I do hope that my neighbors take the time to see that Harper wants to sell oil so we can buy cheap 'food' from China!!

The Chinese will certainly vote for Harper. China wants the Enbridge pipeline forced through. China also wants the timber from BC, even BC's ancient forests. The Chinese also own BC mines.<br /><br />Then there is the votes of the Jewish Canadians. There are the votes of the Canadian Ukrainians. What about the countries own home grown terrorists people, that go overseas to fight? <br /><br />Now that Harper has given Poland the ship building contract, instead of BC? I am sure the Polish in Canada will vote for Harper too.<br /><br />Also if, Harper knows he won't win, he cheats. Harper is getting all of his ducks in a row, to cheat this next election too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-36013840631617713182014-07-04T13:10:40.285-04:002014-07-04T13:10:40.285-04:00It's becoming clear, Mogs, that a significant ...It's becoming clear, Mogs, that a significant number of people who voted for Harper in the past wouldn't do it again.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-5104647360214183042014-07-04T13:05:13.722-04:002014-07-04T13:05:13.722-04:00That's a distinct possibility, Toby.That's a distinct possibility, Toby.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-50162011864543556712014-07-04T12:46:11.897-04:002014-07-04T12:46:11.897-04:00Liberals are the natural party of federal Canada, ...Liberals are the natural party of federal Canada, which Harper tried to destroy and impound us with American big business dictaorial government.<br /><br />Hah we get the last laugh Steve lost his marbles in a playground game and now he is about to loose his cookies.
