The provincial lieberals out here just say one thing, get elected and do another. It leaves one just a tad wary of anything a politician has to say. Better to look at what they have done, hope for the best and then see what they do, not what they say.<br /><br />Haprer promised open government. Did we get it? No Secrecy abounds and scientists are muzzled.

Given our resources and, our resource jobs to Communist China, that's about it.<br /><br />The media are mostly, propaganda machines for Harper. They are a disgrace to their professions. There is no such thing as, good honest journalism and reporting anymore.<br /><br />Of course Harper isn't democratic. He was Policy Chief for his, Northern Foundation Party of 1989. It's kind of hard to miss. Harper has no ethics, morals, decency nor democracy in his make-up, what-so-ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-35976985820673834302013-02-21T11:09:25.193-05:002013-02-21T11:09:25.193-05:00From what I read of Coyne's opinions, Kirby, i...From what I read of Coyne's opinions, Kirby, it would appear that -- regardless of his economic policies -- Coyne believes Harper is profoundly undemocratic.<br /><br />If he had paid more attention to the man and less to Harper's policies, perhaps Coyne would not have had to admit that he voted Liberal in the last election.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-45531293446090498492013-02-21T10:47:18.598-05:002013-02-21T10:47:18.598-05:00It is profoundly disingenuous for Mr. Coyne to bem...It is profoundly disingenuous for Mr. Coyne to bemoan the rise of Trudeau and to criticize the process as some kind of regrettable cult of personality. Mr. Coyne has been part of the media that has robbed our political culture of meaningful content. Coyne has written many articles in mindless praise of Harper while Harper has operated the first real completely contentless government. And when I say that I mean a government that has been doing many things to this country but most of them by stealth while continually avoiding actual addressing issues head on, and with a PM who has never answered an unvetted question since he came to power. Mr. Coyne has, de facto, celebrated the whole notion of emptying politics of content so his fussing now is completely nonsensical and not a little ironic.
