Jean Chretien has a point about the role the Liberals need to play in the age of a Harper majority – be bold. With the Conservatives chiselling away at the personal freedoms formerly enjoyed by Canadians – and non-Canadians - this country needs strong opposition to counter the upcoming tsunami of evangelical cleansing of our rights and freedoms.
“Unless we are bold. Unless we seize the moment. Everything we built will start being chipped away,” the former prime minister writes in a toughly-worded fundraising letter. “The Conservatives have already ended gun control and Kyoto. Next may be a woman’s right to choose, or gay marriage. Then might come capital punishment. And one by one, the values we cherish as Canadians will be gone.”
Sounds a little paranoid and extreme, right? It isn’t. With the Conservatives reversing the legality of same-sex marriages of non-Canadians who have tied the knot in this country and the increasingly loud cry from the party to open the abortion debate, we are on the precipice of what looks very much like a theocracy.
Oh no, not in Canada Jymn! That’s nuts. Oh yeah? Think about it. The prisons, Bill C-10, the accelerating incarceration of pot smokers, attacks on gay rights, threats to women’s right to choose, the evangelizing of every aspect of our lives, the closing of our media into a tight conservative circle and so on.
While Harper stands above the fray, seemingly our kitten-petting daddy figure, his minions are hard at work dismantling our basic freedoms. For what purpose? It can only be religion. Why else would anyone want to restrict the freedoms of others who are hurting no one? There is no governmental logic to it. There is no benefit to our well-being. It’s purely ideological. Think about it.

Oh, but the Harperites are only doing it for our own good. Like old time Christian missionaries, they only want to save our souls from evil and eternal damnation. Once we see the light we’ll understand.
Harper is a Reformer of the Northern Foundation party. They said, the skinheads assisted Harper to organize his party. This was in 1989. Deb Grey said, Harper is still a practicing Reformer. Harper is certainly a dictator, that’s for sure.
The most important first thing a dictator has to do is, muzzle the media. Then they start grabbing control of absolutely everything. That’s exactly what Hitler did. Herr Harper may appoint a minister of propaganda for himself. Mind you, our media are doing a pretty good job of, being Harper’s propaganda machines.
I think Canadians could ask the U.N. to stop Harper’s fascist dictatorship. What’s the difference, Fascism or the Taliban? One is just as bad as the other. Harper has pissed off many country’s, with his bullying and his hissy fits, when he doesn’t get his own way. They call him a, petty gasbag, arrogant, stubborn, impossible to work with, and he co-operates with no-one. Harper was even, kicked out of the U.N.
