If Harper And The Conservatives HATE Separatists ... (the Quebecois version) ... Why Don't They Also Condemn Western Separatists?
Here is where their inconsistency shows itself ... WHEN, (if ever), have you heard Harper or ANY Conservative condemn or even criticise the yammering of Western Separatists?

UPDATE: The Conservative Party of Canada's DIRTY LITTLE SECRET - (its full of western separatists!)

Well never Buck, because given Stephen Harper's past speeches and attitudes regarding firewalls and such, he is clearly one.
How about that? A Western Separatist who is Prime Minister. And was born and raised in Toronto.
Is this a great country or what?

1. Who says they hate the separatists, apart from you? And, even if they did, would this be confined to conservatives? Evidence/proof please.
2. Yes, that rampant Western Separation Party (the one with ZERO seats, you know, the non-existent one), really does have Canada in its sights, eh? Only in your mind.
Buckdog, you CAN do better than this if you want some publicity. I guess it must have been a slow news day and you were down a quart of self-induced "fame".

Er, because western separatists and their ilk are the HarperCrites' base?
Just a guess.

My impression is that Harper and his supporters don't really hate separatists as much as they hate French people.
It shines through occasionally.

Good job in this post. You were one of the bloggers who brought the story to my attention. For any fellow easterners who have a hard time understanding just who or what the WBTA is all about, I wrote a backgrounder blog post on it tonight. Feel free to post a comment.
