Harper 's Election

Some thoughts on Mr. Harper and the Conservatives. I wish Mr. Harper would take his coat off and roll up his sleeves. I wish that he would relax. He doesn't have a secret agenda , he just looks like he does. I know his job is important but he should share his concerns with us (Canadians). Mr. Harper should be all thunder and lightening, he's on a mission, not to just be elected but to clean up the Augean Stables created by Liberals too long in power. You don't clean up h....s... with your coat on. The Canadian public have a sense of the foulness and corruptness that has become systemic in our government. They need reassurance that Mr. Harper is the man to do the job, not just someone who says he will. Mr. Harper needs to state that whistleblowers will be rewarded as well as protected, and political or bureaucratic officials found guilty of crimes will suffer severely. This should be spelled out in proposed legislation.
Public apathy is caused in part by a long history of abuse of public trust. There is some merit to the line "they are all the same". Mr. Harper must show that he is emotionally involved, he must nail his colours to the mast of the Conservative ship. How difficult can that be? A display of honest anger at every opportunity, some colouful language in a Churchillian mode is surely not to hard to come by.
Ms. Stronach should not be musing aloud to the press about the wisdom of the election timing. If she has persons in her riding who are unable understand what has been uncovered, she should be out there explaining why an immediate election is imperative. Ontario needs a federal Conservative government. For too long Ontario has acted as the other book-end to Quebec. Both of them need to lose their illusions and start showing political maturity. A Conservative government which lends hope that all parts of Canada will be represented, will allow Quebec and Ontario to see the opportunities that have been ignored by successive federal governments. The tragedy and the stupidity of Mr. Martin and his predecessors with their fixation on national unity as being focused on Quebec is in not realizing that the Maritimes and the West is were the focus should be.
So Mr. Harper, loosen your tie, shuck your coat and start telling the Canadian voter that you stand for a Canada that includes every province and territory, every ethnic and cultural grouping, and all the Canadian people. Honest government for honest Canadians!
