More Ranting about "THE HARPER GOVERNMENT"

To continue where I left Off from the last post I'll start with how this election was triggered. The Harper Government had been found in contempt of parliament, this situation has never happened before in any British parliament. The reason for this charge was that they were not disclosing the true actual cost of what those 65 F-35 were going to cost. originally the government said the total cost would be just under 16 billion dollars, what occurred next was that Kevin Page our parliamentary financial officer came out with figures that almost double the governments figures. We then learn that he had to go to the Americans, British, and Australians to get the true cost. Our supposedly accountable Harper government would not release how they got that 16 Billion dollar figure.
Another unprecedented occurrence from this Harper Government was that one of his ministers was found to have mislead and lied to parliamentarians both in the House and in committee of inquirer. She changed legal documents by inserting the word "NOT" in the middle of a sentence and when they questioned her about it she said she never did it then later said she ordered a staffer to do it. If that wasn't enough four high ranking members of the Conservative party who worked on the 2004 election were being investigated for election fraud, two of these for are now Senators that Stephen Harper appointed. Speaking of appointing senators, Stephen Harper had always campaigned on cleaning up the senate and that he would never appoint any senators, in reality he turned out to be the Prime Minister to appoint the most Senators. There's also the fact that as soon as was originally elected on the pretense that he would clean up Ottawa, he in fact has made it far worse. When he first became Prime Minister the first thing he did was cancel pretty much every one of the Liberal programs only to re-release them a year later as Conservative policies. I think the most iterating thing he did, and probably the main reason I started being interested in all the politics stuff, is because in his first year he went to the other word nations and said that he would not honor Canada's legal commitment to the Kyoto agreement, and since then he has appointed four environment ministers in under five years and has done absolutely NOTHING on the environment except obstruct the whole world debates and agreement process. Canada is now seen on the world scene as one of the worst components of the global warming epidemic.
