Harper starting to show true colours

Stack the courts? Go ahead, Mr. Harper, just like your buddies to the south in the Bush administration. Make sure your malevolent influence continues to poison the discourse long after your own minority administration is consigned to the rubbish bin of history.

Also, a very nice attack on Navdeep Bains, the Liberal MP whose father-in-law may, or may not, have been questioned concerning the Air India bombing twenty-two years ago. What was it all about? We don't know, but Harper is going to throw as much mud (I'm being polite) as he can, just like caged and enraged gorillas in a zoo.

Whatever political hay Conservative spin-doctors are trying to make of a recent poll about Harper's government, they show that he really hasn't made any significant gains in the polls. Within the margin of error, he's pretty much where he before.

The only place he achieved a majority was in the question of whether he had a strong vision for the country. He does, but it's one that two-thirds of the country doesn't share.
