I read the most disheartening article in the Globe and Mail the other day about how Stephen Harper is the new John Howard. I’m terrified that this horrible man, who looks to be the next Prime Minister of Canada, will change Canada from a socialist and egalitarian society towards a bigoted, self-serving, environment-munching society like the US is and how Australia is becoming. At a time when many people round the globe admire Canada for its tolerance, many, what I can only describe as absolute ass-heads, are thinking of voting for the conservatives in the upcoming Canadian election because of the machinations of the former spin-doctor for Howard. He plays on people’s fears and greed, and obviously weak-willed people must be blind to how they are being manipulated.

I take heart in hope that what makes Canada such a great place is in the very nature of its people. Canadians created Medicare, Green Peace, Chocolate bars, bras and BC bud. They’re without a doubt the most honestly polite people in the world. I’m sure they withstand Harper; I only wonder how long it will take to undo the damage he will do.
