Canadians must understand
what Harper will do
what Harper is capable of
after the election
we need only look at what he has said and done in the past - right-wing extremists do not lose their spots
If Harper gets a majority it is easy to predict:
4 years of light-speed implementation of right-wing extremist policies based solely on the Harper and Con'ism ideology supported by little more than 1/3rd of Canadians, with no foundation in rationality, or what is best for all Canadians
As far as any promises made during the election suggesting respecting the views of the majority - it would be ' all bets are off ' for Harper after all 'it is the will of the people'
even if it is 'the will' of only just over 1/3 of the population - anyone that doesn't think this must explain, for example, Harper's Income Trust reversal
If Harper ends up with more seats but not a majority
You can betcha he will not give up power willingly - vis.:
'Losers don't form governments'
Harper will not seek the support of other parties - co-operation means you do what I want
If the PM does not voluntarily go to the GG then it is precipitated by a non Confidence vote
Look for Harper delaying in recalling Parliament
If you want to understand what Harper is capable of look at what he said last time in Parliament on 2 Dec.'08 When faced with losing power:
"we will fight it with every means that we have"
Harper will continue to abuse Democracy and have Contempt for the duly elected representatives of the Moderate Majority, and tear asunder Canadian values and way of life, unless he is soundly defeated.
Solution:
Moderate Majority engage, consolidate, get out and vote, and send Harper back from whence he came.
