And although I have my flaws, like a bad temper, I have always tried to live up to those values. And the problem I see is that all this grubbiness isn't just the fault of the government, it's the fault of all those Canadians who let them get away with it, or shrug their shoulders and say they're all the same. We need Canadians of all political persuasions to at least agree on something: when it comes to grubby stuff enough is ENOUGH...

I see bugger all when it comes to leadership, integrity and honesty with the government. Rather, I see a lot of selfishness, disception, dishonesty and dare I say ass-hattery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-2440533174848995502013-05-23T23:41:25.611-04:002013-05-23T23:41:25.611-04:00hi anonymous 12:54...yes, he is a control freak an...hi anonymous 12:54...yes, he is a control freak and I haven't the slightest doubt he was fully aware of what was done. And since he has proved himself to be a liar again and again, I'm sorry but I can't believe ANYTHING he says. As far as I'm concerned, quite apart from his hideous policies, Harper is morally unfit to be a Canadian Prime Minister. Period...

And of course for the benefit of them, and the small capitalist elite that actually does run the world for its narrow interests. Funnily enough Preston Manning was the first to recognize, or at least write, that Harper seemed to think he owned the truth. But he thought it was a minor character flaw, and others didn't connect it with Strauss, and the doctrine of perpetual deception. And now we're all paying for it in spades...<br /> <br /> Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-531228372018053672013-05-23T23:25:15.001-04:002013-05-23T23:25:15.001-04:00hi salamander...you're quite right, in the mor...hi salamander...you're quite right, in the moral world we should be asking what Harper is doing in Peru, pandering to our appalling mining companies who are disgracing us all over the world. And I almost did include a good story by Tom Walkom that looked at that angle, and at the Harperite's vicious anti-union agenda. But as usual my post was too long, and I left it out. However, I could still use since he hasn't left South America yet !!! ;)<br />And as much as I would like to leave Duffy and his ilk behind, we will not get to that moral world until we defeat this ghastly regime, and Duffy is the best 500-lb bomb or deadly buffoon we have been able to drop on the Cons in quite a while. He absolutely destroys their claim to be accountable and transparent, in a way that even the dumbest Canadians can understand. And we must use what the Great Polar Bear God of the Great White North mercifully provides us with to fight our enemies. ;) However, I look forward to the day when we have finally defeated them, so I can raise my sights higher, focus on all the things we need to do if we are going to survive, and above all escape the moral squalor they are forcing us to live in. For it offends me more than just about anything else....

Even Scientists were not permitted to publish their papers. Those papers too, had to go through Harper first.<br /><br />I am grateful to Justin, for filing his request. Harper is so corrupt, controlling and vindictive to anyone opposing him, I doubt anything will come of Justin's request. He is dealing with Harper who has, no morals nor ethics, what-so-ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-56954481036558775812013-05-23T07:58:14.575-04:002013-05-23T07:58:14.575-04:00Harper is a follower of the Leo Strauss school of ...Harper is a follower of the Leo Strauss school of political philosophy. His followers were neo conservatives, Christian fundamentalists and militarists. Strauss taught at Chicago U like Flanagan. The belief is that '-perpetual deception of the citizen by those in power is critical because they need to be lead and they need strong rules to tell them what's good.' What a handy philosophy for an ego centric narcissist. Allows him to lie as much as he wants.
