Vain Hopers

I didn't think it would happen so soon.
Thanks to here for bringing the good news.
Already, the threats are being made: a radical Right agenda or bust. Not threats to Canadians in general (though they are surely under threat) but to Harper from some of his own "supporters."

...the Harper minority government did precious little to implement a conservative agenda. Rather than making government smaller, the Harper Tories made it bigger; rather than cutting spending they massively increased it; rather than providing fiscally responsible policies, they amassed record-setting deficits.

And now it's time to become true conservatives, or else they will take their ball and go play elsewhere.


These people live in an alternate reality where less than 40% of the vote, secured by soft-pedaling extremist views, is a landslide victory. Where Canadians just can't wait to ban gay marriage and abortion, and restore capital punishment. Where guns are a fetish and the protests of police chiefs at loosening regulations becomes stupid babble to be ignored.


They'll make Harper into the Kim Campbell of the new millennium if they get their way. They'll throw a huge tantrum and possibly walk out if they don't.


Popcorn time.
