Did he cheat to hold on to his thread bare majority? These questions are currently being given no answers and buried under a political and soon to be red tape seal, we will never know the truth and reality. That is why any thinking Canadian has the right to question and disbelieve Harper and his team. Precisely because he confusticates and muddies the waters of any investigation or challenge to his moral leadership, authority and decision making process.<br /><br />It has become obvious that he works for foreign nationals (corporations) because these are the only parties that directly benefit from his "laws" we as the Canadian public do not.<br /><br />As far as opinions of other countries Harper cares not, he is aiming for a much more financially secure alliance. The largest corporations on the planet now have more money power than the majority of nation states. This is who Harper is trying to please.<br /><br />This is the reach of their power it touches everything:<br /><br />https://www.google.ca/search?noj=1&site=webhp&source=hp&q=who+is+richer+trans%2Fmultinational+corporations+and+countries+of+the+world%3F&oq=who+is+richer+trans%2Fmultinational+corporations+and+countries+of+the+world%3F&gs_l=hp.12...19581.19581.0.22042.1.1.0.0.0.0.889.889.6-1.1.0....0...1c.1.43.hp..1.0.0.X4wsTOe0vCQ<br /><br />So in-spite of the backlash stating that Harper is not a master strategist, who else could have pulled of a coup like Harper and Reagan before him to make us kneel down and bow to corporate power?<br /><br />This is why we as Canadians do not like him: he is a corporate puppet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868396408359306954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-41395692979872828422014-05-08T20:32:20.564-04:002014-05-08T20:32:20.564-04:00Even my Conservative friends seem stymied at Harpe...Even my Conservative friends seem stymied at Harper's catfight with the Chief Justice. He puts his credibility against her integrity all on a highly-implausible claim, pure contrivance and somehow expects to emerge undamaged? Let's see, who to trust, a politician, any politician, or the chief justice of the highest court in the land?

The other thing worth noting is that these are relative rankings, and reflect declining environmental and social values in almost all Western "democracies", with a net effect more stark than what the report may indicate. I thought Stockwell Day was my worst nightmare until I saw Harper's nose coming over the parapet, occasioning immediate trembling, gooseflesh and hair-raising.
