The Harper Cons and the Country I Don't Recognize

On a beautiful early fall day like this one it's hard to believe that bad things can happen in Canada.

But when I see what the Cons are doing to our country, trying to turn us into a prison state, or leading us to financial disaster in the name of their foul ideology.

When I see how they're trying to kill the CBC.

Demanding it be more transparent, when Tony Clement refuses to answer any questions about this stinky scandal.

When I see how these bloodthirsty Cons are bombing a city full of children.

When the NATO mandate was to protect civilians.

I know that very bad things can happen, and nothing bothers me more than hearing people say relax Simon, this is Canada, and it can't happen here.

So I'm really glad to see that I am not alone.

There are so many things wrong with our national picture these days, from empty swagger to lost compassion to a tragically eroded sense of international diplomacy, that it is no longer even recognizable. It is a picture that now looks not only mean, but stupid.

The tragedy here is that a good country is being steadily turned into a bad joke. And that is nuttiness at its most disturbing.

Because it is crazy and it is EVIL.

Oh yeah. They can say it can't happen here.

But I have a recurring nightmare.

And it is HORRIBLE...



Oh boy. Sometimes words fail me.

But you know what I'm saying eh?

My Canada is beautiful.

And I want it BACK...
