That's not news to me anymore. Stephen Harper is a scum bag, but he's really fuckin good at it. He knows all too well how to Jedi Mind Trick the Canadian People. Are you surprised that he let out another book about "The origins of Hockey" in the middle of all this, so people can read it in the midst of another moment of potential revolt towards his government?
Stephen Harper CAN'T be a bad person. Nothing can be his fault. He likes hockey like a good Canadian, God bless `em and praise Jebus der eh, I tell ya, it breaks my heart to see these kids die in DurkaDurkistan while I get paid $850,000 a year to be a senile old man and spout ignorant horseshit to an ignorant populace once a week.
God Bless Don Cherry and Stephen Harper. Where would we be without Big Brothers like them telling us how to think and relieving us of the pain of making decisions for ourselves? Lord have mercy us poor peons be forced to think for ourselves. We might actually become good at it and start asking questions and demanding accountability of our elected officials.
As for the Billion dollars, I think it is equally possible that the Liberals are just fuckin retarded as that they embezzled it by design. One of Ottawa's last mayors fucked us over for $250 million in defaulted contracts and lawsuits because he waffled on light rail expansion. I wish I was the Siemens contractors who got paid to do a whole lot of nothing.
