Harper is a poster child for corporate malfeasance and corporate power, just sort of dismantling everything that’s good about Canada. So he’s the kind of species that rises to political power and is utterly subservient to corporate interests at the expense of the citizenry.

Yeah, he’s a pretty venal figure.

As this involves not only racism, bigotry and jealousy based largely on rampant ignorance, it has all the necessary ingredients to be a winner for the Chief Executive Officer from the Land of the Big Smoke.

Colby Cosh (Mcleans) and John Iveson (Nazional Post) were all in all afternoon.

Only if you’re illiterate or willfully ignorant could you write anything so fucking stupid. The demands are all out there. It’s WHOSE fault if Christie Fucking Blatchford doesn’t bother to look them up and READ them?
