    They don't all use those words but yeah, I think that the vast majority of independent people who follow this sort of thing are either saying it or hinting it. Did you see the open letter signed by almost 600 academics who called him out for it? And I think that Harper's race-baiting tactics is an issue. And a big one.
  2. ReeferMadness
    Who can keep up with Harper's disgusting behavior? They could hire someone full time to report on it.

    Now Harper is interfering with the legal system and inciting fear of the mentally ill. Isn't it funny how the Conservatives, who refuse to comment, when their own are in front of the courts don't have a problem with it when it's to their political advantage. Just another example of Harper's disgusting behavior.

    It must be depressing when almost all of the independent, smart people say that your guy is a race-baiting scum. I can see why you find it easier to push your head further into the sand than think for yourself.

    So Harper hopes that the IRI will have the same kind of success in Ukraine that they had in Iraq. Oh, my gawd.

    Canada had one - Harper dismantled it because it wasn't partisan enough for him. That's why he had to look south of the border.
  7. ReeferMadness
    They're giving it to nakedly partisan organizations. Do you think an organization that happens to contain nothing but NDPers is non-partisan just because because they put those words on their website? Think a little.
  8. ReeferMadness
    No, it's not OK Why is our government giving money to foreign organizations - aren't Canadians capable of promoting democracy?

    Giller winning author Joseph Boyden calls out Harper for US-style politics.
  10. ReeferMadness
    Go ABC!!
  11. ReeferMadness
    Sure. It's a non-partisan organization that "just happens" to be made up of Republicans.
  12. ReeferMadness
    The Harper thing is giving money to American "non partisan" organizations because he clearly doesn't know squat about democracy.
  13. ReeferMadness
    And the IRI trained the people who overthrew him. You have a point?
  14. ReeferMadness
    So, the US has two institutions promoting democracy, one comprised only of Republicans and one comprised only of Democrats. And both are "non-partisan". And our sick-puppy government wades into this soap opera by giving our money to each. What a gong show. Let's run these guys out of town.

    I think that throughout history, there are lots of examples where an unscrupulous leader has been able to whip up prejudicial sentiment against a minority. I think that this is the disgusting behavior that Harper is now displaying. And I think that the Harper apologists who think they are being clever by hiding Harper's disgusting behavior behind public opinion or the actions of other jurisdictions are complicit.

    You haven't answered the question. Would you be OK with sending money to French socialists, as long as they promised to spend it on Ukrainian democracy?
  17. ReeferMadness
    That makes it better? Why is my government outsourcing this to Washington? Maybe they think nobody in Canada understands democracy - because they certainly don't We had our own International Centre for Rights and Democracy until Harper shut it down.
  18. ReeferMadness
    How many times on how many threads do I have to respond to Harper apologists who defend his disgusting behavior by pointing to someone else? Is that your view of leadership? Trudeau and Mulcair (both from Quebec) didn't hide behind Quebec or France or Muslim dictatorships. They took a principled position in favor of reasonable individual rights. Harper pandered to Islamophobes. It's pretty simple.
  19. ReeferMadness
    Some information about the IRI from the New York Times. a revolving door for lobbyists and out-of-power Republicans. Nice.
  20. ReeferMadness
    A little odd? It looks like Harper is funneling money to his Republican buddies. You can bet that their version of "democracy" isn't exactly what the same as most Canadians. Don't forget that it was a Republican administration that imposed its version of free market economics on Iraq when it "liberated" the country.
  21. ReeferMadness
    And yet, somehow, the money went to Washington Republicans. Would you be OK if the money were given to say, French Socialists, as long as it was earmarked for Ukrainian democracy?
  22. ReeferMadness
    Why don't you just tell me what point it is you're trying to make.
  23. ReeferMadness
    I'm responding to suggestions that the government gave $8 million to try to get the pipeline approved. That sounds like bribery to me if that's what happened. If we wanted to help the Ukraine, Canada must have ways of doing so that don't involve giving millions to Washington Republicans.
  24. ReeferMadness
    And bribery is our official policy? Where are the opposition parties on this?
  25. ReeferMadness
    Create what? niqabs? Islamophobia? Racism? No. He didn't create any of those things. He just used them and that is beneath contempt.
