Meaning of a Canadian Conservative election victory

Harper’s Conservative minority government wants to destroy opposition party funding while imposing rising gas and food prices by stimulating the dollar and selling off natural resources. They are committing to buy unaffordable fighter jets without competitive bids to appease America’s need for more firepower. Add right wing ideology disgruntling 65% of voting Canadians by decreasing corporate tax levels and continuing to fight a losing war in Afghanistan. With France, Ireland, Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt citizenry openly defying the police and army guns Canadians could face the same scenario to depose dictatorial edicts including possibly the right to object through media coverage and editorial commentary. The Supreme Court already influenced by partisan Conservative appointments recently struck down to some degree the right of the media to protect sources.

Clearly libelous attack ads against the integrity of the main opposition leader, supposedly only taking erroneous quotes out of context, are another worrisome happening changing protection of the masses from overt government power. Hopefully and upcoming Federal election will keep the Conservatives from assuming power and turning democratic Canada into a third world type dictatorship. It would even be an improvement if Harper fails to win his majority and the opposition parties formed the dreaded left coalition. Change is happening everywhere and change will come to Canada’s Federal political scene.

Canada is experiencing the same right wing ideology that Ontario experienced and suffered from after Mike Harris and the Conservatives decimated the province using many of the same ideological theories with the same destructive political gang led by Flaherty, Baird and others in the Harper cabinet control . The power of the vote unless compromised by the people seeking fully unopposed power can stop the onslaught and keep Canada from becoming the next nation with international media tracking crowds on the street opposing police and the military. If Canadians think the same scenario cannot happen here just recall the G20 fiasco last summer when Harper’s party implemented the jailing of 1000 citizens without cause (or charges) for demonstrating? Harper and his government proved beyond any doubt that ordering the police and military to control Canadians opposed to the party’s rule and right wing philosophy would happen.

When parliament opens on Monday January 24th the stage will be set. The Conservatives will again attempt to take power. Watch closely as the majority Conservatives try gain a majority. It could be the last election for a long time in Canada. Remember Harper used prorogation to retain power. He will do even more if given the opportunity to change Canada while exploiting our strengths as a nation.
