In spite of a looming recession, the use of tax dollars to
bribe Canadians to vote Conservative (a bribe many families will have to pay
back via taxes after election)
In spite of recession Conservatives ensure that Canadian
taxpayers will pay tens of millions extra due to lengthy election campaign
Currency in free fall
Didn’t see 2008 or 2015 recessions coming – denied their
existence
Prime Minister opposes Senate but appointed 59 Senators
Prime Minister refuses to take responsibility for the
appointments he has made
‘1984’-like use of Foreign Affairs to remind people, via
quotas, about the threat of terrorism
Prime Minister is anti-drug and tough-on-crime – except when
it comes to pal Rob Ford
Contempt of Parliament
Disdain of Elections Canada
Disdain of Provincial Governments
Scorn for citizens of Alberta and Ontario (not respecting
their recent electoral choices)
Trivializing electoral fraud
Appointment of Mike Duffy
Appointment of Pamela Wallin
Appointment of Patrick Brazeau
Appointment of Don Meredith
Opposition to omnibus bills – except Conservative omnibus bills
Proroguing Parliament
Dean Del Mastro – parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister
Nigel Wright – chief of staff to Prime Minister
Tom Flanagan (see writings on Aboriginal issues) – Harper
campaign manager
Tom Lawson – Chief of the Defence Staff
Claims to love democracy but secretive Saudi Arabia arms
deal
Claims to love democracy but embracing and expanding trade
with China
Always pro military except when it comes to veterans and serving
women
Always pro family – although a very specific configuration
of family – home owners with children… or better yet sports-playing children.
Generally oblivious regarding Aboriginal issues (Stephen Harper: “These
milestones remind us of a proud national story rooted in the great deeds of our
ancestors and in a centuries-old constitutional legacy of freedom.”)
Overt contempt for media, scientific information, statistical
data and legal rulings that do not conform to Conservative ideology
Against long gun registry and long-form census but otherwise
very much in favor of government surveillance
