Pollster Allan Gregg, now spending much of his time offering critiques of the Harper regime and its dangerous demagogic inclinations, has written a followup to his talk “1984 in 2012: The Assault on Reason.”
Writing in today's Star, he discusses public reaction to his speech, which essentially went viral, and offers some thoughts on where we can go from here in channeling our dissatisfaction with the dangerous anti-intellectual approach to government embraced by Harper and his acolytes.
I encourage anyone who wants better for this country to spend a few minutes with his ideas.
Gregg's criticisms of the Harper government have been spot on, Lorne. There was a time when he was the head pollster for Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives.
ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder if he knows what the Harperites are like behind closed doors.
I sincerely hope that Gregg's insights have an impact on the national dialogue, Owen. His is a voice that sorely needs to be heard.
