of a "Ribbon of Steel" through the barrens to unite this Dominion;
* The incorporation of more territory in building the second largest country on earth;
* Innovative use of tariffs to build an industrial economy;
* Imperial Glory-in-Arms in South-Africa;
* Uncommon, and many times - untold, Deeds of Valour at Ypres, the Somme, Vimy Ridge, and "the Last 100 Days;"
* Imperial Leadership on many occasions, culminating in the Statute of Westminster;
* Superhuman Courage and Sacrifice in fighting alone with the Empire, and eventually defeating both Hitlerism and Japanese militarism;
* Co-founding both the United Nations and NATO;
* Building a tolerant, wealthy, and generous nation in the aftermath of War;
* Scoring high in the UN Human Development Index on a consistent basis;
* Eradicating the deficit and paying down our National debt in the 1990's - and beyond.
THESE are just some of the things that I am proud of Canada for doing.
I LOVE my Country and would DIE for it.
I Honour and respect Her Majesty the Queen - Our most gracious Lord and Sovereign.
I admire and respect my Countrymen.
I honour and salute the sacrifices of my Ancestors, Grandparents, and Parents.
THEY built this Canada. It is my inheritance. I shall defend Her. I will respect Her.
Stephen Harper evidences none of this respect, or appreciation.
He loves America, and that inhumane liberalism they call their "conservatism."
He will not get my Vote.

Would you be the same type of Canadian-born proto-US "conservative" who has turned his back on his heritage (the very thing conservatism exists to preserve) because you love your self and money more than your Country ? The US is NOT the model for Canada to follow; in fact, if you weren't so "ignorant" you would realise that Canada was founded on principles that are in a great sense the very opposite (in terms of constituional democracies)of what the US stands for. In fact, this was done on PURPOSE. It was the DESIGN. It was the INTENT. People like you would sell it all off in exchange for lower marginal tax rates and deeper integration. Harper has a secret agenda. His whitewashing of his true beliefs is not credible. He has close to 20 years worth of NCC opinion to answer for. He is NOT a conservative in the Canadian sense, but a classical liberal. In may ways I am to the Right of him, and in many ways I am to the Left of him. WHY ? Because I am a Tory. All he has is dogma. If Burke were alive, he would reject him as an ideologue, which if you know any Burke, means that Harper is dangerous. Live is not lived by theories and paradigms. Life is lived be people and practices. Some work better than others depnding on the goals set-out, but NO ONE PERSON OR THEORY has uncovered the Truth as to how to order Civil Society - with the exception of the proven method of parliamentary democracy.
If I had to chose any the Four Leaders to stand up and defend Canada, Harper would be the man.
Fogman:
If you REALLY believe this then:
*You are under 30 years of age;
*You haven't followed Harper's career over 20 years like I have;
*You don't know any Canadian history, prior to 1975;
*You want to be an American.
Either way, I hold you in comtempt for making such an uninformed statement.
