A Challenge To Stephen Harper

Harper is using the old "If you knew what I know" routine in his defense of his $75 million dollar price tag for the F-35 fighters. Well Mr. Harper, produce your evidence. Show us the letter you say you have, from the U.S. government guaranteeing Canada a fixed price of $75 million, a price not available even to the U.S. government. If you will not show us proof of what you are saying and given the mountain of contrary evidence available, no one is going to buy your story.

I doubt Mr. Harper will ever release the document, because I don't believe it exists. If pressed, he will drop the pretense and pick up his favorite human shields, the men and women of our armed forces. Harper is a lying sack of shit.

Shorter Harper

What we did in 2004 was not a coalition. It was an agreement to cooperate on an ongoing basis with socialists and separatists. Now you have known me long enough now to know that when I say "cooperate", I mean "Do what I want". So, the socialists and separatists were, in effect, agreeing to make me a majority Prime Minister without endangering the economy with an unnecessary election. Check and Mate. Now if you excuse me, mommy says I can go play with my dollies.

Vain Hope Watch

Gilles Duceppe had plenty to say about Harper and coalitions. It turns out coalition talks, in 2004, between Harper, Layton and Duceppe ended with the signing of a joint letter to the Governor General, asking to be given a chance to form a government, something that Harper now says is illegitimate. As Duceppe says:

"He (Harper) finished second in that election," Duceppe said in French. "If he says that's undemocratic, well, that's exactly what he was asking for. So let's not play games with history. He has to take responsibility."

Good luck getting Harper to take responsibility for this or for anything else. That is not his thing. His thing is to lie and smear. It is the way he operates.
