avi's adventures

Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade; And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley.

Momma always says....

Stupid is as stupid does.

Actually, my mom never said that. Tom Hanks movies aside, this little pearl of wisdom almost explains the PM's recent moves. Almost.

So the leader of the corrupt believes his re-election lies in 2 issues. First, the economy. Sure, sure...the economy is great. We are the envy of the free world. Blah, blah, blah. All I have to say to that is if a party as deceitful and dishonest as the Liberals can provide us with another budget surplus, think what the Conservatives could do....Harper would infuse the economy with new jobs, cozy up to our neighbours from the south on issues like softwood lumber and other natural ressources. Increased military spending would again, lead to more jobs, and perhaps clear the fog of inefficiency as it relates to our depleted Armed Forces. Bottom line here is simple.....It's the economy, stupid! Liberals or not, we would be in the same financially superior situation than we've found ourselves in decades past. So for me, the 'economy' argument is moot.

Next we have the all familiar Martin cry that Stephen Harper has a hidden agenda. Well isn't that the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it? Has the Gomery scandal taught you nothing, Mr. Prime Minister? We Canadians are sick and tired of being bullied into voting Liberal, not on their merits, but purely and solely based on the other parties inability to relate to us. But those days are behind us, Mr. Prime Minister. After 16 months of opposition leader Harper, we have realized his agenda is anything but hidden. He is true to his party, his platform and his constituents. that's a lesson the Red and White should learn soon, right Mr. Prime Minister?

So this election (in 55 days) is about lessons learnt. We Canadians have learnt our lessons the hard way, Mr. Prime Minister. But we will not repeat them. The question is, Mr. Prime Minister, will you?
