For one thing the Anglophones will never vote for them. And even a lot of sovereignists won't have anything to do with them.

Stand on guard for our democratic way<br />Lloyd Atkins | Posted: Saturday, February 28, 2015 12:15 am<br /><br />Since Stephen Harper became prime minister, hundreds of First Nations, Inuit or Métis women and girls have been murdered or gone missing. Thousands of other Canadians have died due to work-related accidents.<br />Did Harper take a leadership role in understanding the needs of Indigenous people? Did he ram legislation through Parliament to strengthen occupational safety standards?<br />Of course, not. These kinds of issues are not high on his priority list.<br />Harper prefers to play games. Hidden behind the political smoke of his undeclared war on jihadist terrorism and his confrontational posturing on Ukraine, you will discover the prime minister's top priority: himself.<br />He is obsessed with maintaining control over Canada. When Harper was a little boy, his favourite game must have been “(I’m the) King of the Castle.” For reasons obvious to most, he probably played the game alone.<br />Canadians should prepare themselves mentally for a murderous terrorist attack. Such an event will be horrific, garner non-stop media coverage and give the fanatical followers of ISIS/ISIL additional publicity.<br />Some politicians are certain to use such a calamity to tighten their grip on power. Harper’s government, well-known for its secrecy and deception, has a re-election agenda based on spin doctoring the truth.<br />Be vigilant.<br />Stand on guard for Canada’s democracy.<br /><br />Lloyd Atkins, VernonDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630890163958807048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-81904348875583269892015-02-28T04:02:32.354-05:002015-02-28T04:02:32.354-05:00I agree and this 'veiled appeal to racism'...I agree and this 'veiled appeal to racism' is another Canadian Disgrace! <br /><br />As for the Bloc, consider this scenario...........they win All Federal seats in Quebec!
