The hyper take no prisoners partisanship of the Cons has poisoned our parliamentary democracy. Turned the House of Commons into a pig sty. It's all about destroying your opponents instead of building up the country.<br />I blame all of this on Harper and that's why I can't wait to see him go...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-22696168860936561122009-08-18T20:10:20.750-04:002009-08-18T20:10:20.750-04:00I think that if the world were paying any attentio...I think that if the world were paying any attention to us, then our reputation would take a hit, but no one is really looking. Examples like breaking the election law created by the conservatives to have an election before they are too low in the polls to win. They could see their popularity slipping, so they disrespected the rule of law to serve themselves.<br />Or how about the litany of take it or leave confidence votes? When finally confronted, they shut down parliament to aviod the confidence vote they demanded.<br />Taxing income trusts, immediately after saying they would never do it... it was an election issue...<br />When in opposition, his party was only focused on preventing parliament from functioning... they only disrupted, and were not constructive in any way.<br />Currently, it seems there whole platform is how bad everyone else is. I would not mind to here something positive from a leader, instead of constant put-downs and insults. He and his party are an emarrasment.<br />Harper is a liar and a thug, but like I say, the world is not looking.Burnaby Real Estate Agenthttp://www.jordybrisbin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-6549761467639724162009-07-07T14:11:37.323-04:002009-07-07T14:11:37.323-04:00How is out international reputation tanked?

He may be a Conservative,and as stubborn as a mule, but apart from those glaring faults he's a really decent guy. :)<br />And I'm still hoping that Tories like him will finally realize that they'd be better off without Harper and fire him before he destroys their party AND our country...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-80540518866808200402009-07-07T00:41:51.787-04:002009-07-07T00:41:51.787-04:00Hi Benjamin...and a Happy Canada to you eh?
Being ...Hi Benjamin...and a Happy Canada to you eh?<br />Being a Conservative is bad enough but a monarchist as well? That's just too awful... ;)<br />But I forgive you as I always do. And I'm not trying to convince you not to be a Tory.Just to bring back the old Tory and true Canadian Party and get rid of Stephen Harper.<br />But thanks for the kind words I appreciate them. Although you realize they do prove me right AGAIN. You're far too nice to be a Harper Conservative... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-65877585539055350702009-07-07T00:36:12.137-04:002009-07-07T00:36:12.137-04:00Hi Torontonian...
