Left-wingers unite! I was thrilled to discover this site, <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.stephenharpersaid.ca">www.stephenharpersaid.ca</a><!-- w --> , on a Liberal website. It's chock full of reasons to fear and distrust the man in question (if those creepy eyes don't do it for ya!).
But all levity and humour at another's expense aside, I am glad to see the Liberal party was not afraid to wade into muddy waters. The staunchest, most old-world an d old-school party we have is showing some signs of being able to bite back! I thought the party - which by process of elimination is the only federal party I can vote for - was a little too stagnant and toothless, but this website shows they've got a nice left hook than can surprise in the late rounds. I figured something like this would come from some random third-party citizens' group, and I even thought the Grits might deliberately push it through a more subtle conduit to "mask" their involvement, but they're not afraid to come out swinging. And in good journalistic fashion, they even have links to every single quote in its original context!
As the election, and therefore electoral defeat, grows closer for Harper, he'll be appearing more and more in the public eye trying to backtrack over his ludicrous comments. Maybe he'll even accidentally say something honest in a while that can be added to the site!
Just a smattering of the pearls of wisdom Mr. Harper, a known racist and homophobe and "gun nut" and big business ally and financially suicidal tax cutter has treated us to:
"In Atlantic Canada...it's only through government favours that there's going to be economic progress"
"Canada appears content to become a second-tier socialistic country....to mask its second-rate status." [socialism - straight from the gates of hell, eh!]
