Modeling Journey

For a man who prides himself on being the smartest man in the room, Stephen Harper is behaving in an puzzling manner. We agree that it relatively easy to pull the wool over the eyes of his extreme rightwing element, as he did with the abortion sleight of hand. However, we have news for the new Tories: the voter is pretty smart, and can smell phoniness a mile away.

So don't expect that the voters in Ontario will agree with your nonsensical and amateurish proposal to update the representation of voters in Parliament, by shortchanging Ontario through giving them totally inadequate new MPs, and then expecting them to be satisfied because 'it's a step in the right direction.'

Do you really expect Canadians to swallow your foolishness? Do you really expect us not to notice the badly-disguised contempt with which you view us?

Take climate change. Your new program is total rot, from beginning to end. Worse, it is unusually deceptive, even for a conservative government in this day and age. Do you really think we cannot read between the lines? Do you really think you can do an end-run around us by using a few sound bites and some tacky framing?

Think again, Mr Prime Minister.

Think again, new Tories.

We have your number. Especially your plan to back Bush in his attempt to destroy Kyoto and replace it with mush.

Canadians support the Kyoto Accord.
They do not support Harper's clumsy attempt to subvert it and replace it with hogwash.
