If anybody tells you the federal election going on right now is just a regular run-of-the-mill political contest between rival parties, don’t believe it.

In fact, this election is actually nothing less than a full-blown cultural war.

Or at least, that’s the view of Canada’s cultural, media and academic elites, i.e. all those columnists, artists and professors out there who consider themselves intellectually and morally superior to the ill-educated rabble inhabiting the untamed suburban and rural wild lands that lay just beyond the borders of the civilized and sophisticated urban downtown cores.

Yes, for Canada’s urban downtown elites this election is about one thing and one thing only: driving Prime Minister Stephen Harper out of office not because of what he says, not because of what he does, but simply because of who he is.

Or to put it more accurately, Canada’s elites hate Harper because of what he isn’t – he isn’t one of them.

Harper is not part of their culture.

He isn't one of us either. Po' dude's out in no-man's-land, I guess. He isn't even blue-collar.

What a silly article. I'm not an elite and I have no use for the man. Only a fool would look at Harpers record and not see things that a reasonable non-ideologue would oppose.

Lord Monckton predicted that Tony Abbot would get removed and that the Harper conservatives would go down to defeat because the UN is working overtime to remove them from office because they were the two holdouts on global climate change Marxism known as Agenda 21.

What the f**k makes an "elite"? Someone who sees him/herself to be better than someone THEY perceive to be less sophisticated? They can go screw themselves! :)
I don't see the necessity for Harper to fall into any pre set mold, as long as he acts like Harper!

That's a bunch of conservative BS. Anybody with more than two working brain cells knows why this secretive, paranoid and paranoia spreading little fascist needs to be gone. It is actually mind boggling how his supporters have been hood winked by this psychopath. 7 deficits in a row and they still think he is a great economist. He robs Peter to pay Paul and declares a surplus and they all have a circle jerk.
