Conservative Talk Radio: Conservative Party Of Canada

Founding Principles Dept: Everywhere one turns these days, even on conservative talk radio in Alberta, there s withering criticism of the Harper government. Either they ve lost their way and abandoned their founding principles; or they ve disastrously torqued the country into a shape alien to its traditions, using anti-democratic omnibus bills that sideswipe and denigrate the traditional powers of the House of Commons. The robocalls scandal has made them look power-hungry and dishonest; the F-35 affair, dishonest and incompetent, according to Montreal Gazette. To understand why, we need only consider where the Conservatives are strong, and where they are weak; and where the Liberals and New Democrats are strong, and weak. In a nutshell, the Tories, even after all their stumbles and bungles, still have a lock on Main Street. And the opposition, say what they will about responsible, competent public administration NDP or restoring the middle class, Liberals are battling over silver, not gold, and that mainly in Quebec and seven-year-itch? It would seem so. But it ain t so. Indeed, seven years to the day after the Harper-led Conservative Party of Canada won a razor-thin minority of 124 seats on January 23, 2006, with just over 36 per cent of the popular vote, it begins to look more like a rash than an itch. But looks can be deceiving. In this case, counterintuitive though it may sound given the foregoing, they most definitely are. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
