As much as I love Michael Moore and deplore the Islamophobic statements Bill Maher made not long ago, he nails it when he says “America is like a dog”. In this case, the abused dog went toward someone who offered the treat of lower taxes and smaller government, basically, but instead will abuse them further.
The same thing could be described of many Canadians; they don’t understand issues; they understand fear and deflection; all things shiny. Why do you suppose many of the Timmy’s Crowd appreciates that the Harpercons have dumbed down Canada?
