After listing some of the many objections to C-51 from countless experts and the citizenry at large, Sen. Cowan remarks:
** Colleagues, not long after the letter from the four prime ministers appeared, I asked the Leader of the Government in the Senate if he could provide a list of similarly eminent Canadians who support the bill. His reply: Stephen Harper.
Colleagues, that answer spoke volumes. This... is where we are as a nation, after almost 10 years of self-styled Harper government. All of the voices of all of the Canadians you can line up, from former prime ministers through Supreme Court justices through professors and business leaders down to people in the street, are rejected, ignored, dismissed out of hand. The only voice that matters is that of one man, Stephen Harper.

There is no attempt to gain social licence on this or any other national issue. Colleagues, that is not leadership. **
STEPHEN HARPER
AFTER NINE YEARS IN OFFICE
HE IS STILL NOT READY TO LEAD
