An Open Letter to Canada

Great choice. Re-elect steve harper who has ties to the conservative skinhead, white supremacist Neo-Nazi group The Heritage Front. He also was a card carrying founding member of the anti-black pro-apartheid KKK styled organization The Northern Foundation. (even steve can't completely "White" wash the web of his nefarious history). Ask yourself why is it every living ex-Prime Minister speak poorly of steve, his policies and his conservative party. So much so that the Conservative Rt. Honourable Joe Clark felt compelled to write a book about it? The Prominent Canadian Conservative Connie Fournier - Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal winner for her work on free speech in Government 2013 (awarded by harper) Started the anti-conservative website for pissed off Canadian conservatives.

Harper, without a doubt, has lost many of his most dependable people over the past term.

I don't just look at the leaders... I think it's important to look at the team behind them as well.

You can certainly judge harper's cabinet by their education because you can't say they are overly educated. Of steve's Ministers - 1 has a PHD, Alice Wong, 3-MBAs , 11 Law degrees, 3 political degrees, 7 science or engineering degrees, 5 drop-outs including Peter Penashue and Jason Kenny,11 with only high school diplomas. The MP from my riding Ron Cannan was a used car salesman....appropriate!
