I don't think there is any doubt that Stephen Harper continues to 'work'. That is not an issue. It seems to me the issue is 'work at what'.

Without the sitting of Parliament to distract him and the media being able to shine a light on his dark corners, Harper can be even more secretive about what he is doing. And, you can bet'ya, it is not how to bolster Canadian Democracy, Canadian Unity, how to cease spending tax payers hard earned money with reckless abandon, policies designed for the good of all the people of Canada and not just the small, very well defined, group of right wing extremists that make up the die-hard core of Harper and Con supporters with epi-centre in Alberta and which are the reason Harper is at the helm and we have such a great concern as to what he is up to.

Harper is part of the International (and not just the US) Con movement, epi-centre in the US (esp Southern) and especially right wing Republican's, but don't exclude the Tea Party. He takes his ideological, strategic, policy instructions from them. They also provide ideological, political analysis for Canada, as well as other areas.

You can be sure that right now, Harper is being instructed in how to further insinuate Con ideology into the very fabric of Candian society. In opening his campaign in the last election Harper proclaimed that Canadians are moving to the right (politically as opposed to morally). This is, of course, a distortion of reality (surprise, surprise). We are being dragged, by stealth and deception, farther and father to extreme right of Con'ism.

The whole thing about the Census Long Form is a prime example of how Harper and the Con's are further insinuating Con ideology into the very fabric of Candian society.

The change is small and simple to implement, it is completely administrative, with no requirement (legal anyway, although morally there is, esp. given the impact to all our lives - in other words, Harper has no moral right to make this change without allowing all Canadians to have meaningful input into the decision, even Tom Flanagah has expressed it's non-Democratic exercise of government nature) for open discussion or Parliamentary review.

But, it will have huge and far reaching ramifications as far as re-enforcing Con ideology into Canadian society (refer to my prev blogs at: cicblog.com/comments.html - 26 July, 2010, 'One Small Step for Harper, One Giant Leap for Con'ism'). This explains the otherwise very puzzling stubbornness of Harper of not backing down on this issue. It really is a 'brilliant' tactical move (something along the lines of eliminating subsidies to political parties, proroguing Parliament so many times, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera), if your Attila the Hun. I'll just bet'ya it, and the others, arose out of the US.

If you want a more in depth explanation, just ask Tom Flanagan how important appointments by the Harper administration is to establishing the Con ideology in our very social fabric.

In other words Harper is attending Con Summer School.

I wonder what will be in store for Canada, and this otherwise great nation of ours, this coming Fall.
