In the Netherlands, they have enough left-leaning representation to tax the rich more and fund infrastructure. It's well documented that the Bush administration cut levy funding and emergency preparedness pre-Katrina, and if given the chance, Harper would copy the Neo-Con policy of his hero Bush. Profits, increased military funding, tax cuts for the rich and corporate tax cuts before people's LIVES. Harper wanted to head (head over heels) into Iraq with Bush, wants to supress media access, wants to have Christian Conservatives determine tax break opportunities for artists, is now copying the draconian and persecutive American DEA drug war, is allowing Canadian standards to drop to the US standard for pesticides, and is gladly allowing Canadians to sub in for the mainly vacated American military Afghan role. Throw in privatization tendencies, and a smug disregard for transparency, and you have Stephen Harper : Bush-Bot. There is NO Bush policy which Harper opposes. A vote for Harper was/is a vote for BUSH. Harper was likely smug and calm down in New orleans, thinking, "Gov't isn't good at saving people's lives/homes/hopes/dreams, and it SHOULDN'T be". That's Neo-Con defeatism. And it destroys people's lives.

http://c-26.oldsock.com/ They call Vancouver Vansterdam no more. We thought Canada was tolerant, but The Liberals and Conservatives teamed up to put 1000's of Canadian pot users in jail. I guess they want Canada to be the 51st state. Only the NDP, BQ and Green Party are voicing opposition to the USA style clampdown on Cannabis.

http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/5171.html Only the NDP voted against it. This isn't just clamping down on selling crystal meth to kids, it's harsh Republican-style mandatory minimums for ANY pot production/consumption/possession/distribution. The right-wing Liberals and Ultra-Right-Wing CONS have brought Bushian Fascism to Canada. Pot is non-lethal and less addictive than other drugs. Alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceuticals kill 1000's of people every year, and induce severe withdrawal symptoms, yet THEY are the drugs the hypocritical FASCIST Libs & Cons want to be legal. If you are a Liberal or Conservative pot user, you should switch to the NDP or Greens. If you are an NDP or Green supporter, please pass the information around on other forums to show Canadians what right-wing governance has done.
