(32 posts)19. The right wing happened...
Our neo-con Prime Minister Stephen Harper now has a majority government (on 39% of the votes cast) and he is remaking Canada based on his ideology.
He is doing the typical right wing thing - eliminating environmental controls, cutting services, giving tax cuts to the rich, implementing lob-sided free trade agreements that only favour the rich, he wants to bring in warrantless spying, he's brought in a new crime bill with minimum sentences (among other things) to fill up his prisons, he's cutting our pensions (even though economists says it's not necessary) he wants to privatize our health care system and so on.
We are doomed as a nation.
