“Bill C-51, the anti-terrorism bill, passed
third reading in the House of Commons last night as Conservative and
Liberal MPs voted in favour of the bill, leaving only the NDP and Green
opposed. It now heads to the Senate, which has already conducted most of its
hearings on the bill. Those hearings – which have included Canadian Privacy Commissioner
Daniel Therrien – have been better than the embarrassing Public Safety and
National Security review (hearing
by the numbers, witnesses,
and clause-by-clause
review), yet the outcome is almost sure to be the same. Bill C-51 is on a
legislative fast track and Conservative Senators are incredibly unlikely to
require amendments that would send the bill back to the House.” Michael Geist,
May 7, 2015.
Is anyone really surprised that the Harper government has
bulldozed Bill C-51 through parliament and that the Liberals voted with the
Harper government? That old saying “Liberal, Tory same old story” is surely a
truism. I believe what we are seeing in this country is a descent into a
dictatorship. There is an old saying, “by their actions you will know them,”
and that surely holds true of the Stephen Harper government. Anybody following
the actions of Mr. Harper over the last number of years might surely ask, is he
a danger to democracy? And does a mini-dictator rule Canada?
Mr. Harper also consorts with, and forms a “strategic
partnership” with, the dictatorship in Communist China, a land that has been
known to use slave labour and has exported poisoned goods, a land where many
workers have committed suicide due to the bad working conditions and where women
are coerced into forced abortions and people have been tortured for showing
dissent.
Stephen Harper also helps sell arms to the Saudi
dictatorship, the biggest be-headers in the world, and a country that
reportedly funds terrorists. Therefore, one has to ask, is he a hypocrite on
terrorism?
Surely this should make any thinking person ask, does
Stephen Harper have questionable allies?
Yet, Mr. Harper says not a word about these treacherous “allies.” But
instead joins a coalition that funds, arms and trains terrorists they are
supposed to be fighting.
But don’t expect the corporate
monopoly media to expose all the hypocrisy of this political “warrior.” They
all endorsed him in the last election, and some of them have become propaganda
pushers for Mr. Harper.
Still, one journalist and author did say this:
“Like all marketers,
however, Harper doesn’t care about facts — just making the sale. It’s high
time the journalism business started feeding this government back its record of
deceit and dishonesty — and holding Harper to account.”
Michael Harris. ipolitics. Dec.11, 2014
“Accountability” was a word Mr. Harper liked to use; instead,
we are seeing more and more hypocrisy from this so-called “conservative”
government. A former Conservative M.P
had this to say about the Harper government:
“I barely recognize
ourselves, and worse I fear that we have morphed into what we once mocked.” Former Conservative MP Brent Rathgeber
The above information are some examples of the hypocrisy
that emanates from the Harper Government. This is a government that prorogued Parliament
a number of times, has passed omnibus bills with little debate, and announces
changes to old age security in Davos to a gathering of the world’s elite before
discussing it in the Canadian parliament. Still, this is “democracy” in
Harperland!
There are also his secretive, so-called, “free trade deals”
that could result in loss of national sovereignty for Canada:
But hey, Mr. Harper is on record as saying, “You won’t recognize Canada when I
get through with it.”
Therefore, as I said earlier, nobody should really be
surprised at the tactics of the Harper government on Bill C-51. It is just a
continuation of the contempt I believe this man and his bootlickers in
government have for democracy, the parliamentary system, and innocent human
life. Not too long ago we had 491 babies born alive after failed killings by
abortionists in Canada.
They were then left to die. Were these not crimes of infanticide and crimes
against humanity?
Unfortunately Mr.
Harper, who likes to use the words “rule of law,” did nothing about these
atrocities. And this is the guy who is going to save us from terrorists? He cannot
even protect the most vulnerable in our society, the pre-born child and those
born alive after failed killings. One
can only say, “God help Canada.”
Are you still allowed to say that in Harper’s Canada? A country, I believe, that
appears to be transitioning from a democracy to a dictatorship.

enemies to justify their secret police and external enemies to justify their
military forces.” – Richard Perle

“Prime Minister
Stephen Harper never tires of telling Canadians that we are at war with the
Islamic State. Under the cloud of fear produced by his repeated hyperbole about
the scope and nature of the threat, he now wants to turn our domestic spy
agency into something that looks disturbingly like a secret police force.”
Editorial, Globe and Mail, February 1, 2015.
“Police states
sometimes come quickly, such as a coup d’etat by the military. In the West,
this process has been incremental. Most people laugh at the very idea that Canada is
becoming a police state. But since 9/11 governments have increasingly expanded
their power and diminished civil liberties. All in the name of fighting
terrorism, an arbitrary definition. When militant groups cause violence and
suffering – it’s called terrorism. When the government does it – it’s called
peacekeeping.” Caleb McMillan,
August 26, 2013. Mises Canada.
“We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again: the government
has simply not made its case for why this Bill is necessary and good for
national security....”
