Do you think some of this fear is a result of the Harper messaging, or does its genesis lie elsewhere?Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-27900954316638768102015-06-14T14:23:13.290-04:002015-06-14T14:23:13.290-04:00Lorne, your post sums up the current situation ver...Lorne, your post sums up the current situation very well. It is sad and unfortunate situation. Opposition leaders don't provide any promising alternative.

Ironic, perhaps, that Oliver, who is now blind, can see so clearly the true nature of our vicious and vote pandering PM while other allegedly clear-sighted are able only to perceive the illusions he propagates?Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-62116433070049552462015-06-14T12:09:21.094-04:002015-06-14T12:09:21.094-04:00.. the latest from PM Harper is a short curt audie..... the latest from PM Harper is a short curt audience with the Pope, a concience driven sit down strike from hack Minister Valcourt re Reconciliation - as if he had the courage to do so on his own ..<br /><br />And the grand finale of Harper/Kenney diverting one of our few functional ships, to tour away from what they said was critical ops in the Baltic Sea so they could preen & pimp for pics & mutter dark concerns that Russian frigates tracked & turned to their 'trajectory' ..
