Shots out of the West: How It's Done

"Canada appears content to become a second-tier socialistic country" (Harper)

Meet the real Stephen Harper -- Passionate, flexible -- maybe even impulsive? It's time to rethink our view of the Conservative leader May 05, 2005, John Geddes

Harper has often spoken about how the damage the NEP did to Alberta's oil-patch economy, the lost jobs and ruined businesses, turned him into a political animal. . . . As an economist and a methodical platform architect, he was pegged as a smart, if rather dry, up-and-comer. But this pat assessment missed the passion behind what pulled him into politics -- how much he despised Trudeau.

That negative inspiration has stayed with him. Shortly after Trudeau's death in 2000, Harper wrote revealingly of his feelings toward the dominant political figure of his youth. He recalled running into the former prime minister by chance on the streets of Montreal in 1999. "There I came face to face with a living legend, someone who had provoked in me both the loves and hatreds of my political passion, all in the form of a tired out, little, old man," Harper wrote in a newspaper column that stood out from the flood of Trudeau tributes. "It was an experience at once unforgettable, nostalgic and haunting." He went on to denounce that old man's legacy in the bitterest terms. Not only did he rebuke Trudeau's policy mix of "centralism, socialism and bilingualism," he even indicted him for failing to serve in the Second World War or oppose the Soviet Union. "In those battles," Harper wrote, "the ones that truly defined his century, Mr. Trudeau took a pass."

[. . . . ] Among the zingers: Liberals put a higher priority on getting foreign strippers into Canada than immigrant MBAs and MDs; the Liberals' child care plan would end up making daycare so expensive young couples couldn't afford to have kids; Liberals spent money on new executive jets for cabinet ministers instead of upgrading Canadian Forces equipment.

Comments on Harper as leader Posted by: ET | May 20, 2005 12:58 PM in the Shotgun

In my view, there was nothing, absolutely nothing, that Harper could have done. What he did - he did perfectly.

[. . . . ] Stronach left, because she's a puppet; she's run by her father and his gang, which is connected to the PowerCorp/Desmarais gang. They first wanted her to win the CPC because they don't want Harper to win. Harper is NOT corruptible. Martin is already one of theirs - BUT, he's fragile and if an election were held, he might well lose it. This gang would then have Harper in power - and that would mean that all doors would close for and on them, in Ottawa.

They moved Belinda over to prevent Harper's House vote win. Belinda didn't leave because of policy issues. She hasn't a stable thought on policy or anything else in her head; she has, herself, no thoughts, no policy, no integrity, no knowledge. Have you ever heard her answer a question? She left because she was moved, by those in charge of her - and that's how she's lived her whole life - moved by others. She was moved to ensure that Martin would have the numbers for the vote. AND, because she will play a larger role in the Liberal Party. She's corruptible, she's run by the PowerCorp bloc, and they have no intention of having the Liberals lose to the people of Canada.

Over the next few months, they will bad mouth Harper; they will do everything they can to present him as 'failed', as 'anti-feminist', as whatever. They will sideline the Gomery Inquiry, either via Chretien/Gagliano or just by time. . .and the fact that Gomery will be more and more restricted in his powers. Remember, Gomery cannot 'find fault'; this is not a criminal trial; it merely describes. Martin and The Gang will present the description of the Gomery Report as pertaining to a few 'rogue elements'.

Watch it happen. And watch how they vilify Harper and the CPC.

Harper has often spoken about how the damage the NEP [Trudeau's National Energy Program] did to Alberta's oil-patch economy, the lost jobs and ruined businesses, turned him into a political animal.

[. . . . ] Harper didn't shut down the commons for trivial reasons. There was a vote of non-confidence, and the Liberals refused to accept it as such. That in itself is mindboggling. But, still, Canadians and the MSM have done nothing. Their gov't was hijacked - and they have done nothing.

Think about what is occurring; does this not have resonance? Watch the MSM vilification begin. Note also which companies and from where get the underground riches in Alberta and the North. What are their networks? Research who benefits from "initiatives", agencies, foundations, and all the myriad ways the Centre / the oligarchy win again.
