It's curious, isn't it, that Harper not only wants to defeat his opposition, he wants to destroy it?<br /><br />That says a great deal about the man's basic insecurity -- and why it's dangerous to have him at the helm of the ship of state.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-1871993889038329852012-05-06T09:25:46.382-04:002012-05-06T09:25:46.382-04:00This pattern of bullying legislation through in sh...This pattern of bullying legislation through in short time for oversized omnibus bills is just another example of the Harper Governments contempt for parliament and it real desire to rule without opposition.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-17828427711202935602012-05-05T10:29:44.611-04:002012-05-05T10:29:44.611-04:00Absolutely true, theo.
