Cardigans on Martin, Harping on Harper, and Poppies. Also found on the Calgary Herald website.In a recent poll taken, more than 94 per cent of those surveyed agreed that Stephen Harper would be a frightening choice for Stampede Queen. In another poll taken, more than 87 per cent believe that Paul Martin would look good in a cashmere cardigan (the kind that Mr. Rogers would be seen wearing). In yet another poll, 100 per cent said they were tired of our country not being governed the way it was promised to be run in last election. Surprising results. What would be even more surprising is if that were an actual poll and people actually voted like that. I think one thing that we can all agree on, though, is how tired we are of the way our country is being run. Not a day goes by when the Conservatives and the Liberals aren't on our TVs talking trash about each other. It's on the Internet, in magazines and newspapers and radio shows. It is pretty much the only thing that Canadians have news on as, of late. And, for me, it's getting a little tiring. While listening to Rex Murphy on CBC radio on Sunday afternoon, one thing became clear. Canadians are just tired of what is going on. We want to get back to our lives when we only heard about the government when he went on international trips to Italy to check out a pizza joint. We are tired of the broken promises, and the money taken from us and put to God-knows-what, the lack of priority Canadians have been given on the agenda and the obvious lack of appropriate choices for our leader of this country. The rest of the world must be laughing at us right now. Heck, I'm laughing at us. But what tops the cake for me is Harper's latest scare tactics. I am completely shocked at his lack of respect for the veterans. By threatening to hold a snap vote while cabinet ministers are in the Netherlands to respect our vets at the 60th Anniversary of the liberation of Holland, shows nothing but disrespect. Actually, what it shows is a bully; a bully who doesn't care about anything but himself and what are in his best intentions. Pending election or not, show respect, Mr. Harper, and quit being political for a moment. Honour the vets. Your lack of respect is almost an act that would be comparable to not wearing a poppy on Remembrance Day. Posted by Bella at 11:08 PM# 2 Comments: Harper's going to the ceremony in Holland. It's all over the news. Matter fo fact, so is Layton, Duceppe and Mr. Dithers. By Well at the time this was written - that wasn't the case. By
