In politics, it’s really easy to slip into hyperbole, no matter which side of the political spectrum you’re on – “George W. Bush was the WORST President of all-time!”, “Obama has RUINED the United States forever!”
The next federal Canadian election is (tentatively) scheduled for October 19, 2014, exactly one year from today.
And when you’re talking about Stephen Harper, the reality is that for around 70% of the population, that day can’t come soon enough. It’s also not hyperbole to say that there’s no other Prime Minister in Canadian history who’s caused more damage to Canada’s democracy, our environment, our traditional social values and our international reputation.
Here’s just one list of 25 of his absolute worst offences you really should read, *especially* if you think Harper’s an okay guy. (Go ahead – it’s a quick read.)
I’m sure I’ll be posting about politics with increasing frequency as the next election approaches but for now, I hope you’ll just consider that list as you begin to think about who you’ll be voting for one year from today.
