Stephen Harper Redeems Himself

 Last week, former Prime Minister Harper along with many other "eminent" Canadians including Paul Martin placed a Full Page Ad in our Daily Newspapers wherein they denounced Discrimination...

And as you know, I did a Blog about it.

This had to be the most un-newsworthy bit of the year and yet it was quite noteworthy since it excluded any reference to us Christians - i.e. the ones who are having their Churches Burned and Vandalized.  Some 60 Churches across the country to date have met this fate.  As I said in my earlier Blog, the only way this motherhood statement of Harper et al would have been newsworthy is if they had all come out for discrimination.  

Be that as it may, with his Article in the July 30th edition of the  National Post - Harper redeemed himself:  "The modern left ...its ethics are entirely nihilist. It's all about ripping everything down and seeking to end the democratic system. The adolescent egos of the woke university crowd is not an alternative governing philosophy for any society". 

As you know, I have been saying similar things but for me the underlying reason this is happening is that Societies of the World lack the Values and the Principles that our ancestors possessed. With Values and Principles come Vibrant Democracies along with the Rule of Law.  Their absence ensures the rise of dictators...that is to say -  authoritarianism.  

It use to be that our Members of Parliament at least paid lip service to the concept of representing their constituents.  Now they represent the Party's Leader to the Riding.  And once in Parliament, it gets even worse...they become trained seals at the bidding of the PMO. 

So with that in mind, let's take a look in some more detail at what has happened to our so called Democracy here in Canada since our "esteemed" Prime Minister J. Trudeau was first elected in 2015:

  • He has increased our Debt to well over $1 Trillion Dollars and continues to spend Billions more by the Day...all without any Parliamentary Oversight.  The Independent Auditor estimates that it will take at least until 2070 to see a balanced budget... if even then;
  • Parliament has been shuddered on numerous occasions with Governmental Decisions being made from the P.M.'s Porch Step;
  • Vital Parliamentary Committees have been filibustered and made neutered; 
  • Our Courts - populated by unelected officials have been left to do the heavy lifting when it comes to contentious issues.  It used to be that Judges interpreted the law...now they make it. 
  • Trudeau's support for Quebec's Bill C-21 - and sadly as well as our other Leaders means He / They have little or no regard for Religious Freedom - one of the Main Pillars of any Healthy Society.;
  • Recent Bills to limit Freedom of Speech go to the very Heart of how Dangerous a Character this guy Trudeau is...why the World's Dictators look on in Envy;
  • And he has bought and paid for a good portion of the Press with Taxpayer Dollars.  His so-called Daily News Conferences are open to only Friendly Media hence the soft ball questions that He can so deftly deflect;
  • Finally, His Distain for the Rule of Law was amply shown with His showing former Justice Minister Jody Wilson Raybould the door. 
I could go on but hopefully the above gives you a sense as to why here in Canada Democracy is under  attack as it is in many other countries...The Progressives Are Calling The Shots. 

Harper ends his missive by saying that even with Trudeau's attack on Our Failing Democracy ..Canada is still the Best Place in the World To Live.  Sad, but True.  But it could and Should be so Much Better.

Hopefully things will in time right themselves but regardless, at least we Canadians have our Families, Friends, and Faith to hold on to and a Standard of Living that is the Envy of Much of the World.  But as my first point indicates, even that is in grave danger thanks to the worst Prime Minister we have had to endure since the time of His Father ...the Infamous Pierre Elliott some 37 years ago.

As I See It...
