Dear Editor:
Both Patrick Keogh and Ziggy Eckardt make it sound as if it’s a given that Stephen Harper’s Reformers are going to be in a position to approve anything after the 2015 election.
I was a supporter of the Conservative brand my whole adult life, but at age 67, and after what our self-appointed dictator (Stephen Harper) has done to Canada and to Canadians in general since 2011, I don’t feel I can support the Conservatives ever again, and I’m sure I am not alone, since poll after poll suggests the same thing.
Canadians, including myself, made the biggest mistake in the history of Canada by turning Canada over to a corporately owned shill who could care less about Canadians and Canadian workers.
Harper was elected to his faux-majority with only 39.6 per cent of the total votes cast in the last election, and this is where our electoral system in badly broken, that it would allow that to happen.
If Canadians are dumb enough to vote Conservatove (Reform) in the next election, we can kiss what is left of Canada goodbye, because he will sell off what is left to foreign entities because of Stephen Harper, and his corporate agenda.
My thinking is that if the Conservatives are re-elected, and I hope they are not, it will not be with a majority, and at that point Harper will exit, since he will no longer have the ability to dictate, and that will kill his narcissistic personality. (“What, the people don’t love me?”)
Tell you what, I have never in my life ever voted Liberal federally, but in the next federal election, I am voting for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. Why? Simply because they are not Stephen Harper or any of his sleazy trained seals, who sit up and nod yes, whenever they are told to do so.
The only Conservative that had the gumption to say no to Harper was Brent Rathgerber, and I admire him for standing up to this self appointed dictator.
When the Tea Party Republicans are praising Harper & Company, we should all be very worried.
Remember, Stephen Harper does not care about individual Canadians, because he is far too busy satisfying the transnational corporations who own him.
Wayne McQueen, Burnaby
