Hiding from the truth

Conservatives will never move forward until they face up to their past

- Michael Harris -

"I believe Stephen Harper had a lot of big accomplishments. It’s just that all of them involved taking a chainsaw to the country he inherited from Martin and Mulroney.

The reason Harper was dumped like yesterday’s fish was not “fatigue” or “tactical” mistakes made during the 77-day campaign he inflicted on the country. It was because alarmed Canadians realized that this soft-spoken political iconoclast was deconstructing their country. Harper was Canada’s Paul Wolfowitz, despite the blue sweater and Beatle songs.
Consider the evidence."

Stephen Harper is confounding the ring wisdom of the great Joe Louis: It turns out you can both run and hide.

Since running for and winning his seat in the 2015 election, Harper has vanished. The absence in the House of Commons of the MP for Las Vegas/Ft. Myers is beginning to pique the curiosity of people on social media.

“Too many eggs in one basket, eh? What ever happened to Harper anyway?” asked one poster.

Can’t be looking for a job in the oilpatch, answered another: “No jobs in the oil patch”.

So if he’s not in the boardrooms of Calgary, or the Commons, where can we expect him to land? Writing under the handle ‘Dr. Mike’, another wag quipped: “Mississauga Canada Post sorting station maybe????”

And this from just plain ‘Joey’: “I hope he is not a financial advisor.”
