"NRA involved in gun registry debate"

If the truth be known . . .

It seems to me, a lot of people in Canada might be very surprised at the extent, range and degree to which Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada get instruction and direction from ultra-right conservative elements in the US. The NRA is but one facet.

I would guess that Con ideology, in all its fundamental glory, can be traced to the US.

When Harper says that he will follow the US in such important issues as Global Warming, it is no accident, simple dodging an issue, or trying to get close and personal with Obama. And, you can betcha the real motivation for the $16 billion purchase of the 65 F-35 is sourced in the US, to the extent that they made it sole source and did not allow any open bidding on it.

Of course, you can betcha Harper and the Con's will, as we have seen on many, many occasions, do his, and their, best to ensure that this truth not be known.

In cicblog: 31 Jul.'10, I opined:

Harper is part of the International (and not just the US) Con movement, epi-centre in the US (esp Southern) and especially right wing Republican's, but don't exclude the Tea Party. He takes his ideological, strategic, policy instructions from them. They also provide ideological, political analysis for Canada, as well as other areas.

You can be sure that right now, Harper is being instructed in how to further insinuate Con ideology into the very fabric of Candian society. In opening his campaign in the last election Harper proclaimed that Canadians are moving to the right (politically as opposed to morally). This is, of course, a distortion of reality (surprise, surprise). We are being dragged, by stealth and deception, farther and father to extreme right of Con'ism.
