Harper and Leadership

Harper is running his campaign on leadership. We have seen 2 ½ years of his leadership. He has controlled the direction of Canada based on advice from very few elected elite Conservative members and a number of unelected advisers in and outside the PMO.

The main part of the CPC have little or no input and little or no output other than a controlled Harper script. It would seem that Harper can't trust the majority of his party with his agenda. How much do they even know the workings of the PMO except for what he dictates?

--”Harper said he always held "strong opinions about how the government should be run."

"I enjoy running government. It's sometimes stressful but I enjoy making decisions. That's the essence of it for me. It's not the celebrity thing which, when this is all over, I assure you I will not miss for one minute," he said.”

What really can we make of his agenda so far as he appears to exhibit a smug confidence despite the unease of mainstream Canadians?

As for the rank and file of the CPC they should be embarrassed or ashamed to represent their constituency. It is also an insult to their constituency and all Canadians that this is allowed to happen. Besides, the CPC constituency comprises a minority of Canadians.

Harper is ruthless, deceiving, brutal and sadistic and operates just short of the principle, “the ends justify the means” and courting power at any cost to reform Canada to a country that was brought together in Confederation to prevent our assimilation by the US after the American Civil War. It has always been the intention even long before American Independence to govern all Continental North America.

Mulroney violated Canada's confederation and allowed America to penetrate our sovereignty while singing “When Irish Eyes are Smiling”. This was furthered by Chretien and Martin. Harper is accelerating the original Liberal SPP with the US with the pedal to the floorboards in the most inconspicuous way possible by quietly legislating as much as he possibly can and rarely surfacing intentions in the public view only when called out.

For all Harper's efforts he still can't shake the suspicion of a “hidden agenda”. A Harper majority will at best put the suspicion to rest and at worst dissolve Canada and be assimilated 'lock, stock and barrel' by the US.

What we can see from the pattern of his leadership is that he is aligning himself with American far-right and Corporate interests at the astonishment and disappointment of the rest of the world.
