It seems there’s still enough Canadians pondering a vote for Stephen Harper on May 2nd to give us another minority Conservative government. I do wonder where these folks have been over the last five years as Mr. Harper has steadily eroded our proud democratic traditions. Here’s George Stroumbolopoulos back in 2007 talking about Harper’s attitude towards the media, and the need for him to control them and their “pesky” questions:

Still not convinced Harper is unfit to govern (except perhaps in North Korea)? Check out this article about the “Harper Portrait Gallery” in the government lobby in the House of Commons:
“When you walk in the door, all you see are pictures of Stephen Harper…”
“I’d say between every window, in every available space of the wall, at eye level, every available space has a photo of Stephen Harper.”
“You’ve got photos of Stephen Harper, but not of previous prime ministers,” she added. “Photos of Stephen Harper in different costumes, in different settings, dressed as a fireman, in Hudson Bay looking for polar bears, meeting the Dalai Lama, even the portrait of the Queen had to have Stephen Harper, but in a candid, behind her.”
