There are a number of thing we must keep in mind regarding this whole affair.

Stephen Harper in the past said whatever he, and whomever it was that was advising him, whether here or in the US, thought it would take to get a majority government.

Harper treats politics as if it were war,

and adheres to the adages:

"all is fair in . . . and war"

as well as

"the first casualty of war is truth",

"to the victor go the spoils"

Flanagan has compared Harper methods to those of Ancient Rome.
(Globe and mail, “Have the Liberals gone soft? Why are they upset over attack ads?”, 13 Jul.’09, Tom Flanigan)

(see my post: 13 July, 2009
- It is very revealing that Harper and the Cons would turn to Roman politics for justification of their extremely negative attack ads)

The Roman method of politics lead to dictatorship and finally degradation and ruin. Not the best example for political instruction. As far as I can see for the last 2000 years our society has considered the Roman Republic and her politics corrupt in the extreme. Enter stage 'right' Bush and Harper.


Harper and the Con's have a majority government and just as with the Robo Calls, when it gets right down to it, this scandal is going nowhere.

In the Robo Call affair, no matter to what degree the Canadian Democratic process was interfered with, There is no way Harper will allow a by-election as a result of any finding by Elections Canada and no way he will allow an Inquiry. Harper is supported by approx 35% die hard Con and they simply don't care. That's simply the realities with Harper.

Harper and the Con's have already been found in Contempt of Parliament for not providing information regarding the purchase of the F-35's. Along with his 'Tough on Crime" agenda.

In fact Harper and the Con's were impeached Canadian style

and we went to the election on that issue.

If Harper had come clean at that time, would he have won the election. Well, he would have got the support from the Die hard Con;s who simply don't care. But, there is a real and significant chance her would have ended up out of power.


For Harper to suggest that he did not mislead Parliament on the cost of the F-35's because he was not including "operating and salary costs, the government says, which would be incurred regardless of the aircraft purchased."

is simply Harper-wash.

How could Harper say that 10 billion dollars would be spent anyway, even without the F-35's.

Here's it real simple

no F-35's = no operating and salary costs attributable to the F-35's = no $10b

Harper and the Con's have been hiding the true costs of the F-35

But the real issue, which is being shrouded, is

Harper is hiding the true purpose he wants the 65 F-w35's.

These are offensive, first strike, war planes, plane and simply

What war are is Harper is planning that he is not telling us about.

Look for Harper in Question Period looking right into the camera and with the double 'V' signs saying

"I am not a liar"
