Is Stephen Harper the Dear Leader in disguise? - The Globe and Mail
Is there any difference between Stephen Harper and North Korea’s defunct Dear Leader? Maybe not as much as you might think. Many eminent Canadians are warning that Mr. Harper and his hard-right Conservatives are turning our beloved nation into a thuggish, dictatorial, one-party state.
In an exit interview the other night with As It Happens, outgoing Senator Tommy Banks (appointed by the Liberals, and best known as a jazz musician) declared that he is deeply alarmed about the country’s direction. He vowed to keep fighting as long as he has breath to set things right. Chronicler Peter C. Newman is similarly distressed. In his book When the Gods Changed, he argues not only that the Natural Governing Party is finished, but so too is the Canada he once knew and loved.

Its only a one party state because the other party (the Lieberals) are a joke. If they ever get their act together, then it will be a 2 party state again.

Wow, some people need to stop taking drugs, or start taking them if they aren't.

How do people survive when they're so paranoid about Stephen Harper?

Moral relativism at its best. This is an attempt to blur the lines between a morally bankrupt dictator and a democratically elected Prime Minister. Next we'll be told there was no moral difference between Hitler and the allied forces.

News Flash - Margaret is clearly looking for a Story Line - Oddly enough I say that because many Big L Liberals condemn the Nat Post as an adjunct of the Harper Govt - But i find the NP to be as critical of harper as they would be of any dumb ass policy.

The line that Harper is a Proto Fascist is beyond any hint of credibility. Much the same as the lines in bold just do not hold any water or common sense.

One point she does not make is that all the nutcases are not under medical care.

They are both idiots.
A puppet is not necessarily an idiot. He knows which side is buttering his bread.

And anybody who can piss off the west for decades and not get himself killed, can't be completely stupid. Just ask Kaddaffy. Oh, you can't.

Stupidity of the highest.

When all the killing was done, not that much difference.
