Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party getting rid of the Long Form could violate International Treaties - interesting point.

The problem is that it is clear that Harper and the Con's simply don't care. With his refusal to bend unless forced to, unless the UN passed a Security Counsel Resolution to constitute a mission to enter Canada and liberate Canadians, I can't see it making much difference - except this may explain Harper spending 16 billion on 65 F-35's (at least it would give it some rationality, albeit twisted).

Throwing out numbers and asserting 'statistics' they fail to substantiate is only to present a facade of rationality based government, one that is for the good of all Canadian - in a word a 'Con'. To call them on it each time is a mug's game, they simply ignore the realities they are being confronted with and go to the next 'Con'.

All Harper polices are solely ideologically based, what furthers the cause, what benefits the small core of die-hard right wing extremists epi-centred in Alberta. These supporters do not require logic they will support Harper no matter what, as long as Harper leads the cause, that is.

In reality, for Harper and his Con's it's very much 'our way and the good of Canada and Canadians be damned'.

As long as the Harper policies do not consolidate the opposition then Harper can implement his ideological policies, whether they may violate International Treaties and Conventions, or not.

Throwing Harper out of power and putting another, non extremist, party in power, could not be so bad as to compel us to allow Harper to continue down the path he is taking us.
