Harper's Writers

[August1991]

Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Stephen Harper swung into campaign mode Friday morning. Capitalizing on outrage rekindled by the release of the sponsorship report, he unveiled his party's "Accountability Act."

"When I become prime minister I will undertake an unprecedented overhaul of the federal government," he said. "That is my commitment to you."CTV

Harper should say:

"When I become prime minister, I will change our government. My father was an honest man and for me, I must be honest to my father."

Harper, this great man of principle, is now proposing to pass into law precisely what he mounted a court challenge against while president of the NCC. Much like Harper's thoughts on the privatization of health care changed when he became leader of the Conservatives. My only question is, was he lying then or is he lying now?

Trudeau,

If it gets him elected, at this point, he agrees.

Are you seriously suggesting that he is motivated by the same goals as that dastardly Liberal party?!

IMT, is this the Leftist response? Harper is dishonest?

The Canadian (English and French) Left is living about 30 years behind the rest of the world. Stephen Harper must contend with Jack Layton and the NDP because some rich Canadians still live in the 1960s.

Since this is an English forum, I won't speak of le Québec lucide and French Canada.

Harper is progressive; but Layton is retro - so sixties. Layton is so vieux bonhomme.

Well, more or less. I don't think that he has principles beyond what happens to be useful for him at the time. Not quite the radical change in governmental style that Mr. Harper likes to pretend, is it?

Well, lets see. Harper's economic beliefs are circa 1900, his social beliefs..oh I dunno... circa 1450, to be generous. In what way is this man "progressive?"

That is exactly what I would say about anyone in politics...they are desired by their political futures (Martin, Harper, Layton, Duceppe, etc.) and by their future reputations (Chretien, etc.)

He is? In what way? Did he mount a court challenge as leader of the NCC to keep someone from cleaning up the government?

I think he was talking about specific things Harper advocating like banning corporate donations and restricting the rights of lobbying groups.

That certainly does not sound like something that the president of a right-wing lobbying group would advocate.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah funny that. Imagine a leader of a lobbying group fighting against restricting the rights of lobbying groups?

See if ignorant jacka** Liberals call that lying they are overplaying their hands.

The Canadian people aren't as foolish as y'all think. Time for Martin to pay the price for Adscam, your feeble attempts to change the subject will not be successful.

I fully support those initiatives by Harper. It certainly would reinvigorate the political process and enable citizens to get more involved and appreciate democracy.

Martin (even in his Sunday funnies radio show) still wants everyone to wait until Gomery II comes out before he will do anything to correct the corruption. Instead of grabbing the whole issue and coming up with changes now, he dithers once again. Possibly hoping he can get away with doing as little as possible after Gomery II.

The perfect picture last week was the picture of Martin at the post Gomery press conference, flanked by his two top ministers, one a former Tory and the other a former Separatist. That pretty well said it all about Martin and the Liberal party.

That pretty much sums it up right there.

I do find it interesting how Belinda was there. Shouldn't Adscam be one of her files?

She was drinking tea and eating brownies with Shiela at 24 Sussex Drive.
