Stephen Harper and the Torture Cons

He says he likes to see fear in the eyes of others. But why is Stephen Harper so afraid of the truth, and what dark secret is he hiding?

Tonight the CBC National is reporting allegations the Con government made the torture of Afghan detainees a deliberate policy. Which would make Harper and his political thugs WAR CRIMINALS.

"If these documents were released [in full], what they will show is that Canada partnered deliberately with the torturers in Afghanistan for the interrogation of detainees."

Which would explain why he shutdown Parliament. And make this stalling tactic even more outrageous. Because no retired judge has the power to tell Parliament what it can or cannot read.

Oh boy. It's hard to believe something so horrible could happen in Canada. But if it turned out to be true, would we really be surprised? When these hideous alien Cons have assaulted our precious Canadian values from the moment they came to office.

They attacked women by removing the word "equality" and destroying a national daycare program. They savaged their opponents like a pack of rabid animals. Nothing was too low for these hateful ideologues.

They went after feminist groups, and human rights organizations. They bullied poor Rémy Beauregard to death.












Never, ever, ever, forget how those bastard bullies treated that gentle, decent man.

Or forget that only foul Cons could appoint a xenophobe and a homophobe to head a human rights organization.

Or how those crazy religious fanatics are going after gay and lesbian Canadians. Again.

Notably absent from an otherwise commendable document, however, was any reference to gay rights or equality rights.

These are important omissions, particularly at a time when many immigrants are arriving from parts of the world where homosexuality is illegal and where discrimination is widely practised. New Canadians need to understand that while they may not immediately share Canada's sense of justice, the law protects certain groups from open prejudice.

Even though they have a right to be treated with dignity and respect in their own country. Even though it could hurt them or cost them their lives.

Even though that kind of crazy bigotry could cost me mine.

In the last few days, after writing about the theocon conspiracy, I have been bombarded with ugly comments, and creepy veiled threats. Now some weirdo has been wandering around my neighbourhood asking people if they know where I live. And this evening when I took my dog for a walk in the woods nearby, I had the strange feeling I was being stalked.

Hey maybe I'm paranoid. And who could blame me eh? Living in Stephen Harper's Con Canada, the kind of place where paranoia can become a higher state of consciousness...as one grand old mama feminist once told me. And don't worry I am not afraid. I can defend myself. And when Sébastien gets home on Sunday, I'll feel totally safe again.

But all I ask brothers and sisters is that you fight these hideous hatemongering Cons like you've NEVER fought them before. Because the evil is now very close to the surface, and it's bubbling out like acid....and corroding our beautiful country.

Organize, UNITE, fight them until these monstrous Cons are driven from power and we have our Canada back.

Fight them, fight them, fight them, like I have always tried my best to do.

And because I'm not afraid of them. And because it's Friday night.

And because I love R.E.M.

Fight them, fight them, fight them, until the day is done...



Or until the Cons are done eh?

Oh mama. Won't THAT be a beautiful day?

Have a great weekend everybody !!!!
