Just about another hour and the polls close. Harpers fascist reign will be over. And it not soon enough. Take a look at the damage he's done to Canada in just a few short years.
He turned a peace keeping mission in Afganistian into a bloody occupations and a military disaster for Canada. The biggest mistake he made was not listening common sense and letting his megalomaniac ego take over. He started a war with of all people the Taliban. Remember, this is the bunch that beat the crap out of the Russian Army, kicked the British Army out and survived the onslaught of the US Air Force, the most powerful and advance nation in the world.
Jack Layton (soon to be Prime Minister Layton
) was well aware of the situation and recommended opening a dialog with the Taliban. Taking and working out a comprimise to share power would have been a lot less bloody.
Of course he uses the excuse that his war is a war on terror and he is "protecting" Canadian. But remember, up until we start the war, the Taliban were never a threat to any Canadian. An even if they were a threat to Canada, what Harper from a military stand point was completely stupid. We are sending troops to into the Taliban's own teritory where they know the lay of the land and have the military advantage. If the Taliban really were a threat, we are better of having our troops at home defending our own teritory where we have the advantage.
Harper also screwed up the economy royally. Take a look the the shear number of unemployed people. And instead of taxing the rich and corporations to help with the poor and unemployed, the idiot give them a tax break. He even cut the GST which created a massive deficit. He even has the nerve to call his policy a success. How the fuck does this idiot define success, by the number of people he made homeless.
