GOD BLESS CANADA!
20/01/2006



by John Chuckman : I hadn't realized until recently that Stephen Harper was using "God Bless Canada!" as a tagline for his speeches.


Some may think this a harmless, or even beneficent, expression for a politician to use, but for those with knowledge of history, nothing could be a more frightening.

I do believe we all know to whom Harper is tipping his hat with these words. George Bush, author of two wars which have killed more than a hundred thousand innocent people and the champion of an ugly set of repressive laws in the United States, says "God Bless America!" every chance he gets.

Some might say Bush uses the line because he has nothing else to say, and I don't doubt this is part of the truth. But slogans of this kind are always used to protect dangerous people from criticism. The words are used also as code, a kind of insidious political wink, to bloodthirsty supporters, the Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell types. They says things that cannot be uttered in public.

Bush usually says it in front of a set of gigantic, eagle-topped American flags, reminiscent of nothing so much as the days when Germany's leader spoke and sputtered in front of platoons of monstrous, threatening flags.

The Liberals in Canada have finally stepped right off the planet.
There's a chance they may well disappear as a viable political entity.

2. "Stand Up for Canada" is the Harper slogan ...up there with Clearn

Skies & Healthy Forests.

As soon as Harper is in power - if he gets a majority - in with missile defense shied, in with out with kyoto, out with all manner of international agreement the neocons don't like.
