Harper's Boys in the Alley

Just when we were starting to think the main thing wrong with the Conservatives is their leader, Harper, they come roaring up with a ferocious reminder that they really are a dangerous bunch who really do not know how to use a knife and fork.

In the interior of BC a current Member of Parliament, a Conservative, is helping a new Conservative candidate to run for office in the next election. The present MP for the riding however is a member of the NDP, one whose popularity among voters has risen with each of the past two elections.

The Conservative MP now helping out the newly minted Conservative candidate, has said to listeners to a radio show not to bother with their elected MP, and if they want to approach government they should contact the new candidate, who is presently the mayor of a small town in the riding. This Conservative MP, Dick Harris, said that constituents would have a great benefit from having direct contact with the government which they have not had since 2004 ( because they have twice elected an NDP MP). That NDP MP, Nathan Cullen said he was floored by the vulgarity of Dick Harris who is "suggesting that the whole voting process is almost unnecessary by the Conservative perspective... because they will just simply appoint whom they wish to hear from as opposed to whom the people have chosen..."

Again we see that at heart this bunch is really the Reform crowd. They do not believe in democracy at all. They believe only in power. Let loose with a majority in power in Ottawa they would be as reliable as a bank robber let loose in an empty bank with the tills and vault stuffed with cash, and not a guard in sight. What the heck, if there are none but themselves to guard the bank, who cares about anyone else. They don't. Harper is a very bad thing. Harper's near gangster supporters are just as bad. Pretty soon they would decide that we do not really need elections either, in fact what is the point of a vote once they have power. People can always write to them, couldn't they. Sure.
