First of all I agree with the post above that Harper, as the leader of a minority government, did not have much room to veer from a mid course. And given the Golb and Nail’s assessment of him as a right-wing ideologue that may have been just as well.

It is my belief that with the current acute economic debacle and a looming environmental crisis we are in need of someone who comes accross as more than just a competent manager.

Finally, our country is one which doesn’t generally feature much in international headlines, we are a steady, moderate society. That’s why it was particularly shameful to read in recent years how much of the rest of the world derided Canada for it’s role in scuppering various global environmental initiatives.

We have to give someone else a chance to lead the country.

the only reason he hasn’t taken canada into a dangerous direction is because he doesn’t have a majority. His bid for a war in iraq failed Hit attempt at criminalizing the small possession of a single pot plant failed, his bill to oust vitamins and natural remedies failed. I guess the globe forgot to mention that.

at least they admit their shortcomings in endorsing harper.
