Harper's Historic Comments Show That His Ideology Is The SAME As Mitt Romney's
Just for the record ... Stephen Harper has a history of saying negative things about working Canadians .. the ones who don't belong to Country Clubs or have offshore bank accounts. Anyone who was shocked by Mitt Romney's comments on '47%' of Americans should take a closer look at what our own Conservative Party Leader has said on the record ....
"In terms of the unemployed, of which we have over a million-and-a-half, don't feel particularly bad for many of these people. They don't feel bad about it themselves, as long as they're receiving generous social assistance and unemployment insurance."
-Stephen Harper, then vice-president of the National Citizens Coalition, in a June 1997 Montreal meeting of the Council for National Policy, a right-wing American think tank.
"Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it. Canadians make no connection between the fact that they are a Northern European welfare state and the fact that we have very low economic growth, a standard of living substantially lower than yours, a massive brain drain of young professionals to your country, and double the unemployment rate of the United States."
- Stephen Harper, then vice-president of the National Citizens Coalition, in a June 1997 Montreal meeting of the Council for National Policy, a right-wing American think tank.
"Your country [the USA], and particularly your conservative movement, is a light and an inspiration to people in this country and across the world."
-Stephen Harper, then vice-president of the National Citizens Coalition, in a June 1997 Montreal meeting of the Council for National Policy, a right-wing American think tank.
"Canada appears content to become a second-tier socialistic country, boasting ever more loudly about its economy and social services to mask its second-rate status, led by a second-world strongman appropriately suited for the task."
- Stephen Harper in his article "It is time to seek a new relationship with Canada," December 12th, 2000.
Harper described Canada's Maritime provinces as : "A culture of defeat..."
- Stephen Harper, describing the Atlantic provinces, May 2001.
Ultimately, Mr. Harper has achieved the reins of power ... and busily doles out Billions of tax dollars to free loading, corporate welfare bums!
I also found the parallels chilling. Two oligarchs cut from the very same ideological cloth. The greatest difference, perhaps, is that Romney is caught on video admitting that he was indeed born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

We all know Harper thieves from the people, to give to the wealthiest corporations in the world. Harper's favorite charity is, big oil. He also gives them huge tax reductions. Then we hear that fool of a Flaherty saying, they have to cut way back, in spending. Then stop giving billions of our tax dollars, to greedy corrupt corporations, corrupt banks, mines and big oil. Stop giving them, huge tax reductions. Why doesn't Flaherty stop, the obscene amounts of our tax dollars being thieved and wasted. Did Harper really need, a stupid $1 billion dollar fake lake, for cripes sake?
Have people read about, Harper's speech in New York, at the Council of Foreign Relations, Sept 25/2007? Romney is Harper's favorite to win. One isn't anymore tightly wrapped, than the other is. Lord help us all, with that combination.
The worst thing that happened to Canada, is Harper. We all know, he cheated to win, with the robo-call cheat. Harper is using more dirty tactics, to lie and cheat his way out of that too.

Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Would you please help the OSC to start an effective communication with the Chinese government regarding the Sino-forest case, so that the unfair Restructuring Plan can be stopped or changed for shareholders?
If the current Restructuring Plan is approved, it will be just like the media reported,"Sino-forest's assets far exceed its liabilities, but shareholders are likely to end up with nothing..."
