How can you trust a man who wishes to shrink Canada?
We saw vintage Harper in action this week with his naked attack on culture. Give Harper his due: he showed us exactly what kind of things he will do for four years if he wins a majority government in a few weeks time.
He will shrink the federal government of Canada by cutting, cutting, and cutting two things: the funds inflow (by reducing taxes or handing federal funds over to the premiers), and by reducing programs which unite this diverse country.
Harper has not changed his views since he wrote the firewall letter to the Alberta premier. He still believes that the central government is a bad thing, and that there is no need for a strong federal government with strong federal programs.
His view of the country is that of a village politician: small, timid, and mean.
He will reduce the stature of the government by any means he can. And in so doing he will diminish Canada.
How can you trust a man with such a view?
