The article outlines a great disservice to young people and the country. Then of course there is the terrible treatment of the young people who joined the armed forces. There is a suicide rate amongst them, which is criminal. All because Stephen Harper and his ilk refuse to provide adequate funding for mental health or compensate them sufficiently for their injuries.<br /><br />What harper has done, he would have done at any age. Its not about youth, they are simply the latest victims of his policies. He just doesn't care and neither do the members of his party. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-67654018690268886802014-04-14T01:02:57.834-04:002014-04-14T01:02:57.834-04:00Yes Owen the policy ties it all together and lets ...Yes Owen the policy ties it all together and lets the cat out of the bag simultaneously, does it not?<br /><br />Mogs Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-53415703964502568862014-04-13T23:42:24.718-04:002014-04-13T23:42:24.718-04:00Thanks for the links, Mogs.

Stephen has never pretended he had the youth vote he knows they do not like him or his ilk. He claims seniors love him, false. Stephen picked on the elderly that were not voting for him with his robo-call campaign. So in reality Stephen is not representative of the older folks either, except now wait a minute. There are a couple of old fellows in the US that can't vote for him and can't contribute to his election war chest, legally that is, but consider him god's gift to old Oilmen doing business in Canada, real down home good ole' boys.<br /><br />Stephen shares their views on healthcare, there should not be any, unemployment insurance, there should not be any, minimum wage, there should not be any, unions, there should not be any, environmental protection, there should not be any, taxes on corporations, there should not be any, women having rights over their own bodies, there should not be any, gay rights, there should not be any, state paid education, there should not be any, government regulation on the capitalist free market, there should not be any, first nation status, there should not be any, penalties for a corporate sponsored government, there should not be any, and on. As a matter of fact I've been checking lately and there is a definitive flow from these elderly Americans that leads right to Harper's door of policy implementation and who stand to profit handsomely from Harper's policies while old and young alike and all Canadians suffer because of it.<br /><br />Koch brothers -->Fraser Institute -->Tom Flanagan -->Stephen Harper & Ez Levant then there is Harper government and again -->Ez Levant -->Ethical Oil -->Harper policy<br /><br />This is where the connection start crossing worse than the wires in the old analog telephone system. Ez has direct ties to Koch, Harper does not appear to but his policies in fact make the Kochs business in Canada a walk through the park to monopolies go; where they cash in on a windfall, thanks to Stephen. And Ez's hyperbole is inseparable from con talking points, they both share the same writers it seems. If one looks at the connections of Ez's Ethical Oil and the Harper government it becomes obvious. We know the Kochs are a major supporter of The Fraser Institute and Tom Flanagan the American professor at the University of Calgary that created Harper is a major player of that institute. Then there is Ezra Levant a former pupil of Flanagan who claims that Flanagan “He is the master strategist, the godfather—even of Harper.”<br /><br />Links will be posted in the following post for anyone interested in where and why our country is being led so astray by Harper for the Kochs at Canadians peril, connect the dots, it should make your blood boil. The Koch brother's are the biggest single investor in Canadian oil exports, pipelines, tar sands etc and Steve's policies are a windfall better than winning a lottery for them, more like being able to rig the lottery.<br /><br />MogsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-35253907958724532402014-04-13T17:37:11.473-04:002014-04-13T17:37:11.473-04:00Harper is driven by blind fury, Mound.

He knows the old are insecure and susceptible to fear-based politics and Harper knows how to play to those vulnerabilities. He inflames their fears and then purports to protect them. In this way he transforms his victims into his supporters. Every whorish politician over the centuries has mastered that trick.<br /><br />Fear-driven, divide & conquer politics requires no leadership, demands no vision. Real leadership aims to strengthen and unite the public behind commonly held aims and visions. Flanagan always said that Harper abhors vision of any sort.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.com
