The Ghastly Hypocrisy of the Shameless Stephen Harper

Stephen Harper has so many monstrous human flaws, I think my fingers would fall off before I finished typing all of them.

But one of the worst is his ghastly hypocrisy.

For he is the leader who promised transparency when he came to power only to turn his filthy regime into the most secretive government ever. The leader who promised to clean up government only to turn it into a pig sty.

The one who talks about "freedom" all the time while passing Bill C-51 that would turn us into a police state.

And this banquet last night is only the latest example. 

Prime Minister Stephen Harper may have made Canadian history Monday night, inviting Muslim leaders to 24 Sussex to break the Ramadan fast.

For while if we had a better government, and a more decent and truly Canadian Prime Minister, it would have been an excellent gesture.

But in this evil Harperland, with a brutish Con regime, and a Prime Minister like Stephen Harper, it couldn't be more hypocritical... 



The Conservative government’s relationship with the Muslim community has been tense, with major flare-ups over issues such as a new bill banning face veils during citizenship ceremonies. 

Harper has also been criticized for focusing more on radical elements within Islam than on reaching out to mainstream Muslims in the aftermath of terrorist attacks linked to radicalization.

Considering how Harper and his bully boys have whipped up hatred against Canadian Muslims, to try to create yet another wedge issue, for crass political purposes. 

Jason Kenney is also a hypocrite for having also stirred up bigotry to appeal to the Con's rabid religious base. As he did in his latest idiot Twitter eruption which had to be seen to be believed.

And Tim Uppal, the Con minister with the blue turban that covers his head, and the bushy beard that covers his face, is also a hypocrite.

For having introduced the anti-niqab bill, and when criticized by Justin Trudeau having the nerve to call Trudeau's comments "offensive and outrageous." 



Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government “used” Sikh cabinet minister Tim Uppal to try to drive a wedge between Canadians of different ethnic groups, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau charged Monday. 

Uppal quickly shot back Monday, however, saying Trudeau’s comments were “outrageous and offensive.”

When in fact Trudeau was absolutely right.

“It is part of the divisive attacks that work around the politics of fear to try to win a few points by raising concerns that people have. I find that it is completely irresponsible for a government to bet on fear but we have seen very well that is what they do — that is what they do with their attacks on different communities and their political adversaries, whether it is MPs or it is scientists and researchers.”

And it's Uppal's actions and comments that are outrageous and offensive. 

For he must surely remember how Sikhs in this country had to fight bigotry for the right to wear their religious garb as police officers...



Or the more recent struggle when the Quebec Soccer Federation banned Sikh kids from playing that game...



For no good reason. 

So Uppal should have known better than initiate an attack on another religious group for what a tiny minority wear on the heads, and for the worst possible reasons.

But then as I've said so many times before, the political depravity of Stephen Harper corrupts everything he touches.

And as this latest video from Operation Maple shows, he has always been a ghastly hypocrite, or Harpercrite...



One day, in a better country, with a more decent government, we will have a Prime Minister who stands up for the human rights of all Canadians. 

And truly celebrates the diversity that makes this country stronger and more beautiful.

Until then all we can do is work as hard as possible to defeat the hideous Con regime.

Before its morally corrupt leader puts on his monstrous garb again, and destroys what's left of this country and its values...
