Thanks for pointing that out, Torontonian. That’s what I thought because I remember thinking that that in of itself DWARFED AdScam. In fact, so many things have dwarfed AdScam that I am at a loss when it comes to supporting any politician. All the opposition parties have been painfully useless since Harper first got a toe in on Parliament Hill. The mighty LPC was so busy infighting that they failed to recognize how weasel Harper would exploit and destroy them. It’s been a long line of idiot politicians and useless media since then.

I stand corrected. It was 3.1 Billion and not 3.1Million. Thanks

I saw this passage above and wondered if
the figure is right.

despite the 3.1M$ gone missing.

I think you mean 3.1B$

Billion–not million.

Or am I wrong?

While I am not quite as convinced that this is the future, that it is clearly a plausible to likely future I have to agree with. It is clearly motivation for Harper to stick around, however ck I think you may be underestimating the long term corrosive effect of his approach to governing even on the “shallow” voters of this country. Not that I am willing to assume that of course, the Kinsella article you linked to was one of his better ones in my opinion and made a lot of very valid points that people starting to write Harper and the CPC off had better pay attention to. I was one of those that always saw that Harper could rise to power, it was why I kept screaming about the dangers he posed back since before the PCPC was sold out by Traitor MacKay. I also knew the voter makeup of this nation is such that so long as someone does not look too ideological or too extreme that they can rise to lead this country if they believe they can manage things economically, something Harper has somehow managed to do even to this day despite his actual record proving pretty much the opposite. Can you imagine how bad it would have been if Harper had gotten the majority in 2006 and missed the 2008 crash as he clearly was doing until the Opposition literally forced him to act (and for which he now takes major credit for with that economic action plan crap)? Still though in the main you make a lot of sense in his post, and while I hope and plan to work to make your prediction not happen only a fool would pretend that you don’t have many major valid points throughout your article.

After the last BC election, I have to agree with you on this.

As much as I wish it were otherwise.
