16. Just like you guys

There is a large apathetic group that doesn't really look at policies, just at personalities. And there's a bit of "It can't happen here" type of denial with regards to what has happened to our south. Plus, our media is (slowly) shifting as well. We have some safeguards in place, and those safeguards have slowed the bastardization (is that a word? lol) of our media but there are some people hell bent on changing it. And most people don't see dopey-looking Harper as a threat, because he's soft-spoken and kinda 'fluffy'. Oh, and Harper is great at keeping what he is doing a secret. Us Canadians are slow to outrage (but when we do, it's not pretty) so unless Harper really fucks up openly, I see this continuing.
