Harper is a bully & dictator but once people start laughing at him the game is over. There is nothing worse for a politician than to be laughed at.<br /><br />Attacking the arts is the way of all dictators. They want the "arts" to represent their view of the world. I can hardly wait for stevie slime to start changing our school text books they way they do in the u.s.a.<br /><br />I do truly hope people remember what giving a dictator/power hungry individual a majority government can do.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-61874400685351865752012-07-21T03:18:01.896-04:002012-07-21T03:18:01.896-04:00Yes sir...

Because goodness knows these are dark times, and despair will get us nowhere. I also mock the Cons as a way of showing my contempt for them and everything they believe in. And of course to show them that I can't be intimidated. For what else are we supposed to do when faced with the absolute worst government in Canadian history?<br />Except let them know what we think of them, and laugh in their faces...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-83045525360930001512012-07-20T21:02:05.345-04:002012-07-20T21:02:05.345-04:00I worked at Canadian Heritage when the defunct Ref...I worked at Canadian Heritage when the defunct Reform Party was the official opposition. They HATED the arts, especially anything that made one question our societal views on love (especially LGBT expressions of love), religion and politics. The Harper Regime still carries this same hateful view. They put a business man in charge of the Canadian Council of the Arts, gutted what was best of the CBC, attacked individual artists directly (Franke) or indirectly (Healy), and re-focused government support for propaganda purposes like promoting the War of 1812.<br /><br />The arts are struggling and those still getting government support are self-censoring by and large. When is the last time you saw controversial art?Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-56539146896312496892012-07-20T20:56:50.369-04:002012-07-20T20:56:50.369-04:00hi anonymous...the way I see it one Franke James i...hi anonymous...the way I see it one Franke James is worth at least a thousand Cons.

Dictators have identical personalities. Their paranoia and their obsessive need to control. Number one for dictators to grab control of, is the media. Then they grab control of, everything they can get their dirty hands on.<br /><br />Even other country's can't tolerate Harper. They are fed up with Harper's bullying and, his hissy fits when he doesn't get his own way. Harper has the gall to dictate to them too. Europe told Harper to go to hell. Harper had given Europe, false statements regarding, the toxicity of the dirty tar sands oil. Europe doesn't trust Harper, what-so-ever.<br /><br />It was another P.M. that saved our Canadian bacon, and most of the world knows that. They have nothing other than contempt for Harper. He started out with a, $13 billion dollar surplus. Harper has managed to drown this country into, the deepest debt ever known in Canada.<br /><br />Harper's security bill, was a whopping $47 million. We can expect that bill to go sky high. The more people that despise Harper, the higher his security bill goes. Harper is actually in prison. He will have to watch his back, for the rest of his life.<br /><br />It doesn't matter where I go, grocery stores, doctors office, or the pharmacy...Everyone hates Harper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-37284057365534343292012-07-20T04:48:06.690-04:002012-07-20T04:48:06.690-04:00You make me laugh Simon in a good way...
