The scandal surrounding the Prime Minister is not about the Senate

Stephen Harper is not fit to be prime minister of Canada.

His performance speaking to the Conservative Party of Canada convention last Friday in Calgary revealed flaws of character, temperament and personality that would disqualify him from occupying a leadership position in any public institution, let alone the highest office in the land.

Dividing the country into "us" and "them," his speech was designed to shore up support from people in the room, not address Canada as a whole.

The Prime Minister denigrated the contribution to Canadian life of public sector workers, academics, the media and the judiciary.

The "faux populist" focus was on agenda items from the Reform Party era, abolishing the long-gun registry, killing the Wheat Board, punishing criminals, protecting victims of crime, reducing the GST, and foregoing support for child care.
