- It is time to Stand Up, Be Counted, Expose Harper for What He Is
To James Tarvers and all te Reproters in Canada:
It is easy to point to Ignatieff and say he has dropped the ball.
But what about all those people who voted against Harper and want him out of power, yes even those Liberals amongst them.
It is time every one in Canada who wants to re-establish Democracy to stand up and let themselves be counted. With the support of the people I have no doubt that Ignatieff will rise to the occasion.
The media is not off the hook either. Aside from it being their country too; as Harper himself said the media ought to be "[shining a] light into dark corners" of government and "assist the process of holding governments accountable”.
Instead, the media would rather criticize Ignatieff. One can only wonder to what extent, given the huge amounts of tax payers money, as well as Con Party money, Harper spends on media - central to the smooth running of their propaganda machine, the Harper and Con largess is tied to media that publish pro-Con materials.
Harper and the Con's have developed the biggest propaganda machine seen in Western democracies in
recent history that they have no hesitation in using no matter how reprehensible and morally and
secularly dishonest, approaching Canadians on an emotional level, with a total disregard for the truth.
The Harper, and the Con’s generally, style politics is of distortion, cover-up, duplicity, deception, obscuration and obfuscation, suppression of truth and, slandering, mud slinging and character assassination in lieu of serious and sober response to important issues. Their attitude to Science and Scientific research are in the dank ages and Crime reminiscent of the irrationality surrounding witch-hunts and the Inquisition.
