Role Models??

Harper seems to be modeling himself on Bush.

Why?

Was Nixon second on his list?

Dubya-ism stands for secrecy, torture, less rights for women, no consideration for the poor whatsoever….well you all know….

His visit to Afghanistan was a good move as we do need to be reminded when we send troops into a war that they are there and we do want to maybe have some idea of why we have sent them there (oh my: quite the run-on sentence). Yeah, he “photo-opted” it but that’s what politicians do.

Mulroney was voted the best PM we have ever had regarding the environment and he was awarded for that this week (I wonder how many SUV limos were parked outside).
That speaks volumes to me as how poor our leaders have been on this subject.

Once upon a time when I was young, the Murkans had a nice guy for president named Jimmuh, who, perhaps even a little ahead of his time for a world leader, started several programs to develop alternative energies to fossil fuels, and programs to conserve energy. Then he lost his job to a Hollywood actor, “Country Gentleman” as John Mellancamp called him, and that actor cancelled every one of those programs.

Harper has just done the same thing. Global warming is not hippie science any more it’s slapping us in the face.

See, the environment is just not one of his priorities. That’s like Pat Quinn saying goaltending just isn’t one of his priorities.

One wonders how good a PM you are going to be when you model yourself after an idiot and people wish Mulroney was still in power.
