What Harper said

see: the video at: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/News/Canada/NL/1279609329/ID=1892271885

[at 25:50]
when asked by the local CBC reporter regarding whether his commitment on the loan guaranty on the Muskrat Falls project was in jeopardy if Harper did not get a majority and his local candidates did not get elected

"a strong Conservative majority government will be able to deliver on those commitments. A minority Parliament where effectively a majority of seats is held by the Liberals, NDP and Bloc, can not and will not deliver on that commitment."
[at: 27:36 - 28:36]


There is nothing, I have heard anyway, about the Liberals, NDP or Bloc stating that they would not support this project

so when Harper says "will not deliver on that commitment"

he can only be referring to himself.

And, what he means when he says he "will not deliver on that commitment" - he won't even introduce it to try to get it passed if he has a minority of seats.

Harper is insisting that he will re-introduce his budget unchanged and uncompromising even if he has a minority and it is the main stay of his platform.

Harper should state just exactly what he is planning if he gets a minority of seats, especially if he is not going to try to implement his platform.

There is very little of more importance to this election than the answer to that question.

Will Harper delay to re-call Parliament - he's done that type of thing before.

Will Harper demand another election

effectively saying that the majority of Canadian can not have their representatives determine who runs this country - as he has been saying all along.

All Canadians need to know this, now, before it's too late.
