If you read this blog enough you know that my buddy Toronto Mike doesn't like the Harper Conservatives.
Like most on the far left, he can't give you any tangible reasons why we should vote for someone else, he just attacks Harper because he doesn't like him. Mike buys into all the bullshit about hidden agendas, and hating the poor and being in the back pocket of big business. eating babies and killing kittens.
It really is tiresome, because if guys like Mike took the time to actually scratch below the surface and realize that in a big person's world, everything isn't as simple as it looks, and sometimes shit happens, they'd conclude that Stephen Harper has been a pretty good leader for this country.
By the way, Mike will vote NDP or Liberal, whatever he strategizes to be the best way to prevent a Harper majority.
And you know what, all of that is cool as long you balance it with some degree of rationale. Of course my detractors will argue that I'm not balanced, but hey people, my guy's in charge and the country's in great shape and the polls say Harper is heading towards a majority. That's all I need.
The other side would have you believe that there's a better solution, and that's what scares me, and in this case deeply concerns me about my sad friend Toronto Mike.
On his website Mike has posted something called "Shit Harper Did". It's a collection of headlines about the horrible things Stephen Harper has done over the past five years. It's ridiculous actually, because if you go beyond the headlines provided and read the stories behind them you'll realize the site is designed for you to take things out of context and jump to conclusions. That's what's clever (?) about it.
I assume they want you to go to the site, read their hysterical headlines and then not bother to read the linked story. It's a slimy tactic.
But that's not what bothers me the most. This does.
At the bottom of the website "Shit Harper Did" there is a banner that reads, "There are better options this election" and then it has the logos of all the other parties, including the Bloc.
Is that what it's come to Mike for you and your whimpering whining bunch of anti-cons. You'll endorse a website that actually endorses the Bloc Quebecois over the Conservative Party of Canada?
Are you that selfish in your unfounded hatred of the Conservatives that you'd actually endorse a party that stands for the break-up of your country?
Is your NDP cocooning that thick that you'd link to a site that not only pronounces things like "Stephen Harper doesn't know the difference between people from India and First Nations people" but also allows that the Bloc is a viable alternative?
Disgusting.
(if you want to see the site "Shit Harper Did" google it yourself. I've got too much pride to link to a site that endorses the Bloc)
