Stephen Harper and the Big Lie

Uh oh. Duck and cover.This could be embarrassing eh? Great Cowboy Leader is bragging about our economy again.Telling the WHOLE WORLD that they should be like Harperland !!!!!!

“Under our conservative government, Canada will not slip back the way so many other developed countries are slipping back,” he said. “To succeed what the world must become in the future is what Canada is today.”

OMG. Can you believe that eh? The man must be either completely deranged, or totally shameless. Because they must be laughing at him all the way to Norway. Which BTW is doing MUCH better than Canada.

But then Stephen Harper is just trying to fool Canadians into believing he's a "real economist." Instead of a grubby right-wing ideologue who is only interested in killing government. Even though his dismal record speaks for itself.

He had nothing to do with the stability of our banks. He inherited a massive surplus and turned it into a massive deficit. He used the stimulus dough to buy votes, instead of creating new green industries. 

He's putting all our economic eggs into the oil and commodities barrel, leaving us dangerously vulnerable to a recession. He's allowing the Dutch Disease to kill good jobs all over Canada. And selling us off to foreign interests like the Chinese Communist Party, and the uber-right wing Koch brothers.

Despite all his gaseous emissions, the unemployment picture is much gloomier than he would have us believe.

And even as he slashes spending, steals pensions, and kills jobs in the name of austerity, him and his Con gang are out there spending money like drunken sailors  hogs.

No matter that this government is cutting $5-billion from government spending. No matter that programs are being cut or reduced throughout government. No matter that out of one side of their mouths Harper ministers proclaim the virtues of frugality, because from the other come announcements, followed by more announcements, of more spending.

So why does Stephen Harper keep proclaiming that he's a good money manager or a "real economist?" Answer: because he knows that if you repeat a Big Lie enough times, you can fool dumb Canadians into thinking it's true.

Like Benito Mussolini was able to fool a lot of people into thinking he made the trains run on time...

Even though that was also fascist bullshit.

Like almost all the supposed achievements of Fascism, the timely trains are a myth, nurtured and propagated by a leader with a journalist's flair for symbolism, verbal trickery and illusion.

And that's the model Stephen Harper wants the WHOLE  WORLD to follow?

OMG. Please world don't listen to him.  The next time he tells you he's a "real economist" tell him what I do. No you're not you grubby Con FRAUD.

Canada's not back, we're going BACKWARDS.

And then get the hell out of there eh?



Before he steals your wallet .... or your pension.

And as for Canadians they should remember this:

The day we destroy Stephen Harper's phony reputation as a good money manager, the day we make people laugh at him. Will be the day we save ourselves.

And the day we destroy the Cons...
