I finally escaped 2 years ago and moved to BC where I now live under the #Chrustyrainbow. When Alberta voted in the NDP I kind of felt cheated and thought the people finally woke up but the Federal results proved me wrong. At least the riding I was from gave Uppal the boot. Hopefully, I haven't heard the recount results yet. So there are some good people there , let's get them out and put up that wall. Or maybe a dome..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891060752252707027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-61507113410729415102015-10-29T19:22:24.051-04:002015-10-29T19:22:24.051-04:00You can't do what Stephen Harper and those who...You can't do what Stephen Harper and those who supported him did for long and still have any real empathy and compassion for others. For people like this display is the most important thing, they value power above all and the creation of the illusion of their perfection.<br /><br />In my opinion Harper supporters want to enshrine their leader because of this. Harper clearly didn't give a damn about anyone but himself and those who fed into his sense of personal grandeur, his record isn't going to useful in the slightest to build his legacy and that of the sick political movement he led.<br /><br />Which leaves him with constructing more fake patheons to his greatness. All to fool the gullible in the coming years to think that the Harper years actually meant something beyond greed and hatred held by the privileged few towards the many.<br /><br />This is all part of trying to rebuild the kind of conservative paradise that most of us associate with hell.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309752267368098228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-12043807266539855402015-10-29T16:52:20.713-04:002015-10-29T16:52:20.713-04:00This just smacks of a very sad attempt to salvage ...This just smacks of a very sad attempt to salvage any shred of integrity for this now-former government. Man, it feels nice to be able to say that. Anyhow, its all completely ridiculous as I can't think of a situation where something was named after a politician immediately after they left public office this country. These things only happen (if they do indeed happen) after a much longer passage of time once that person's accomplishments/contributions have been fully assessed/appreciated. I'm stunned the idiot that proposed this isn't aware of this.
