When the fascists are finally out they will be chomping at the bit to get more attention from voters and the media. I have an acute sensation that Karma is catching up with this particular set of rogues. Even the media (to whom they all all three of the electoral victories) have turned on them and provided they don't stage a coup they will eventually be out on their ears and then we will see them everywhere screaming and pontificating, trying to get more attention and back to their old complaints that it is all a liberal media conspiracy.Kirbycairohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528654183160305877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682160518082145513.post-50746360365106440932015-06-13T12:20:46.195-04:002015-06-13T12:20:46.195-04:00Pamela, Lorne, Indeed real conversation and debate...Pamela, Lorne, Indeed real conversation and debate are the last thing they want, witness the "debates" and the restrictions of them in the House and in Committee!<br /><br />Mound, LOL He certainly seems have kept pretty close to it in the past!

This constant avoidance of transparency reveals a behind the closed door governance. Canadians are starting to ask what is Harper and his cronies hiding? The answer is a lot! In fact almost everything they do. I agree, I don't think hiding from public debate is going to work this time. This is another way of Harper giving the finger to the majority of Canadians.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842215982128591742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682160518082145513.post-31725153204730042882015-06-13T10:13:04.748-04:002015-06-13T10:13:04.748-04:00I dont think that hiding from public debate is goi...I dont think that hiding from public debate is going to work this time, Owen!Ruralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814103548500393628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682160518082145513.post-58345885951215381042015-06-13T09:55:28.973-04:002015-06-13T09:55:28.973-04:00Heading for the closet, Rural.
