3. That statement is way off the mark, As a Canadian....
I can tell you that the main reason Harper got voted in is because he was the best of 2 evils from which to choose. Martin's liberals had gone down the toilet with corruption and scandal over the last few years. They were beyond redemption in the eyes of the country and they knew it. Canadians basically "settled" with Harper. He and his crew couldn't be any worse. Up until now, they had been doing a pretty good job of keeping to their agenda and not rocking any boats. However, his rhetoric lately has been mirrowing Bush's more and more, but that is not any doing on the part of Canadians wishing it. We for the most part are the anti-bush. The first red flag incident was Harper's refusal to broadcast any images of the fallen soldiers coming back and not flying the flag at half mast anymore for each one who died. The famous "measured" response to Israel is basically a mini me reply to the head Neo con. No doubt about it.
