Behind Harper’s reluctance to revisit abortion issue

Harper and the Con's have a core of 33% die-hard supporters. People who are at the extreme right of Canadian social, economic and political values. They have and will support Harper pretty much no matter what, provided he does not abandon his right-wing extremist views and intentions.

They have been very patient in the last 5 years while Harper has had a minority government and even 'understanding' that Harper could not simply come out and in the first 100 days, radically change the social landscape of Canada to the extreme right of the spectrum of Canadian values.

After all it's better to in power than out.

However, with a majority Harper will have the absolute and unstoppable power and will have to Pay the Piper.

These right-wing extremists will demand their social agenda be implemented and Harper 'can not and will not' refuse.

It's just that simple.

Harper answer on the abortion issue sounds like Ignatieff's answer on a co-alition.

Harper still doesn't believe Ignatieff - that's the way Harper thinks, his world view - statements are only made to attain power, once power is attained they mean nothing - just compare what Harper has said in '97 and '04 regarding coalitions and his party attaining power albeit with less seats than the Liberals. Or, the Income trust betrayal, etc.

If we want to see what an uninhibited Harper would do with a majority

We must view Harper in the same lens he views the world. His statements now mean nothing once he acquires a majority.

We simply should not believe Harper when he says otherwise now.


Also,

What happened to the Harper Summit money squandering in Clement's riding scandal and the Auditor General's Report

and the Report on the Afghan Detainee Scandal

Harper may find these 'too complex' to be discussed during an election and if I were Harper I might feel the same way.

But, these are vital to Canadians determining whether we can trust Harper in power and especially with a majority.

These Reports may very well tell us whether we can believe Harper on the abortion issue or anything. But then that's way we don't have them.
