The slow creep of GOP style fascism


Just when exactly, did Canada and Britain start working off the GOP playbook? Which way was I looking when Steven Harper banned the media from documenting returning casualties from abroad, when he began hand picking the questions he was to be asked by the press? When he gave up Canada’s position as an international leader in the Kyoto talks?

Who allowed the new English anti terror laws that allow the jailing of any person for days without cause and allow authors to be jailed if they are seen to be glorifying terrorism?

I watched the results the entire night during the last election, nearly every count in every riding, about 2/3rd’s of voters voted for left of center parties, but because of Canada’s multi party system and antiquated non transferable vote counting, in went the conservatives.

We know what this is all about. This is America getting what it wants from Canada again, come to think of it, the Kyoto waffling came around the same time Canada became the largest foreign supplier of crude to the USA.

I am sick and tired of this shit, the government is supposed to be working at the pleasure of the people, but time and time again the money wins out over popular opinion or logic. I will be writing letters, talking to people and blogging about it until you are thrown out and replaced by someone who won’t put the economy and America higher on the agenda than the environment and our Canadian Values.

Fuck you Harper. (If I’m still afforded the opportunity of free speech, that is. I’m sure CSIS will let me know if I’ve violated a terroristic thoughts law.)

Enough of that, watch this.

Yeah and the results are pretty well documented in the video link.

On the bright side, Harper seems bound and determined to alienate voters over one thing or another on a weekly basis. Now I'm reading of the Harper government abandoning the EnerGuide subsidy program. If this keeps up, the only supporters he'll have in the next election will be the separatists and drunkards, and they always vote Conservative anyway.

Hey, as a weekend drunkard I take offense to that!

Actually, one time I got totally trashed and voted green. What a waste.

Am I the only one who thinks that pic of Harper looks like a Krofft Brothers' Kreation?
