The Harpocrits and Canada's Malaise.

Brian Mulroney once referred to Harper as "Ronald Regan like". Recently we have seen the ill effects of Mr. Mulroney's own personal judgement, and this comparison is no exception. First of all Ronald Regan was patriot, Harper is not, but they do love America so it may be true. Sorry Mr. Mulroney but Mr. Harper has now shown signs of another one term wonder, Jimmy Carter. In his last year before the election year, Carter made the famous malaise speech telling Americans to expect less. Now Harper is telling Canadians to do the same. We will run budget surpluses while cities crumble with crushing deficits and rising costs. Public transit upgrades are desperately needed, but we need to use that money on our Challenger jaunts and limo rides. Expect less Canadians, but you can expect we will spend more on ourselves. Well Mr. Harper, Carter's "Malaise Speech" didn't work out for him, so telling people the same won't work out for you.
