See this is the hyperbole I was talking about. What you're saying is ridiculous. Human rights, really? Come on... The Liberal party and the Conservative party are both quite moderate.

I've noticed a lot of Canadians (especially supporters of the NDP) say things such as 'Harper is a fascist', 'Harper should resign', 'Harper wants to destroy our schools', 'Harper is just like Bush', 'Harper wants to take away our freedoms', etc. When I hear this, I'm reminded of all the stupid Americans that think Obama is the worst president in history. It's just asinine. Harper is a fairly moderate fellow, as is the Conservative party. Ignatieff is a fairly moderate fellow as well, as is the Liberal party. One sits centre-right, the other sits centre-left. Some Canadians are acting as if Harper is some sort of right-wing populist like the Republicans south of the border. Harper and Obama aren't very different ideologically. Can everyone just chill out please?

Corporations seem to run the US the days. The US hasn't looked much like a democratic republic in the last few decades. It looks more like a plutocratic government. Whats your opinion?
