Harper must go and the sooner the better

Stephen Harper's completely inept bunch of pinheads needs to be shown the door and the sooner the better for all Canadians.

For years people have assumed Harper was bright - rigid and red-necked and to the right of Ghengis Khan but still reasonably bright. On the evidence he is not. No one can be called bright who tolerates ministers who are not on top of their brief. Check MacKay admits 6 Afghan abuse allegations exist. And no can be called bright who pursues policies and practices that work against our country's best interest as he has done as Tim Harpur so clearly states in The Tories' cone of silence. Then there is his own ineptness and a begrudging Change Of Tune as noted in the Ottawa Notebook blurb Change of Tune.

It's time to put Harpoon out to pasture. Stephan Dion, with all his faults, is country miles ahead of Harpoon and would clearly be a better leader - as he's already proven in the cabinet portfolios he has held. Dion was the guy who drafted the clarity bill, got it through Parliament and did so without dropping the ball, and the end result was Canada now has legislation that has taken considerable uncertainty out of the debate around what would happen if Quebec votes to leave Canada. On that one issue alone he has shown more competence, ability, determination and leadership than Harpoon has shown in the interminable 2 years he's been in power.

In the old days, when you had a wounded buffalo thrashing and moaning and clearly beyond help, pioneers did the kind thing and put it out of its misery. Time we did the same for this pathetic resemblance of a government.

Always good to read some fiction and fantasy writings out of Toronto. You guys do it the best! I really liked the part where you said Dion would be a better leader than Harper. That part was a real mind-bender in light of the latest leadership polls which have Harper at 37% and Dion at 12-13%. Anyway, keep up the good work. Good fiction is hard to come by these days.

As usual, an Anonymouse has shown us the way! Heck, why not follow polls on everything which seems to be what his hypocritical Harpor is doing... If its not passed through a focus group, given some private (but publically paid for) polling, it ain't worth doing. Then after the next poll shows it was bad policy (ie. limiting media/public access to return of dead soldiers, income tax flip-flop, environment twist 'n turn, dance around signed agreements/accords etc etc) pull out either the six-gun to look tuf, point to the opposition and say 'Look, he's no leader!" or just change your mind and lie about your original intention. Heck, Harpor shown to be so untrustworthy, he's got people of his own stripes -- i guess Williams, McDonald and Casey are no leaders either -- really angry. Don't call a first ministers' meeting, instead, operate from the safety of your magical cloak, with your dresser/psychic providing the lookout. Maybe you'll get that hockey book written in time for the next election and that sure will boost the next poll numbers!
Anonymouses, you've got to love their zany sense of logic!
