Congratulations Bob for as concise and straightforward a rationale of your desire to rid Canada of the harper government(note the lower case) as I have heard. Although there was so much more that could have been added to your list to help sink the fairytale "Bad Ship Harper" your summation was excellent and sufficient. This was not the Conservative party of Brian Mulroney,Joe Clark, Peter Loughheed, Sir John A. Macdonald nor Joseph -Etienne Cartier. All the preceding wanted to and did indeed believe in building this lovely country that we are proud to call home,not tearing our political and economic fabric apart because of some misguided unsupported individual ideology. Unfortunately we had to go through a 10-year period of hell to learn what we did not want but we are at least through that and the shades have been dropped and hopefully Canadian Citizens and not Governments will step up to claim their right and desire to assume their rightful role in the ruling of the still wonderful country of mine and yours and anyone else who loves life and liberty and appreciates the pursuit of happiness as it was designed by our Fathers of Confederation.

Thanks John.... much appreciated. To be honest i thought my political angst ended when the Harper regime was defeated and then they made Rona Ambrose the interim puppet master.
Sadly she is nothing more than an anti-democratic barking seal for Harper. Her statement that she would use the majority Senate to defeat any electoral changes is a good example of just how unashamed the CPC is about how they are trying to destroy the upper chamber and their claim of being the "chamber of second sober thought".
Granted they are not the first government to stack the Senate, in the past the Liberal majority Senate reviewed Progressive Conservative bills, made changes and sent them back to the house much to the frustration of the PC government of the day.
While that is the "chamber of sober second thoughts" intent it was still partisan politics but not dictatorial as has happened under Harper.
