Does Harper Hate Canada


Does Harper Hate Canada? (The Non Hidden Agenda of our PM)... Pls read his '97 speech (link below)  and YOU decide!

Peculiar don't you think that he clearly expresses his disdain of Canada and Canadians to USA rightwing thinktank ~Council of NationalPolicy, but not to us Canadians?

Some excerpts (slightly edited w aim to keep original meaning.)

* "if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians."
*our executive is the Queen, who doesn't live here. Her representative is the GG who is an appointed buddy of the Prime Minister.
*Canada is a Northern European welfare state ...and very proud of it.....
*In terms of the unemployed.. don't feel... bad for many of these people. They don't feel bad about it themselves, as long as they're receiving generous social assistance and unemployment insurance.
*the Senate..is appointed... by the PM, where he puts buddies, fundraisers and the like. So the Senate also is not very important in our political system.
*If any member of these political parties votes differently from his party on a particular issue, well, that will be national headline news.
*The Reform party is very much a leader-driven party... organized as a personal political vehicle
