I agree that what Harper is doing is wrong. But I am afraid that he will get enough votes to keep doing it. What I don't understand is why Canadians are allowing this to happen. The Reform Party evolved from the manufactured gripe of Western Alienation, the current Conservatives are the result of that movement. I believe that the West, particularly Alberta sees the Liberals as an "Eastern" party rather than as a national one and the Liberals must remind people what is at stake here..Canada as a social democracy is disappearing and Canadians seem reluctant to do anything about it. Why is that ?
