This article, as was with Tyee, extrapolates a very generalized (and skewed as far as I'm concerned) opinion on a church and follows this up with the remarkable assumption that Harper exemplifies this in his gvt/leadership.

I might also remind you that the Cdn gvt is not a dictatorship, regardless if their stance on issues is not to your individual approval... You might want to think on that a bit

Harpo has a Napoleon complex and does run the PMO like a dictatorship. He is a fanatic and dangerous to the Canada our fathers built.
Heave Steve. He is a menace.

I think we elect representatives, but they simply follow the party line, which for the most part, is DICTATED from the PM's inner circle. We need minority governments in parliament to see any sort of fair governance.

A bit derailed from my point though, which is simply we have a leader with radical views, polarizing the county against radical views in foreign nations. This is not who should represent a " peaceful nation ". Far from it, and far from what the vast majority of the citizens want.

I think there's "enough on his plate" right now to render him fairly harmless. Duffy probably keeps him awake a good part of the night and then after he's done there's Pammy to contend with. And then if there's any time left over he can worry himself about Mulcair and the next election. If he hasn't already screwed himself over Omar who seems to have quite a bit of support!..........It's a circus for sure!

The guy in this video is cherry picking statistics to make his claim, or trying to question the motives of those he is attacking rather.
Irrelevant, he's right and their motives are important.

Harper government did nothing to help the economy, demand for our nations natural resources did.
And as we all know, natural resources move themselves to markets and market themselves well.

Insert eye roll here.

This far out seat projections are meaningless polls are not.
In fact I believe ECOS has found a way to internet poll and
the first results last week showed NDP 35% Tories 29%
and the Liberals at 25%. Other polls will of course change
the standings. This election is going to be wide open with
no one being safe from anything. You can feel it in the air.
People want change. Just what kind of change is still to
be determined

Wrong PM. This one does not have radical views, rather he is attempting to fix the problems caused by various predecessors that did have radical views.

This guy may start to be getting a little radical too. He seems to have a "hard on" for Omar and divulging the identity and location of the troops in Iraq was definitely not too smart!

How much responsibility are listed in that there charter ?

Well of course the Canada your father built ,centered around living in mud huts a eaking out a meager existence .

Simple solution is to stop blindly supporting one party or another .
If the whole electorate refused party politics we would have none .
Sadly it is much easier to spew Harper the dictator Trudeau the pretty little boy Mulchair the angry man and listen to none of them .

I think there's "enough on his plate" right now to render him fairly harmless. Duffy probably keeps him awake a good part of the night and then after he's done there's Pammy to contend with.

Gee if Duffy is causing PM Harper to loose sleep at night for a made up scandal that cost the people of Canada nothing , I wonder how much sleep PM Cretian lost over a scandal that cost Canadians millions ?
