[news] Right-Wing Radicals: Stephen Harper & the Conservative Party

[Mostly Water - mostlywater.org = news.resist.ca]

I am no fan of the Liberals, but the alternative scares the bejaysus out of me. "Conservatives" are expected to conserve things, but with their cynical manipulation of political language, Harper and his circle have no interest in quaint notions of a nation distinct from its southern neighbour. Whatever they call themselves, they are a party of radicals, who appear to be itching for an extreme makeover of the Canadian goose into the American eagle. If you still doubt it, there's Harper to tell you otherwise, when he described the Reform Party in 1997 "as very much the manifestation of the Republican movement in Western Canada."
