I was once a member of the Stephen Harper fan club, however he lost me years ago with his foul neglect of veterans, clawing back their benefits, closing of offices that serve veterans, and on top of that, Harper has had YEARS to do something about the continually deteriorating Canadian Navy, and he has done NOTHING. Ships are being removed from service due to their inability to sail safely and reliably, they have continued to pour money down a rat hole so far as those former UK lemon submarines are concerned (bought by the Chretien regime for $750 million), pouring even more money into them and their time on station is abysmal.

And truth be told, Harper has been less than candid about the payola deal with former newscaster Mike Duffy who he appointed to the Canadian Senate, who received over $90,000 in cash from Harper’s former chief of staff (Nigel Wright) to compensate Duffy for past residency expenses.

The icing on the cake is Bill C-51 (which could be compared to the unConstitutional ‘Patriot Act’), which undermines the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and gives the Canadian security establishment and law enforcement the right to basically go right up your arse (as they would say) anytime they want to, and in most case without a warrant, all in the name of ‘fighting terrorism’.

I’m not real keen on Trudeau (or Mulcair of the NDP) but Harper has to go.

Harper has in been power about 9 years and people get tired of the same face around for so long.

Its human nature and people want change and even the best of leaders wear out their welcome.

Things don’t sound good. Got choir practice this evening. Hopefully, good news when I finish, but the feeling on my gut is not good.

God is in charge in all things...even Ahab was put in place by God. Trudeau, though bad, does not hold a candle to Ahab...so far...

Fascinating take. Thanks for the background. Didn’t know.

I’m a vet (2PPCLI), all those things you said pale in comparison to what leftists do. You’re either willfully ignorant, or a complete fool brainwashed by the left, or both.

You’re worried about 90k, when Mulcair and Trudeau have already done far worse. They would also allow moslems to run in unfettered. The things I could go on about would fill a novel, and yet you think Harper has to go. You’re a leftist tool.

Who got us through the previous recession?

Harper does many things I don’t agree with, but he’s still 2000% better than the alternative. I hope you stay out east. If this goes badly, it’ll be time for the west to cut loose. Let’s see the east survive without our money.

Don’t kid yourself. Tell me about all the wonderful things Harper has done for veterans ok?

And then address the subject of the slowly sinking Canadian Navy that can’t even defend Canada’s coastal waters?

And defend C-51 while you’re wiping your arse with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Back to you buddy.

I don’t have to defend C-51, I’m not for it. Liberals are however.

How about Liberal support of abortion? Murdering babies ok with you? How about murdering the seniors? You’re so fixated on one thing, you have tunnel vision.

There are only four ridings in the East that are close, the three the Conservatives were projected to take, and one of the three that the NDP was projected to take in 308.com. Looks bad for the CPC but a lot worse for the NDP.

Solidly PROGRESSIVE Conservative, that is.

Just as the world assumes ALL Republicans are conservative, some assume the 'Progressive' in Progressive Conservative is there for a laugh. It ain't.

Aside for 6 months of Ralph Klein admin, all big spending big taxes Progressives have been running the Province.

Your buddy Harper and his conswervatives WERE for it, and they rammed it through the House of Commons despite warnings of it's unconstitutionality from not only the Privacy Commissioner, but from law scholars across the board. The fact is, the NDP was against C-51, Trudeau and the Liberals said that 'changes' should be made to it, but don't evade the fact that it was HARPER who put it into play.

How about Liberal support of abortion? Murdering babies ok with you? How about murdering the seniors? You’re so fixated on one thing, you have tunnel vision.

I'm one of the most anti-abortion FReepers you'll ever run into pal, but tell me what your buddy Harper has done to curtail abortion in Canada? Here's a clue:

“My views on the abortion issue are complex. I don’t fall into any of the…polar extremes”
~ Stephen Harper / January 26th, 2008

In other words, Harper is a weasel on abortion and hasn't done diddly-squat to stop it or even slow it down.

Everything but Fundy Royal and St. john’s East now called in the east, and the Liberals leading in both of these.

C’mon back when you want to talk about Harper’s sinking Canadian Navy ships, we can discuss how to best rearrange the deck chairs, ok?

CHEERZ!

I don’t give two craps about an old crap navy. Do I know some sailors? Yes I do. We have far bigger problems than that right now. You’re wrapped around all the wrong issues.

Again, We’re not on the same page intellectually, so I’ll wait til you manage to remove your blinders and then when you’re ready, come ask me for an education and I’ll enlighten you. Until then, have yourself a good night.

Any nation unable to defend it’s borders or coastline is no nation at all. If you suggest there are ‘greater problems’ then I submit that it is YOU who has blinders on.

Wake-TF up pal. Your nation can’t even defend itself thanks to Harper.

A Liberal minority government.

They hate Trudeau in Quebec and if the EKOS projections are correct, the Liberals are not going to have a decisive win in Ontario to form a majority government.

They still haven’t forgiven his father in French Canada.
