Oh, sure, I'll vote against Harper, and even now I'd consider the NDP the lesser of the three evils, but the establishment has them pretty well whipped. We are not going to get out from under without a big, vigorous grassroots movement--of which I unfortunately see no sign.Purple library guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930984683714519212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-19551003302678345152013-12-28T23:35:12.474-08:002013-12-28T23:35:12.474-08:00"Harper is 95% state and 5% country"--To..."Harper is 95% state and 5% country"--To my mind it's worse than that. Harper is about 75% state, 75% private interests directly inimical to the wellbeing of the country, leaving about NEGATIVE 50% for country.Purple library guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930984683714519212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-44503123422016656332013-12-28T12:50:26.382-08:002013-12-28T12:50:26.382-08:00I can't imagine I left that out, Richard.

So long as politicians talk "growth" as their primary goal they are working against the people in service to the banking sector and global elite.<br /><br />No matter how nice they appear, or how good looking they are.
