I used to have a horrible dream of Harper doing the same to Charlie, or having him turned into a pair of ear muffs for himself or Laureen. And all I can hope is that in the chaos of the Con Gotterdammerung, Charlie was able to make a break for it, and escape to a better place... ;) Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-28227126675748406222016-08-31T06:44:30.848-04:002016-08-31T06:44:30.848-04:00hi jrk...thanks for your brilliant comment that di...hi jrk...thanks for your brilliant comment that dissects Dumbo's absurd column like a skilled surgeon, and exposes him as clown and a fraud. But at least we know that by writing that op-ed piece he is clearly trying to raise his profile so he can declare himself a candidate for the Con leadership. so at least we have been warned, and prepare to give him the reception he deserves...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-7519515718054429902016-08-31T06:40:45.196-04:002016-08-31T06:40:45.196-04:00hi Steve...yes can you believe it Dumbo is back?

But as I pointed out in my post, it's only mediocrity that still makes him a contender. As for Pierre Trudeau, he did blaze a brave trail. But let's not forget that my hero Dr Norman Bethune, was the one who opened up China to Canada, and is still more popular with the Chinese than any other Canadian...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-32868917646457408842016-08-30T21:58:33.832-04:002016-08-30T21:58:33.832-04:00"He has a soft spot for animals, something he..."He has a soft spot for animals, something he shared with his wife and daughter."<br /><br />And Hitler was fond of dogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-25440876296381492792016-08-30T13:02:06.283-04:002016-08-30T13:02:06.283-04:00Harper was never one to seek the limelight
True ...<i>Harper was never one to seek the limelight</i> <br /><br />True he was very shy, not even wanting to go to meetings with the premiers. And he never told the civil service to change from using the term “Canadian Government” to “Harper Government”.<br /><br />There never was 24/7 video feed of Harper doing important things like riding a skidoo.<br /><br /><i>Notable was his stewardship through the recession that allowed Canada to emerge better placed than any other G7 country.</i> <br /><br />This actually means he inherited a surplus from the Liberals and had not had time to deregulate the banks like the Americans had before the crash came.<br /><br /><i>and boosted our Armed Forces budget to record levels.</i> <br /><br />Which means he inherited the Afghan fiasco from Chretien and had to stump up some cash. Besides we know he never saw a war he didn't like. Thank heavens he was not PM when the gong-show idiots George W and Tony invaded Iraq.<br /><br />I remember that just after our troops withdrew from Afghanistan there were reports that the military were so cash-strapped that they could not afford fuel to carry out exercises. <br /><br /><i>I also recognized his deep affection and appreciation for our Canadian Forces, veterans and their families.</i> <br /><br />And the military and veterans are still enduring the “Harper” government's failure to provide sufficient mental health resources.jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-40864140165783836522016-08-30T09:51:31.736-04:002016-08-30T09:51:31.736-04:00Airshow will be forever remembered for saying the ...Airshow will be forever remembered for saying the one engine of the F35 will never fail as he sat in a cardboard mockup that cost the taxpayer hundreds of thousands for a sales photo op.
