"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.
I started this blogsite in early 2006 when Harper was newly sworn in as Prime Minister of Canada. I didn't like him. I knew he was a political Trojan Horse with a Right Wing agenda and intentions of changing the nation into a Bizzaro world of corporate elitism and influence.
I was correct.
Harper's sleazy, dishonest, lying, arrogant, dictatorial approach to governing left a bad taste with me.
Stephen Harper is a disgrace to Canada .. to Canadians and to the Office of Prime Minster.
He should be held in utter disgust and contempt by Canadians.
I spit on the Harper era.
He is finished today. Good riddance. I sincerely hope that the door DOES hit him in the ass as he leaves.
