POSTED RESPONSE TO AN EDITORIAL IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
That's all Harper ever does...build momentum...political
momentum.
That's why all the vacuous photo-ops in parks.
Maybe they could just build a little fake arctic set in
Ottawa, all refrigerated and with a few Inuit kept around in native costume,
for filming these ridiculously meaningless efforts.
You know, like the fake lake for the G-20?
John Baird, baring his teeth, could pass for a sled dog too
if the camera did only a head shot.
Sovereignty in the North has only one serious threat, and
that is the hyper-militaristic United States.
But our Boy in Ottawa not only is the most servile in our
history towards that country and its goals, he is ready with agreements on our
borders which will only further and quickly erode claims to sovereignty.
If you recognize the importance of our North and its future
to us, you cannot support Stephen Harper.
But you do very much support Stephen Harper.
So this is all empty blather, just as his photo-ops are.
