Gosh. There seems to be some pushback from regular readers at the very suggestion that Stephen Harper has the authoritarian tendencies made infamous by Il Duce and his early supporter F. T.

Oh, for the love of God ... Blogging Tory Sandy Crux is back, with a fresh supply of adult diapers and her eye-rolling, hacktacular list of " Harper Government Accomplishments ." Unsurprisingly, said accomplishments leave her regular commenters swooning in slack-jawed, mouth-breathing admiration, despite them being as hideously dishonest as ever. Like this one: (#65.)

I really liked this article from the Ottawa Citizen. We have abandoned or rewritten our history. The grits have decided that only foreign traditions are good. trudeau's attempts to destroy the ROC , while exalting Quebec, seem to be working.
