The Sins of Stephen Harper '''

'''== Headline text ==

“He sold my country for 2 cents.”

I am trying to compile a comprehensive list of all of the outrageous acts of Stephen Harper as Prime Minister. I have started the list below and want to have it completed before the next federal election. Please only add facts that can be verified, I don’t want to give people a false impression of the man and his policies. Feel free to edit if necessary, or fact check if in doubt. I even encourage the cataloguing and classification of the list as I expect it to grow long. Thank you for cooperating.

Outrages perpetrated by Stephen Harper. 1.	Lowering the GST by 2% to buy votes. (It didn’t stimulate the economy and according to B Mulroney himself, was “lousy policy but great politics”)

2.	Blowing the largest surplus in Canadian history in only 2 years.

3.	Creating the largest deficit in Canadian history in the next 2 years.

4.	Raising the retirement age from 65 to 67.

5.	Introducing the anything but “Fair” elections act.

6.	Prohibiting civil servants from engaging in public discourse.

7.	Found in Contempt of Parliament.

8.	Forced citizens to sue the Fed government to follow its own laws and policies, especially the environmental ones.

9.	Introducing an “intensity based carbon policy” also known as the “Dilution is the solution to pollution” policy.

10.	Prorogued Parliament to avoid accountability.

11.	Promised to reform the Senate and then appointed over 50 (?) new hacks and flacks to the Senate.

12.	Made Canada the only country in the world to formally bail out of the Kyoto Accord.

13.	Not only repealed the gun registry, but destroyed the records it cost $1Billion to create.

14.	Cancelling income trusts after promising no to do it.

15.	Gave a $300Million handout to tobacco farmers to “Get out of the Business” and they are growing more than before the handout.

16.	Bribing the dying Chuck McKnight with a $1M life insurance policy to support his Minority Government.

17.	Operating an “In and Out” scheme to funnel public funds into Conservative Party Coffers.

18.	Elevating the person who orchestrated the tobacco handout, the McKnight bribe and the “In and Out” scheme, Doug Finley, to the Senate. BTW, Diane Finley, a Harper Cabinet Minister, is Doug Finley’s wife and now widow.

19.	Appointing Patrick Brazeau, Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin to the Senate. No need to say more about that.

20.	Allowing his other Senate lapdogs to offer the above 3 – Brazeau, Wallin and Duffy an option to maintain their Senate health benefits and therefore acknowledging that our much-admired Universal Health Care system is not good enough for Tory Senators, even disgraced Tory Senators.205.211.141.31 17:05, April 15, 2015 (UTC)205.211.141.31 17:08, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
