Harper Needs to Go
| 9/23/2008 | Posted by Patti under Canadian Politics |
Well, we’re two weeks into an election campaign here in Canada and so far I’ve not commented. I have some concerns about Dion as a potential Prime Minister, but I have ZERO doubts about the fact that Harper needs to go. As much as I don’t like Layton and his politics, I could live with him as the Official Opposition and Harper reduced to ‘also ran’ but that isn’t going to happen. At this point, it appears that we’ll do good if Harper manages to be kept to a minority government.
Ironically enough, some of my doubts about Dion have been quelled by Harper. See, first and foremost, Harper is a bully. Bullies often instinctively see value in their opponent that they want to flatten, quickly. Harper has been assailing Dion and his character from the moment that he was elected Liberal leader. That indicates to me, along with Dion’s unlikely win, that there is more to Dion than meets the eye. (more…)

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them

Harper Determined to Have Election
| 9/1/2008 | Posted by Patti under Canadian Politics, Harper |
Well, the boy Harper seems to be determined to have an election this fall. The writ could be dropped as early as Friday, according to (of course) unnamed source. Both Duceppe and Layton have had the meeting that Harper requested, supposedly in a last ditch attempt to arrive at some consensus about the fall session of Parliament and to end the ‘dysfunction crisis’ that Harper has manufactured.
Both men left 24 Sussex Drive saying that it is clear to them that Harper wants an election at all costs. Dion, has dropped his insistence that he couldn’t meet with Harper until after September 8th, the date of the by-elections currently underway in four ridings. He is meeting with Harper today, even though he’s fully aware that he’s going through the motions, the boy is determined. (more…)
