Can Stephen Harper Buy Your Conscience?

Stephen Harper offers so much to so few - tax cuts, increased Tax-Free Savings Accounts, income-splitting, to name but a few of his 'gifts.' His disingenuous rhetoric notwithstanding, however, Harper is really offering all kinds of bribes inducements for you to think only of yourself, and to ignore the niggling voice within telling you that all is not well.

This video offers a sharp reminder of the larger reality within which so many people must live. You probably know some of them.

Canadians Working Longer for Less Pay

How many times in the last year have you wondered... "What if it happens to me? What if I lose my job?" Who could blame you? More and more Canadians are barely hanging on.

  1. To Harper, bribing us with our own money is a key to dismantling our social cohesiveness which, in turn, weakens our democracy and clears the way for illiberal democracy and the ascendancy of oligarchy.

    1. I guess the question become, Mound, whether or not we as Canadians have the collective character to resist such a sterile vision.

  2. Listening to Harpers rhetoric about Canada's stable economy and the CONs successful job creation in the context of watching this video which illustrates what the truth is, we could build a case for suing Harper and some of his CONs for libel. His complete disregard, while giving the finger to the majority of Canadians, of what many Canadians are suffering as shown in your video is nothing short of callous indifference. Only Canadians can take their country back and start rebuilding our democracy. This is a very dangerous man! Thanks for posting this video. Do you have any idea when the CBC made it?

    1. The future is ultimately in our hands, isn't it, Pamela? I think the documentary was made fairly recently, as it was just posted via Operation Maple.
