My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. Jack Layton

Harper Is Canada. Canada Is Harper?
The transformation of Stephen Harper into a downmarket Pierre Trudeau is now complete. This is shaping up as Harper's "The Land is Strong" election.
I am not willing to go that far, although if that is all Harper has to offer, it may be closer than one would suspect at the moment. I find it fascinating that the same people who hated Trudeau for his arrogance, love Harper (who shares with Trudeau a disdain for those disagree with his "brilliance"); while those who loved Trudeau, hate Harper as a usurper (even though Trudeau was the very definition of a usurper). Since I never voted for either gentleman (I hated Trudeau as a sellout and you know how I feel about Psycho Steve), I think they are mirror images of each other.
Ah, you see it too?
ReplyDeleteSo you think that Ignatieff may come within a couple seats of knocking Harper off?
