Great post at Interrobang’s Internationale on what we can expect from a Harper government.
Here’s what you are voting for, if you mark that ballot for your local CPC candidate:
* fewer and less stringent food and water inspections — Walkerton: The Sequel, coming soon to your town!
* the further demotion of women to a “special interest group” (Does The Smirking Corpse not have a mother?)
* allowing the continued abrogation of the Treaty of 1814 by the US government without so much of a murmur of protest (Hey, Corpsey, you’re all about northern sovereignty; what about southern sovereignty? What about that “longest undefended border” thing? Are we not into doing that anymore? If so, I demand you arm the rest of the border, to keep the Americans out.)
* an economic plan guaranteed to cause further rising income inequality

Lets not forget Harris also ran besweatered father knows best, aren’t I just the most docile little thing ads before he got into power and kicked everyone and their kids who didn’t belong to the right income group. In fact Harper has already begun this process, see list of just some of the Harper cut & run government decimation here.
Harper on Health Care;
In his 2002 Throne Speech Reply, Stephen Harper said: “A government monopoly is not the only way to deliver health care to Canadians. … It (the federal government) must remove any barriers, any chill to increase private capital investment plans that the provinces have for our health-care system.” Parkland Institute
Harper on Kyoto;
“Kyoto is essentially a socialist scheme to suck money out of wealth-producing nations,” CBC
Harper Government on Women;
Took out equality from SWC mandate, banned lobbying and research for SWC, originally cut budget by 5 million, called Belinda Stronach a dog by McKay further fueled by Norman Spector saying “Bitch is a word I would use to describe someone like Belinda Stronach.”
Some background on the real Harper
It’s amazing what you can persuade them (party members) to do once you convince them it’s the leader who is telling them.”
The Conservative leader is totally enamoured with the U.S., supportive of the Iraq war and ballistic missile defence (despite his coyness), admires U.S. President George W. Bush, detests social programs and the equality principle that drives them, and is a proud believer in America’s culture of possessive individualism. As such, he is more at odds with Canadians’ values than any national party leader in 60 years. Handing over the reigns of government to a man who has contempt for his own country would be a catastrophic mistake. Scandal or no scandal, Canadians need to keep their eye on the prize: the future of their country.{NOTE:and there has been scandal}
There is a war on Canadian soil. It is a war to replace traditional Canadian social values with neocon disregard for justice, for rights and for community. Fight back with your vote.
