Oh Canada… *sigh*

August 25th, 2008

About a year ago I expressed apprehension at the fact that I felt my views toward America were beginning to apply more and more to Canada as well, and I have to say in the interim it’s only gotten worse.

I’ve not been impressed with Canada’s current government. I’ve not been impressed with the almost covert ways in which they cut funding and execute deregulations which put more and more power into the hands of corporations… Frankly, it’s frightened me. And it’s depressed me that despite Harper’s current pandering about a government that can’t get things done, the fact of the matter is he’s had an almost free-ride since Liberals have been afraid to challenge him to firmly on anything for fear of causing an election they weren’t ready to win.

Anyway, for some thoughts on this …check out Heather Mallick’s editorial for the week.
