Have they not been watching? The criterion for being nominated as a conservative candidate is full obedience to Harper and unquestioning support of his Neo-liberal agenda. Being appointed to Harpers cabinet, the senate or any other high level position is Harpers reward for that full obedience. Ches Crosbie, has been there, done that and he's not focused on advancing his career at this stage in his life. He doesn't need Harper. Translated , he's not obliged to serve his master. He can disagree and even criticize Harper. Harper and his cronies probably see Crosbie as a loose canon. I can't picture some one in short pants phoning Crosbie and telling him, "this is how you are going to vote and here are your talking points." Crosbies Progressive Conservative roots are seen as a threat to Haroers authority. Harpers conservatives in thinking and practice are actually reform/alliance. Like any dictator, Harper does not want any one who can't follow orders. Actually I would have been surprised if Harper had approved Crosbies nomination.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842215982128591742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-27763720307044080512015-07-04T13:14:48.890-04:002015-07-04T13:14:48.890-04:00When I watch and listen to Harper these days, Lorn...When I watch and listen to Harper these days, Lorne, I see and hear echoes of Macbeth.
