You're not taking "Steve" Harper's side, are you Phil?

Naahh! It's just that I've seen enough
federal/provincial petty arguments
to last me a lifetime or two!
It's not like the guy personaly found a way
to put his province's finances suddenly in the black ...
Kindergarden stuff if you ask me!

Depending on the topic, there's much that I might disagree with Danny Williams on – in matters of style and substance, btw. Nothing petty about it, though, when it comes to the disagreement with Harper over the Atlantic Accord. You won't find a Newfoundlander of any political stripe who has a fundamental disagreement with the stance that Williams has taken on that one – Conservatives included, outside of Harper's cabinet (perhaps). Come the next federal election, the Cons are going to be wiped out there.

Knew this crap had a certain constituency south of the border, but did you ever think you’d see the day when it took hold seriously in this country? The Canadian NixonDimitry Anastakis and Jeet Heer April 24, 2008 9:00 PM Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper is in trouble with Elections Canada, the government body that runs the vote in Canada. They've accused him of overspending in the last election and have even gotten the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to raid the Conservative party's headquarters to find incriminating evidence. In response Harper and his followers have lashed out against Elections Canada, accusing it of a partisan witch hunt. The whole sorry situation shouldn't surprise anyone who has paid attention. Every prime minister has a modus operandi. Harper's is his utter contempt, shown not once but many times, for Canadian institutions. In fact, it is not a stretch to say that Harper simply sees many Canadian institutions - Elections Canada being simply his latest target - as illegitimate, not just in need of reform but worth attacking root-and-branch. tinyurl.com/6ab3vj

Raaahhhh! This is simply way too funny ... NOT! From the 2008 May Report of the Auditor General of Canada Chapter 7—Detention and Removal of Individuals—Canada Border Services Agency Exhibit 7.1— The complexity of the detentions and removals process can present challenges [wish I could put it here ...]  www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/aud_ch_oag_200805_07_e_30703.html#ex1scroll down the page ... Note: This exhibit presents a simplified version of the detentions and removals process, primarily from the perspective of the Canada Border Services Agency. It is not intended to portray every eventuality. Only civil servants can come up with stupid processes like that!! |
