Stephen Harper and Chuckles the Clown

During the course of my short blogging career I have portrayed Great Nice Nasty Pretty Ugly Leader as all kinds of people and monsters, to try to keep up with his rapidly changing multiple personalities.

But I've never had the pleasure of portraying him as Chuckles the Clown.

However, that may change eh? Because this is so true.

There’s a little of Chuckles the Clown in Stephen Harper’s public preparation for next month’s G8/G20 summits. Chuckles, an elusive TV character on the Mary Tyler Moore show in the ’70s, explained his success and philosophy as; “A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants.”

In the absence of a coherent foreign policy, the Prime Minister is improvising. The result is not esthetically pleasing.

Yes,there are lies, damn lies and statistics. But its as demonstrably certain that access to safe abortions is an essential part of any effective international strategy as it is that the Prime Minister is using the twin summits to play domestic politics.

Playing politics with the lives of poor people. Making Canadians look like criminals.

And to think it all started like this...

















Just another desperate attempt to make Stephen Harper look like a nice guy.

Gawd. When will those Con primpers give up ? When will they realize you can't put lipstick on a  pig nun?

Oh well. James Travers did forget to mention one thing. The sad end of  Chuckles the Clown.  

He went to the circus parade dressed as a peanut, and was shelled by a rogue elephant.

And this is Harper's pachyderm.

Despite the odds in favour of the most right-wing and reactionary government in living memory retaining its hold on power in a federal election likely in less than a year, it appears to be business as usual for progressive Canadians and the parties they support.

The challenge now is for Liberals and New Democrats to seed the soil for coalition. We need an honest dialogue about the lay of the land, the likelihood of no party winning a majority, and the need to balance partisan interests for the good of the country.

The coalition elephant in his room that keeps him awake at night. The one thing he fears the most, because he knows it could reduce him to the size of a peanut. And drive his Cons from power FOREVER.

Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are fear-mongering again over the spectre of a deal between separatists, socialists and Liberals, declaring that the “coalition risk has returned to Canada.”

Yup. The Cons are running scared. The time to unite is NOW. Because these Cons klowns are turning our country into a fascist circus.

And time is running out...
