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

Stability For Whom
Stephen Harper is asking for a stable, majority government but, how stable will the country be if he keeps picking fights with Quebec?
The Globe is reporting that he's promising to cut the per-vote subsidy because he's "tired" of elections. It's remarkable how effective the cons have been in persuading Canadians that elections are nothing but an inconvenience--like taxes.
It's a co-signing of a loan for a can't-miss hydro project.
Hardly the stuff revolutions are made of. And Hydro-Quebec needs a good kicking, anyway -- yes, Newfoundland signed a bad deal with them. But they're jerks to hold them to it.
Just because you _can_ do a thing, it doesn't mean you should.

ReplyDeleteIf he is as tired as he says, perhaps he should retire.
